Default Post your computer audio setup!

I was at [H]ard Forums earlier and was looking through a great thread they had showcasing some people's audio setups. By all means post pics of your headphone setups too!

Jimmy

I've posted before, and my setup has seen some updates since these were taken, but it'll give a pretty good idea:

L shaped work area from Left to Right

My work area - where I build amps and cables, and/or work on other projects


Center area where my main stereo equipment is located

Pictured here:
PIMETA being worked on, sitting on top of speaker
Koss A250's are on the stand, Senn HD595's are on the holder by the monitor
Entech Number Cruncher 203.2 DAC and LDII+ tube headphone amp. the number cruncher as since been sold
Sony SCD-CE595 is now in the living room and I'm saving up for either a Marantz or NAD CDP
Sansui 6060 Receiver, great unit but has been replaced by a Marantz integrated amp. The Sansui Is sitting in the corner right now... I'll prob need to sell it at one point.

Now, I have th Philips DVP-642 being used as a CD transport to my upgraded Zhaolu 1.3 DAC. I also have a Beresford TC-7510 MKIII that I just got as well.

And here you can see the other speaker



Most of my headphones remain unseen in these pictures so I'll list my main cans
Sennheiser HD580 w/ HD600 grills & HD650 cable
Sennheiser HD595
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro/80
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro/250
Grado SR225
Koss KSC75
JVC Marshmallows

oh, I'll post my current lineup of amps too:
home:
LDII+
PIMETA
portable:
LDM+
XP
Xtra X-1
C&C Box
