Your Desktop Audio Setup?

[escape2]

Recent addition to my desktop setup: SVS SB2000.

Now I have to relocate my speaker amp and DAC - they dance too much when I crank things up.

Rauna Freja speakers (aka Swedish tombstones)
Dual Seas W26FX subs in sealed enclosures
Bryston 10b crossover

EX5 for pre-amp and Scarlett Solo3 for calibrating.
Genelec G3 + KC62, integrate to my room perfectly.

Also have a HD600, for getting high at mid-night.

-JDS labs OL DAC
-JDS labs atom amp
-Sundara 2020 revision (oratory1990 harman EQ used always)
-6XX (oratory1990 harman used below 100 hz for that sub bass goodness, prefer the rest of the spectrum completely stock for those juicy mids)
-speakers are Swan m200mkiii+ on isoacoustic stands

Just moved to a much bigger room which has brought with it both positives and negatives. Firstly, I can now fit my TV in my room more than adequately, however it also takes the prime central position where the desk would otherwise be. I noticed within the first 3 seconds that this corner position for my desk activates some nasty room modes in the speakers bass response. Will DSP using REW coupled with some bass traps perhaps ever come close to rectifying this, or should I just bite the bullet now and consider rearranging my room to make it fit better?

To avoid disturbing others and during video calls.

For folks who have headphones and speakers when do use headphones?

I use them 5-12 hours a day... for turning music loud and blocking out the environment.

For folks who have headphones and speakers when do use headphones?

I worked in talk radio for about 6 years. Wearing headphones 6-8 hours every day drove me nuts. I can't stand them anymore.

Only when I want to play louder than the environment can accept.

Yep. When we all went into home office in March 2020 I had to wear the headset for many hours. After 2 days I could not stand it any longer and revived my pro equipment (a Beyer Dynamic super cardioid mic feeding a Mackie mixing console, a RME ADI2 PRO and 2 Genelec 8020a). I got very good remarks for the excellent sound quality of my voice (sounds like a news speaker) and I use the EQ of the RME if someone is difficult to understand.

Worked as an Air Traffic Controller for 26 years wearing some type of headset or IEM. Really can't stand to wear anything anymore for more than 30-60 minutes.

For folks who have headphones and speakers when do use headphones?

I use headphones almost exclusively for playing games (especially FPS games where you need to hear opponents).

Less competitive games are on speakers.


If I'm listening to music, I'm using my speakers.
