System Pics 2020

I find that they do two jobs very well:
1/ keep my toes warm
2/ dampen any sibilant high frequency tones in the room. I’m not going to get room treatment past the interior decorating police, but can achieve 73% of the same effect with these socks*

They’re Icebreaker, a New Zealand merino wool fashion company. More importantly, they’ve got a lifetime warranty on socks - if they tear or you get a hole in them, they’ll give you a new pair. Given the cost of the socks in the first place I think they’re still winning, but it was an appreciated gesture.

*I can’t back this up. But my toes are still warm

Well, if the socks have any acoustic effect they must be messing up the soundstage badly seeing as left is placed to the right and vice versa … :crazy_face:

I did the sock pic a few years ago on the system pics thread and a few took the right Micky out of me, including @anon4489532.
Seems to be the done thing now! :thinking::rofl:

Interesting, it was in 2013 that mine caused controversy and I was challenged. Can’t have been for my choice of socks either :rofl:

My current system has changed from this obviously.

Finally its “Socks Pics 2020” here ? :grinning:

Inevitably followed by a cry for ‘more pics’, intended as ‘less text’.

Never understood that. When I lived in Singapore for 3 years back in 1959-1961, most of the people I knew wore socks with shorts. The adult men wore long socks with shorts. And those that smoked pipes stuck them in the (white) socks, which left a horrible yellow stain at the mouthpiece. But apart from that, I can’t see why it is so wrong.

Taking it up a notch guys, adding slippers to the mix! :joy:
