An adequate level of overkill.

Well, if the alarm clock in the small watch radio doesn't wake you up ...

No, because your speakers look like they would any moment open with a long squeak, only to reveal dark violett lining and a bunch of those flapping around.

This would be the soundtrack:

Music by Molchat Doma, a belarussian darkwave band, they probably are working their ass off in some gulag or collective potatoe farm now, i hear dictators don't like goth types.

Cheapo RCA switcher, Aiyima A07, 1980s Sequerra Met-7s. Cleannnnnn! MOTU ultralite mk5 into input one as DAC, 90s Rotel receiver into input two as preamp, with turntable, cd and tape players plugged into that. This setup prioritizes the clean signal from the dac, and the older hifi equipment is kind of quarantined with the Rotel lol. It’s janky but it sounds fantastic.

I don't understand the significance of the four dead people under the black blanket in the foreground.
Are they part of your room equalization?

ADD: That boobie painting looks more to be an Erte (art-deco) re-creation, though tasteful.

after a few of you expressed a intrest in just what each of us wasted our money on I though I would make a thread.

Post your current setups, stuff you used to have. Anything really but you must of owned it...( or made it)

Kii 3 and Kii Control
PC and Amazon Music Unlimited
Voiceemeter and Cantabile for VST plugins for modifying PC audio before the USB link to the Kii control (Sonarworks for a slight smoothing and Ozone Elements PEQ to help with a couple of room resonances, HOFA Dynamic Tilt for tilting the frequency response up or down depending on recording characteristics and personal preferences, and others for non-critical listening like compression, pink noise)

Stunning! YMMV.

Does the wicker platform actually accentuate the even-harmonics and provide heat warmth?

First place to start in the average room, be it fluffy sofas or something entirely more complicated.
