Pics of your listening space

Nice setup elcoholic, looks like you know the value of negative space.

FYI, copper pipes can be made into table legs.

An old project of mine (see image below). I had to cut, flatten and bend the copper pipe into a flat tab for the 90 degree mounting points. Black threaded gas line pipe has plates for this and is much sturdier, I suppose you could also fill the pipe hollows with lead buck shot.

Aegir, Freya, Bifrost 4490 and a Skoll, just pre-Forkbeard. Across the room, next to my recliner is the venerable 1st gen Lyr headphone amp. For our safety it's connect with 70' of Mogami W3106 dual channel stereo mic cable through an ART Cleanbox Pro. I run the Lyr wide open and the Freya in SS gain mode. It's excellent and nobody is gonna bust a hip tripping over my HP cable. Trippin' maybe, but not tripping. I like the Skoll very much with my hotrod DL-103r, but I want to try it with the Denon SUT next. Oh yeah I have a Bifrost Uber to compare against the 4490, but it's the healthier choice since the 4490 is a medical chip :biggrin:

I'd be hanging out in the Schitt'rs headphone demo room a lot if it wasn't a 130 mile r/t

My new Wotan and Stjarna both have Forkbeard, but I use the remote controls much more often than the cell phone app. I'm thinking about trying their new Mimir DAC to see if it improves the SQ of either of my Bluesound Nodes - if not it will definitely improve the Yamaha CD-S300 player in the family area (it is nothing special, just generic BPC).

Changed things up a bit. I originally had these KLH model 15A speakers with the Pioneer SX-3700 but they sounded too small, so swapped them with some Klipsch RP-600M’s. It sounded great with the Klipsch but of course the wife preferred the look of the KLH speakers. So, I added a very inexpensive Polk PSW10 and it really brought it alive. It sounds way better like this, and the wife is happier with how it looks. I have little say in house decorating, so I’ll take what I can get!

I switched up my setup a bit.. pulled my subs out, my sound card, and switched to the onboard optical from my mobo to the smsl. I found the input power might have been a touch too high as it seems it was feeding a ton of extra energy for reasons that are unknown to me.

Anywhoo.. it sounds noticeably better and it pounds :)

I also bought some cheapo speaker spike things from Amazon.. I glued them to the bottom of the cabinet so it is easier for me to move them around lol.. they have base that they drop in to so I can slide them around.

i like decoupling. there's a million ways to do it. i have granite plinths with a horsestall mat under them on carpeted suspended wood floor. makes a big difference reducing floor and wall resonance.
so, you fabricated the racks? they are really well done.
