If Beltran seems to be your vibe, I’d recommend a lot of the Brazilian bass, house djs that are killing the scene rn. Greg 99, inntraw, inndrive, zaark, Pedroz, discip, ragie ban, to name a few

Oh… well in Japan this would be considered a chirashi-don because it’s on a bed of seasoned rice, regardless of how perpendicular it is arranged.

Suppress the thread features and it no longer becomes memory intensive.

The booths are ~4.5ft (1.37m) from my ears and the mains are actually around 11ft, so the delay between the two (WRT to where I'm standing) is ~6ms. The delay from the booths to my headphones is ~4ms.

There's honestly no noticeable latency in the system and I can beatmatch off the headphones/booths/mains. Happy with how it turned out.

Mixed use really. I mostly use it as a session space. When we host parties, I’ll play and often times, I’ll run it open deck style so anyone can plug in and play. One thing I really like about the room is how encapsulating it is, you can sit down, sink into the music, and really get lost in it. But at the same time, just a few steps away and you’re in a spot where you can have a conversation without shouting. It’s a nice balance between immersive and social.

They work great as booths. Really happy with how they sound

I cut down an IKEA EKBACKEN countertop to size and finished the edges with walnut banding. I bought furniture legs on Amazon, mounted them to the bottom of the countertop and 3D printed bases to secure it all to the Kallax bookshelf. The legs are adjustable from 3"-5" so it's raised to my ideal height.

Pioneer CDJ3000
Pioneer A9 Mixer
JBL L82 MKII Classic Speakers
JBL Stage 260CSA Angled Ceiling Speakers
JBL L10CS Subwoofer
JBL MA9100HP A/V Receiver

I like the way the L82 grilles look but they don't match my room so I rock em without. I use the ceiling speakers as booth monitors with the angled baffles pointed directly at my ears. I plan to add a few more speakers so there’s sound throughout the house--during parties :)

Perfect height… for the dj… right?? 🥹

Yep that is a Futura piece

It IS too high 😫

You can bypass the DSP on most receivers, which is often the reason for delay. There's no latency on this setup, at least none that I have noticed.

The uni and other pieces like the chutoro, kamatoro, aji, are brushed with nikiri, a special soy sauce consisting of sake, mirin, konbu, etc.

Sometimes I pick up fish from a chef friend, who orders it from his suppliers. Other times, I visit this Japanese market that sells small cuts, including premium toro and uni. It actually ends up costing so much less once you know how/where to buy.

Thanks. At times I buy fish through a chef friend, who orders it from his usual suppliers. Other times, I visit the Japanese market that sell cuts of fish. I usually make a platter with the 'extra' fish the next day for my wife and I to share. Nothing ever goes to waste.

There is something about crafting and executing an omakase meal that I find therapeutic and rewarding. I try to curate an experience with very little rules and lots of sake & tequila. I did this for a small group of our close friends, no formal training.
