Achievement #60

Totally missed these.

My 59th achievement.

Oli kyllä komeaa katseltavaa, vaikka puhelimen kameralla kaukoputken okulaarista otettu kuva ei olekaan paras mahdollinen.

We're redecorating, meaning that (naturally) the space available for my workstation was / will be cut approximately in half. So, I had to update / "downshift" some of the gear. The current setup is on a triangular table against a corner.

My previous setup

Updated gear:

• Topping D10 DAC
• Nobsound VOL-3 passive preamp / attenuator
• Genelec G One active speakers (will probably be wall-mounted in the future)
• (The previous DAC, SoundBlaster X-Fi Go Pro!, is now dedicated to my Sennheiser headphones)

Nobsound was bought new from Amazon, Topping and Genelecs second-hand. The corner table was second-hand as well.

The Genelecs pack a massive punch for being so compact. The Topping DAC pushes 2 Vrms to RCA outs, and I rarely have to turn the volume knob on the Nobsound attenuator past 10 o'clock for comfortable listening.

Achievement #58

It's important for me that I have a functional workstation with good sound at our country residence. Laptop into the dock and that's it.

For sound I have:

• Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Go! Pro USB DAC
• Muse Audio M21 EX2 Amp (Tripath TA2021b)
• Amphion Ion speakers (Yes, those are bricks under the stands to get them to the correct height! And that piece of foam from an old mattress functions as a diffuser.)
