LOL'd @ #3
nice collection.. I don't feel bad at all now having a pair of headphones at every listening station in my house and an extra set of ATH-M50s just in case.
@Viper87227:
Your setup rocks
Two questions if you don't mind:
How happy are you with the bifrost/asgard 2 setup? I was thinking about picking up the exact same combo.
Because of my 2 large monitors (34in ultrawide LG and 30in dell) I cannot place my bx8 in the optimal position and I was thinking about placing them like you did. Do they still sound good a bit asymmetrical like that?
Thanks! It's actually a bit overkill, I've got too many headphones that I like to much to part with and I prefer having several midrange pairs to one really expensive pair. I still think the Q701 might end up going though.

The lineup. From left to right: AKG Q701, Grado RS2i, Audio-Technica AD900, (Hiding) Yuin PK1 & C&C BK amp, Philips Fidelio X1, Denon D2000, Schiit Asgard 2 and Bifrost Uber.
I had one of those for a little while but with cats racing over my desk I couldn't find a good safe place for it.. I ended up with an e11k for durability reasons... and portability too. The Bravo was neat looking.. ran a bit warm though.
I immediately put one of the other tubes in, the generic tube was what was running uber hot for mine. Once I put the Electro-Harmonix in, it was a lot cooler. My cat stays off the desk so I am good there.
Also the Electro-Harmonix sounds incredible on classic-rock and jazz, terrible for any kind of gaming or anything like that, just for soft listening
The gold lion tube sounds incredible all around, would be my pick for tubes.
How...how do you get this to happen. Hell, one of my cats has discovered that he can squeeze beneath the monitors and get on top of the receiver (which sits under my center monitor) so he can enjoy a nice, warm cave.
That amp looks nice--a part of me want to get into tube stuff, and wants this particular one, but I can't really justify getting something like this because I barely use headphones around the house.
In fact my wife's rule was never on the couch, never on the kitchen table, never on the desk...... for the cat.
nice. did similar to my 770's you modded for me ages ago. I have some chicago screws (screws that screw on via the barrel of the screw) if you need some. This way there is no nut showing and both sides are rounded. I got into leather work last year so I have pretty much everything in this regards.
Looking at pictures... that's probably exactly what I need.
nice! I see you had to use the leather washers.. I wasn't sure if they were going to be short enough.
I just bought a pair of HD650 cans. Running them through the Objective2 amp & ODAC. Also, I should get in the AKG K7XX cans from Massdrop any day now.This is my current setup.
HD650 > Lyr 2 > Bifrost Uber > Macbook Air
Doubt he's running all those at the same time. Given the amount of stereo gear in his rack, and the fact a lot looks duplicative (see a amp/pre-amp and a couple integrated in his rack and on his desk), I have a feeling he has different speakers for different types of music, and he simply has them all side by side so he doesnt have to use speaker stands....Friendly advice - get one proper pair. More is not better in this case.

Not a ideal setup, but great for storage .
I also have 2 sets of speakers, a integrated amp, a preamp/amp combo and soon will be adding powered monitors. So a pic of my system would look wonky as it would lead you to believe I use all them at the same time which isnt the case....
Wow, I wonder why those are half the price of the black ones, is there any differences (besides the color) between the two?
