System Photos!

Brown. I like the small bit of feedback they give when the keys are depressed about halfway down.

It is on topic. For the most part.

I use the cordless trackball in my soundroom, to control everything from JRiver, concert videos on my NAS, Cocktail Audio Streamer control, forum reading & posting whilst listening… from my PC (in another room to avoid fan noise). I also use Hot Corners (free PC program) - when I roll the mouse off the upper right corner it instantly blackens out my 65" curved monitor enabling a dark listening room. Moving the mouse again re-enables the screen. Slick.


Also for aiding the dark soundroom I’d recommend the Logitech MX Keys.
Very nice illumination which lights up when your hand approaches and fades out in a few seconds after you are finished typing. Illumination intensity adapts with room light or can be set. Not only is it quite purrdy, I find it perfect for a preferably blackened out soundroom. Up to three devices - one via wifi dongle and two Bluetooth. I use it to control my Cocktail Audio, my ipad and my PC from another room.

I usually don’t post pics as my ‘Room’ and my furniture are a rather ‘unfancy’ in my old, old dilapidated farmhouse - that I’ve lived in since 1971. But it is in the middle of 5 acres, I can crank it up without any neighborly repercussions.
It’s mine, and it sounds spectacular. There’s a Seinfeld episode in there somewhere… :laughing:

Looks like you could hijack the new space telescope from your chair and point it wherever you want.

Nice set up.

As an F1 fan I think you should chuck that bottle on the left of the cabinet (BTW, I have posted system photos in the past so I reckon I have some off topic browny points to use).

I see you are at the bottom of the bottle of that Peat Monster. Compass Box is some of the best whiskys I have had lately.

Cheers,

You seem to favour Islay whiskies. Good man!

I moved some of my gear further down the side wall, as in all the way to the back of the wall. The dust hasn’t settled yet and the speakers/subs may end up moving some more (maybe moving the subs inboard to see how that deals with room modes and such). Now that the front of the room is a lot more symmetrical, there’s a definite improvement in stage width and imaging which I knew would happen. It’s just that when we moved in, I just kind of threw things in the room and went with it for a while.

However, now that the front of the room is sorted so to speak, there’s a lot more flexibility in playing with speaker/sub placement to get things really dialed in. Not to mention that this also prepares the room better for some room acoustic treatments a little later down the road.

I have to say, SVS has come a long, long, LONG way in the musicality department since the days of my old PB12-ISD/2 and PB12-Plus/2 subs. They were great for movies, but for music?.. Forget it. Slow, sluggish, heavy sounding with music. Definitely not so with these new PB-1000 Pro’s. Tight, agile, crisp!

Anywho, on with a few pics. And yes, that one of the audio rack and timer, that’s 4:50am! Sucks when you can’t sleep half the time.

As I get older, I now go to sleep at the time that I used to go out at night when I was much younger.
