A rack is incoming to put everything in one place instead of having everything scattered across the desk but this is the main rig currently. Hopefully soon I will be adding the Feliks Audio Envy and Susvara to the collection.

It's the Cayin HA-3A.

It costs around £1500 and the price to performance of this amp is amazing.

This is my headphone storage solution:

Ikea Kallax shelves with the drawer inserts. Each drawer contains its own pair and the bottom of the drawers are lined with stiff felt to keep the headphones from scratching. I've stored my collection this way for years.

Decided to add labels to the drawers. :)

Time for a new family photo since I made some changes on the analogue front.

I think this is great! Just seeing a turntable, tape deck and CD player gives me nice nostalgia vibes. I ditched all of mine a long time ago but I can still appreciate it and it’s cool to see someone still using this kind of kit. Very nice setup. Well done!

Thanks!

It's kind of therapeutic. Having access to all kinds of music at our fingertips, we tend to forget that listening to music had an almost ritualistic component: reading a CD booklet, cleaning an LP, or rewinding a tape. It's nice to sometimes go through that experience again. And the sound is just great :)

Family is out of town on a visit to relatives so I have the house to myself for about 4 days. Brought everything out to the living room on a new rack my audiophile friend gave me due to his new equipment/setup.

Unfortunately, I sprained my wrist pretty bad this morning tripping over a concrete sidewalk, so setting all this up myself was a total b*+ch. So far I'm just doing bluetooth but there's a strong possibility I'll bring the laptop out and connect USB>DAC.

The DAC is the iFi Zen One Signature and the amp is the Phonitor XE.

Thank you! Yes, it's actually a pretty cozy living room but it does provide a lot of breathing room at the same time. The view from the front window is why I brought everything out. We have lots of nature that hangs out in the front yard and across at the neighbors (birds, hawks, deer, foxes, squirrels) and it's always nice to sit and view the activity.

Thank you! I'd love to hear the 660s2. I did the 660 on a Phonitor X w/ built-in DAC at a shop and I found it exactly like Z Reviews described it: the 600 but moooore.

I was speaking more in terms that you now have a nice, large audio unit that you need to fill up. :grin:
