Lining the walls of their attic listening room? I need that picture for self defense reasons.

Thanks

    Not my collection, but I like it none the less. Maybe one day when the wife and kids go to the in-laws for the weekend I'll try and arrange mine.10bmk2pa8q3v.jpg

    Swap out the M11s and M12s for RTA 11t and RTA 12b, an insert CRS SDAs, then multiply the 5s 7s and 10s by at least 3. That's where I stand at the moment.

    (Not bragging, just stating fact).

    well -- that's an interesting question!
    I have my much beloved Yamaha HP-2 Orthodynamic headphones from Soundscape, purchased new in 1977. The headband is disintegrating but they sound fine.
    I have a pair of cheap but good sounding Sennheisers (HD-498, if memory serves).
    I have a pair of Koss PRO4AAA.
    I have a pair of some Polk noise-cancelling things I bought for half-off on a Friends & Family sale a coupla years back.
    I have numerous small, cheap headphones (mostly Sony) for Walkman/Discman kinda things.
    There are probably others I've forgotten (or am actively suppressing).

    I have no good headphones.

    I never listen to headphones, though. :/

    PS Note that I have never shown y'all a photo of the basement of this house...

    To quote the Genie from the Disney movie Aladdin
    Not a pretty picture.

    By the way, y'all may feel free to use me as Mr. Bad Example any time you need to convince someone (e.g., a S.O.) that -- it could be worse.

    There also appears to be an attic access in that room. Good to have room for growth.
