Erik's setup + collection (Major update: 1/15/12)

T1 Teslas! Very nice. I've got a pair of DT770's (Darth Mod) What do you have in the way of source components? Any other cans?

I use my laptop with a 99% lossless library.

lossless + foobar > Musical Fidelity M1 DAC A > SPL Auditor headphone amp > Beyerdynamic T1



I bet those DT770s are great. I've never tried them. I much prefer the bigger sound qualities of open headphones. The only others I have are a few pairs of Etymotic headphones for when I am on the bus/train or recording drums.

Previous open headphones owned include Sennheiser HD650, Beyerdynamic DT990 (didn't like them much at all), and AKG Q701 (my favorite of those three).

What do you have for source components?

New toy obtained. 19" CRT monitor. Flat screen. 1600 x 1200 resolution. Perfect for tippin' sideways. Only 50 pounds so it's easy to change back when I'm playing a hori or non shmup. This will be mainly used with MAME, J360, and Dreamcast.

My 360 VGA cable just came in today. Still waiting on the proper adapter to hook up the audio for it. Shmups look and feel so much better on here. My 47" LCD looks great for HD games, but the CRT looks far better for shmups and older games. Plus playing verts on a widescreen TV that isn't in tate looks pretty stupid anyway. The picture is only about 1/3 or less of the screen... D:

So satisfied with this.

Thats looking pretty sweet. i need to get myself an extra monitor so that I can properly play mushihimesama, or shikigami 3.

A nice CRT in tate is great. I honestly gave up on the idea pretty quickly, but I would like to go back to it someday with a larger CRT.

Here are my new QanBa Q4 RAF sticks. I really could not ask for more besides actual arcade cabs.

I need to take pictures of my headphone rig soon. And yes, I do sometimes use it for gaming.
