What DAC(s) are you using with your current amps, you didn't mention any...

Nice collection of headphones there, krankcolc, and great to see a little action on here, let's keep it up!
I need to update my gallery, lots of outdated pics, much of that stuff is now gone. Still own the Little Dot, and 6 of those cans, but have lots of other stuff not pictured.

Yeah, it is nice to see some action on here. For me though, it's all come to a screeching halt. I just don't see myself doing anything more in the future at all. I feel I'm set with what I have. If anything, I may start to sell off some stuff. Owning 14 pairs of headphones, a few amps and at least 150+ sets of tubes, I believe I'm set for?.....Life maybe? lol
On another note, I'm right back to the film and home theater side. I updated my entire system and finally went 4K and Atmos. What an incredible difference. I don't know if I'll ever go to the movie theater again....whenever that even starts to happen.

I keep contemplating doing the full home theater setup, but then I keep buying pinball machines so it never happens. With small kids in the house, it'd be hard to find much time to use the home theater. I can use the pinballs every day!

You could use the theater every day too. There's a TON of family movies out there where the kids just eat that stuff up. Just ask my grandkids (and our kids when they were younger) who NEVER go to the movies anymore. "Let's go to grandpa's house, he has everything to watch"
You should look into it. Maybe not now but later? Sounds like you're pretty young with a couple little ones so you got time. You have a pretty sizable collection too so it would be well worth it in the long run sometime down the road. I was contemplating for years (since Atmos came out but waited until it was a bit more mainstream and proven) then finally took the plunge. Being an enthusiast the way I am, it was the best thing I ever did.... hobby wise. Of course and it goes without saying, you have priorities with the kids right now where I'm just about ready to retire and just enjoy the days ahead while being able to afford it. I get it man!
By the way, I agree, you have a passion for headphones so congrats on that. Nice varied collection I might say. Keep rockin bro! (or bro-ette)

By the way, how do you post pics on this site? It NEVER works for me as my files are too big when they're actually microscopic when I download them. I go to Head-Fi and can download any and everything with no problems. This should be as basic and simple as it gets but I'm just not getting it. Any suggestions as I'd like to post some pics one of these days?

[frogmeat69]

Don't you have to use something like Photobucket or similar? Been a while since I've posted any, can't remember.
Vracer111, help some old guys out, lol.

I use SmugMug for my photos... paid service but I'm into photography and it's absolutely worth it for me.

https://www.smugmug.com/

I'm sure there's free sites, but you have to worry about view limits and storage with them.

I just link to the url of the picture/s I want to show using the picture button in message option (or [img]url address[/img] format which is same thing...)

For posting pics, imgur is a free site.
After you upload a pic (hidden, or for public), go to your "Posts" menu (the button on the top right of the screen)...




Then, it goes to the screen with all your uploaded photos:





... click on your picture, then hover the cursor over the image, and a popup will appear:




... click on the down arrow and choose "Get Share Links". It will have links to the image that you can paste onto a forum.




NOTE:
1. The "BBCode" link will post the picture and adjust resolution size to the web browser's current screen size, which is convenient.
2. If you post more than one picture at once, it will save as a "portfolio" in the picture menu screen. Click on that, and all your pics from that upload will appear.
3. I notice that when I log in initially, the site is bugged and won't load my screen properly. I hit F5/refresh and it then provides the proper menu options.

Home: Schiit Bifrost 2 --> Cavalli Liquid Platinum (Monoprice) --> HD650
Work: Schiit Modi 3 --> Schiit Vali 2 --> HD600

I was on the audio merry-go-round for a long time, but these two setups have lasted over a year each now, so I think it may finally stick.

Sexy setup.

What is the top tube amp?

Is that a black Yggy Dac?
I love my Yggy Dac however I hate the silver colour. Thinking about car wrapping it.

Bifrost 2 and Monoprice Liquid Platinum amp (Cavalli design).

Most Schiit stuff is available in black now. I don't mind the silver, but the matching black boxes are definitely more my speed.

Damn you those sets are awesome

The material on the left can of my Sennheiser 6XX keeps making a squeezing sound as I move. It's kind of distracting. How do I fix it? My 558 used to do the same thing.
