I made some needed changes. It may not look as cool(old guy lingo) but its way less likely to give me heartache. Or wallet burn. I tried switching to 36" posts for the ultimate support stands but the greenery behinde wasn’t havin it. So back to the 45"ers. I placed them between low shelves(for plants in the windows) and seating. I used a 1/4 aluminum plate from an old PC desk for a table top. For now its only placed on the speaker pads and clamped with plastic cheap clamps. Its still way more stable than the tower of power. I use a third stand to hold headphones and after the pics I added a clamp-on headphone hanger. It has also freed up the spot in front of a sub for easier access to that. Im not sure i want to permanently afix the top to the stands because, well you know, I’ll probably change it again when I get new gear. But hey when i move things. Im forced to clean.
I used those to fully curtain my listening room on all 4 walls and they work great. Put some bass traps in and the difference is absolutely colossal. It works great for speakers, but it’s also so epic for open backs lol.
Went with Blue switches for the ESC row, keys around home and numpad. Brown for the number rows, tab, caps, shift, ctr, windows and alt keys. Red for the alphabet. For now at least.
These swimming ear plugs are a neat idea for when I take showers. I had swimmer’s ear several years ago which had to be treated. I regularly check my ears with an otoscope. I recently noticed what might be a few small specks of fungus amongst the small amounts of ear wax. It is high time that I prevent any water from entering my ear canals. These swimming ear plugs will prevent the major source of inner ear moisture which is the shower. Obviously IEMs are another potential cause of inner ear moisture.
JDS Labs Element IV
Genuinely fantastic. I do recommend. Could be an all in one end game for many. Has built in 10 band PEQ, UAC1 support for consoles like PS5 and Switch, ability to adjust 2nd and 3rd order harmonic distortion as desired (for tube-like sound), tons of power, the large knob on top can be clicked in to switch between headphones and pre out for speakers. It has everything from a feature standpoint. AND it sounds fantastic out of the box. Listened to both the Atriums and Arya Organic and both were stellar. JDS knocked this out of the park. I think both subjectivist, Objectivists, and everyone in between would find this great.
It only comes with 6.35 but JDS offers the option of swapping it for a 4.4 balanced output of desired using the notes at checkout. The clear acrylic knob is also a custom option that looks really nice.
This will be the quintessential viewing experience for this film since literally no known worthy video quality copies exist, at least that I have found. If you are (like me) a fan of this movie or the director, it should be a worthy addition to your collection!
Yessir, I really like it. It’s got a great feel to it and it is very pliable. I may just pop it on one of my sets here to check it out as opposed to waiting for the P5+2. I am curious!
I need to rearrange where my equipment sits from between the speakers to off to one side and needed longer cables.
Does anyone know what’s happening at Periapt? I went there to get the speaker cables which is where I bought the ones I’m using now, and they’re not accepting orders.
