Can you link to the bumper music you use in these videos?
cool outfit bro
Have you tried MusicBee? What do you think about MusicBee vs foobar2000?
When I was choosing a music player I came across FooBar200 too but I picked MusicBee. It’s great for organizing playlists and different music libraries, it also lets you make hotkeys which can be global and it has a lot of small features that make finding/playing music enjoyable.
I have foobar2000 installed but don’t use it, and seeing a professional using it makes me want to consider it as a main player. What else is good about foobar2000? Any ex-MusicBee users who switched?
Watching this on my MG248QR built-in speakers.
Yes, my ears do bleed on a consistent basis.
Cant consider any information from someone who uses and endorses Apple airpods. 100% lost your "audiophile" title. Then you dont even run a paid copy of Windows and keep the pc on a carpeted floor. Cmon man.
Nice! Would like just a tad more info on those lights though.
Dont know if you updated yet, but I definitely recommend the G613 Keyboard.
speakers 10 cm lower position
Please never pronouns bueno, like "boyno", ever again…
What do you use to record your audio? Sounds amaze
Airpods are the definition of non-audiophiles xD But I get it, they are convenient!
where do u download music from? flac format…
G305 is the best FPS mouse ever
what headphone stands are those?
It’s the time to update. 👌 It will be nice to see what was changed.
absolutely loved the intro and outro.
also can you review the FiiO FH5 IEMs?
Smaaal question here 😏 .. with your dac can you send a netflix / youtube or even game sound on your speakers just ? Or the dac is just build for high res audio booom that’s it 😏
is the pull-out portion of the desk removeable? it looks like yours does not have it.
This was great!
Only problem for me is my desk is tiny
🙁
"audiophile setup" uses center channels are speakers….i dont think you know what an audiophile is my friend
Your setup makes me depressed.
What was that magnetic microphone you put on your headphones?
i cannot believe this guy uses airpods they sound like ass
I use a pair of Dynaudio Xeo 2’s for my desktop setup. I love the sound but I really need to put them on stands like you have there.
Finally, a YouTuber that understands audio!
Josh is the American version of Hardware Canucks that talks about audio.
Is the monitor still good to buy now. No issues with it at all?
This cable behind left speaker screams to fix him
The sweater and cap are nessecary, if you are filming outside
Hey can you let me know the brand/style/link to your jacket?
Bi wire them kef speakers = better imaging/wider soundstage.
Need to do an update on this 😀
how can foobar switch your audio output? I wish there was a plugin for Spotify also
EXCELLENT CONTENT AS ALWAYS DELIVERED. AND FOR THIS EQUIPEMENT YOU NEED THE RIGHT MUSIC TO MAKE THIS SHINE SO ALL YOU MUSIC LOVERS OUT THERE COME PAY A VISIT TO OUR CHANNEL. HIGH QUALITY MUSIC CHOICES ONLY. GREAT SOUNDSCAPES FOR YOUR EXQUISITE TASTE.
Disappointed that the sweater isn’t in the links below 🙁
you should put your computer tower on a stand to elevate it off the carpet where its pulling in a lot of dust into the system
Great to see a video on a desk setup! I got back into hifi a couple years ago by putting together a desk system. I’m using Foobar2000 on my PC to access my music library on an UnRAID media server (includes all my physical CDs ripped to FLAC). The DAC is an old Go-Vibe, which I want to upgrade to something with DSD capability. The DAC feeds an Emotiva BasX A-100 amp which drives both speakers (Elac B6 Debut v1) and headphones (Hifiman HE400i, Sennheiser HD6xx). Not having a center imaging issue with my monitor even though the speakers are recessed, I think because I don’t toe the Elacs in very much. The center image locks right in! 2" sound reinforcement foam in the corners about a foot behind the Elacs, behind and above me really help tame the small room.
Anyone know what micropgone he using in 3:16 conecting to DT1990 ?
Can you please tell me how to hook my ASMSL SH-9 AMP TO MY COMPUTER THAT IS CURRENTLY HOOKED UP TO A LOGITECH Z-5500 i ALSO HAVE HIFIMAN HE 400i 2020 editions. I am a first time audiophile person. I would appreciate the help. My motherboard is the Asus Maximus XI Formula
What video camera are you using to film this crazy ass quality videos ?
I’m diggin yourstyle and editing and your real world approach.
Subscribed!
oof you still haven’t activated windows
I’ve just realised, I have the same Desktop wallpaper. Looks nice!
Shame there isn’t one shot in the whole video without YOU blocking an overall view of the desk
Hey nice setup, you should research acoustic panels and it will take your sound to the next level. I do like how you have the equilateral triangle but you really need to investigate this. I have heard really expensive setups(10k-20k speakers) in homes sound really horrible because they failed to understand that a room can really destroy sound with bouncing. The acoustic panels in my Home theater and also in my listening room were the last thing I did when it should have been the first because that is what really improved the sound.
I had everybody keep telling me, get some really good acoustic panels and ignored them for the longest time but when I finally listened everything improved especially imaging. That phantom center your looking for; will be there when you shut the room up. I used to tell myself the same thing if i pull the speakers away from the wall, it will be good enough. Nope.
Anyways good luck.
Coiled Headphone cable where ? PLs
Tweeter is not at ear height, looks too high to me.
I love these kind of videos, really well made too…
How do you switch between headphones and speakers? Program and or script?
