I done figured that out myself with my newly-acquired kana skills

[wasp_f15ting]

Indeed!

I am not sure if its just me, but this quarantine has me planning what to put in my rooms after lock down..



This is the back bit of the chair I posted earlier.. I need to get some floating bookshelves maybe ...

[Dewt]

Looks great! But please prop up your vinyl it's bending

[wasp_f15ting]

This was when I first moved in.

It has been arranged properly since then :)

Cant wait to do a bit of crate digging after this mess is over

[bgmnts]

Am I the only on here who lives in an actual tiny, messy shithole?

Quite surprised.

[wasp_f15ting]

The poang is excellent - thanks to this thread :)

Do you guys have a foot stool for yours? Not sure whether that's helpful or not!

[Abnormal Palm]

I got a footstool with mine and literally stamped through it in a frenzy trying to get S++ Rank on Ikaruga, which I did get.

I am glad that worked out well!

I think the only time I nearly broke my controller was when I was on the Blood Starved Beast on BloodBorne..
So.. much rage

He didn't.

In the left corner of my lounge is the plinth for a turntable I should be painting, and in the right a load of records that should be sorted.

[wasp_f15ting]

Without copying your whole set up.. please tell me that side table with your coffee and laptop wasnt some thrift store find, and is widely available? looks perfect for putting my walkman on!

[Cerys]

Found you these.

[QDRPHNC]

It's an Indian-style nesting table, they come in all different heights and surfaces.

The ones Cerys linked too are very expensive though, because of the wood tops. Mine is a glossy metal, got it at Homesense - don't know if you have it over there, it's the furniture version of TK / TJ Maxx. Owned by the same company. 

[Cerys]

Well, bugger - the first I found were metal, but I was convinced yours was wood.

[QDRPHNC]

I have a wood one in another room. Perhaps you meant that one?

Nah, this one is a weird corrugated brass type metal with a layer of... Glossy acrylic? Or something, over the top of it.

[Jittlebags]

This is mine. Our outhouse shed. It's been a bit chilly at times, but we've got a lean-to greenouse outside the window, and that's now pumping heat in.

[QDRPHNC]

I'd love a private shed for all my bits.

[The Bumlord]

I'm currently (well, not at this very moment) working from my living room, using the far too low table as a desk while sitting on the sofa, hunched forward, giving myself unbelievable back ache.

I do have a desk in the corner of the room but it's covered in old receipts, packaging, bits of electronics etc.

I could tidy it but I saw a false widow wandering into said rubbish about six months ago and I've been too scared to touch it ever since.

Help.

Double CRTs, sweet.

That is my life goal

Gotta get out of apartment life

[wasp_f15ting]

Thanks for the inspiration QD, I created a reading zone in the bedroom finally.. I ended up adding a wireless speaker to add some background tunes for the daytime :)

[imitationleather]

Your places are nice. I really should sort out my dank pit at some point.

[wasp_f15ting]

There is something about consuming Japanese Media that makes me want to clean up..

I was watching my guilty pleasure (Terrace House) on Netflix and I have been obsessed with keeping every room super neat.

[imitationleather]

We're going to move to a bigger place once estate agencies are back at work. My days of having to work from my bedroom will finally be over!

[QDRPHNC]

Nice stuff, wasp! Love the little brass tray, I use something similar in the bedroom for keys and change and that. The black Poang cover looks great, puts me in the mood to get something more muted than the red.

Also, just noticed your monster of a Walkman. Worth the money over just listening to music on your phone? I'm in the market, want to listen to flac files and sick of the volume limit on my Pixel. The Fiio M7 has been tickling my fancy, but I really don't know much about DAPs:

[wasp_f15ting]

Yeah, I went a bit OTT with the DAP - the WM1Z is a beast weights about half a Kilo, however the sound output is phenomenal.

As long as the DAPs have a low noise floor and a decent output you'll be fine. What earphones do you have? I have some Campfire Audio Solaris, and they pick up noise from most players, so that's why I went for the WM1Z.. also they match colour wise :


As for phone comparisons, my iPhone via a lighting dongle sounds like someone is shouting into a watering can for these earphones. So tend to not do any proper listening on my phone, though do use the air pod pros for listening to audible and podcasts.

Its tricky matching the right earphone to the DAP.

This guy does excellent reviews:

Cheers for the links.

I use AKG Y50s - which are around the price point I'm interested in. I want something better than my phone, but I'm not an audiophile either, so I was hoping the M7 would hit that sweet spot.
