This summer my wife and I saw our 24 year old autistic son transition into an adult residential group home where I'm very happy to say he is thriving. He is making new friends and getting out into the community, things he refused to do while living at home. We are so pleased to be able to see his progress. I have been working on kind of a project this past month. I am converting my son's tiny bedroom into my tiny music room/office and it's been a pretty big undertaking. I've had to rebuild the walls and paint them. I had to buy new curtains and clean a carpet. I put up a ceiling fan and built a table for my headphones. I hauled my six foot desk into the room from the living room and purchased a new desk chair and soon I will finally get my desktop audio system wired up. I have to mount a TV on the wall yet, get some crap out of the room, get it vacuumed. Oh, and I have a partial power outage. LOL My wife and I live in a rental and of course the landlord has been out of town. Still, we're getting close and I'm pretty stoked. I thought maybe I'd show a shot of my new room. There are a few headphones currently not shown as the Mark Levinson 5909 and Meze 109 Pro are on my desk and there are a couple more that I need stands for.

@MrChiSox Congratulations on your sons transition into group home... how is it going? Funny - my brother (low functioning autisim/28 yo M) is making the similar transition to a group home in the coming months. He loves to use my listening setup to listen to HIFI nature sounds especially binaural recordings. I'm thinking I must give him a setup there and teach his aids how to use. What is your favorite combo in your setup?

Moth1191Thank-you. My son is doing very well in his new home. We speak back and forth every day via Skype. My son is pretty high fuctioning but would much rather play video games like Wheel Of Fortune and the like. He isn't big on music or noise which is why I have kind of transitioned over to headphones and the desktop system, something which continues to be a work in progress. I recently purchased a new Stack by Earmen and I still have the rest of my older gear but am working to get it all connected. In the end it's going to be the new stack along with my Woo Audio WA6 tube amplifier also in the loop. The best headphones I own are the Audeze LCD-X and LCD-2 except that the damn pads keep falling off and I'm on the verge of either selling them or doing something more permanent. They attach using double sided tape for god sake and it's crazy. After that I love the Meze 109 Pro, DCA AEON Open X and the Sennheiser 600 series, my favorite being the 660S2. The ELEX are great as well though down the road I may have to pick up a pair of the Clear as they have come way down in price. My listening room has been a work in progress for some time due to other matters taking priority but I'm getting there. It's a lot for me to deal with. Here's a bit of a messy update. I am currently working on old school like wood side panels for the Earmen stack, they will be reddish like the shelves of my audio rack. Again, forgive the mess.

Thanks for sharing photo of your room. Love the setup. I plan to show my husband who believes I have too many headphone sets

Vikkids26Many folks have far more than I do, some much more expensive too. Thank-you for your kind words!
