Your Desktop Audio Setup?

[ENEN]

May I ask what brand and model the tablet holder to the left is, and where you got it?

I bought it from TaoBao (a Chinese E-Commerce Store) for 19CNY (3USD) no brand, didn't find the exact same but found one similar on Amazon, the top bar that connects to the holder seems shorter compared to mine:

Do the Brits really put sugar and milk in their tea?

According to unconfirmed rumors, Tibetans add yak milk, horse fat, black salt and holygrass to their coffee.
I don't have a desktop system; I listen to a far-field system at my computer desk.

Same. I recently moved and am now using small towers positioned in front of my desk.

2 DIY Kanspea 3" full range Fostex driver speakers, powered by a Fosi V3. Inputs are via a Schitt SYS dual input switcher, which switches between computer audio (Focusrite 2i2 with Condensor mic input, and acts as DAC for computer sound), and a Chromecast audio which streams Roon. Headphones are using the Focusrite headphone out adapter.

...Vandersteen Model 1B,..

My eyes must be tricking me.
Those Vandies look like some of the 2C versions.

My Dynaudio LYD 48’s have arrived after a 3 month delay, replacing my previous KRK G4 Rokit 7’s and KRK 10s sub, not got them hooked up to the KRK sub just yet as I want to wait a while to see how they sound, although I will probably end up buying the Dynaudio 18s sub in the new year.

They are a definite improvement on the KRK’s though, very wide and open with a fat juicy midrange that’s putting a big smile on my face.

I’m not moving from my seat till I develop pressure sores on my arse…….or until my beer runs out………

Did you finally get the 18S? Can you share impressions ?

Did you finally get the 18S? Can you share impressions ?

Yeah, I bought one - very simple to setup/implement into my system as it had a preset for use with the LYD48’s, ran it for a few months with absolutely no issues and was very happy with just the one 18S but found one listed on eBay that mentioned it was broken/didn’t work so I took a chance and placed a max bid of £200, i didn’t win the auction but I was contacted by the seller 10 days later asking if I wanted it as the original winning bid didn't complete the purchase.

Glad I did as it turned out to be a rather simple fix of a blown fuse in the plug , so I now have two of the 18S which perfectly complement the LYD48’s.

You clearly have much better eyesight than me - I have to sit WAY closer to the screen than that!

I think the perspective of the photo makes it look further away lol. It’s actually a 32” screen so fairly big.
My eye sight is good, but certainly not telescopic haha

Nice set up. How are you liking the Sonik's? I have Spector 2s in my desktop system currently (which I love) but the Sonik 1 is on my potential upgrade list.

I reckon they’re pretty amazing (subjectively), but I’ve upgraded from a fairly old pair of smaller speakers, and my experience of other loud speakers is limited lol. So take my word with a pinch of salt.
That being said, if you like Dali I’d say it’s a safe bet they’d be an upgrade for you.
