Just discovered this album. Some beautiful moments to be found in this well-recorded unique acoustic trio (guitar, violin, bass; and occasional vocal):

Here is a nice one a friend told me about today,
1974 I was ten, and never knew about this.
It sounds the time, and is a nice listen, newly remastered.

My favorite chair is this Eames knockoff from the 70’s my dad gave me. However it’s usually occupied.

I have a stealcase leap! I got a used one for like $250. Such a nice chair.
I've never tried the Leap, but have a Gesture at the "home office." In my two-plus decades of office work, it's hands-down the most comfortable chair I've ever used.
Two thumbs up! Er, buns down.

Well, at least your behind will stay warm after you sit down.
At least, once the scratches stop hurting.
(No, seriously, I’m an animal lover, but that is a VERY fluffy, warm-looking coat!)

What is everyone using for a listening chair? I'm heading out this weekend in hopes of picking up something comfortable for extended (4+ hour) sessions.
I've been reading about Ekornes and Herman Miller chairs ($$$), but I'm wondering if there's anything out there that's currently flying under the radar that i should be on the lookout for.
Sorry to answer “Ekornes Stressless”, but I bought their Wing model about a year and a half ago and LOVE it. I tried a few other Stressless models in the store, and this was by far the most comfortable one for me. Oddly enough, the large size fit my back and neck best (I’m 5’6”/165 cm, but have a long torso)…
Expensive? Yes. Will I have it until I go to the big headphone demo room in the sky? Absolutely.

It's not really an answer to your question, but it urged me to share my current chair. It's a faux leather chair I bought some 8 years ago (about $300 or so if I recall) that has since been discontinued. It is so comfortable, I've resisted replacing it. It has since developed cracks left and right. My wife used to urge me to replace it, but has given up.. It has become my Archie Bunker chair. The tears conform so well my butt, which makes me value function over form at the moment That said, I suspect I will have to find a replacement sometime in the near future, so I'm keen to see the replies to this question as well..
This chair was the inspiration for the Susvara Unveiled Leatherette.

I use a Herman Miller Eames "Homage" chair from Sonne for speaker/headphone listening. It is a fraction of the price, amazing quality, and the closest I have found to an actual Eames.
For headphone listening at my desk, I have a real Herman Miller Aeron chair since I use it for work as well.

Are those speakers Usher Mini Dancers?

He’s the sweetest Maine Coon. My son does almost sit on him and he just lets him do it.
Also, yes, the view of Downtown San Diego. We have since moved to another unit in the condo and now have a view of Balboa Park.
