Brown. I like the small bit of feedback they give when the keys are depressed about halfway down.
Yes, the bumpity type.
It is fun there are so many options.
Post your system photo and the thread is back on track.
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…
Looks like you could hijack the new space telescope from your chair and point it wherever you want.
Nice set up.
That’s awesome!
I’ll second the awesomeness!
that keyboard is way cool!
Where do you live. I’ll be over at a moments notice for some sampling !!!

It’s gonna be a hike!
I live in the home of Kim Cattrall, Pamela Anderson, Brett McLean, Sue Medley, Barry Pepper… does that help you?
East coast of Vancouver Island
We are world renowned for our Pamela, Pot and Magic Mushrooms - none of which I ever sampled…
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.
I think its a semi universal problem that comes along with age.
Yeah, probably so. I also get tired a lot sooner than I used to. Blah… LOL
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.
O.K., you two. Let’s change the subject.
