Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro with custom Dvorak keycaps
Mouse: Logitech g502
Audio System:
DAC, Preamp, and headphone amp: Schiit Jotunheim
Power Amps: Schiit Gjallarhorns (2 running as monoblocks)
Speakers: Tekton Design Dynamite Monitor
Speaker Stands: The amazon special
Headphones: Focal Elex
Cables: Hart audio
As it is pretty clear the audio system is the priority of the system. This system has been in the works for about a year. I just got the speaker stands this week and it is finally at a place where I will keep it for the foreseeable future, or until I decide to be financially irresponsable and buy Aspen FR5s. These speakers are different from the standard Dynamite Monitor as the tweeter array is on the top instead of in the center. When I placed the order with Tekton about a year ago I told Eric (the designer of these speakers) on the phone that I was using them for nearfield listening and he recommended this setup. The color is Enchanted Wells by Bher. Also, for those of you in the know I modded the feet so there are bolts in the mounting holes for the feet. I did not like the height of the standard Tekton feet. The mounting holes are plugged and there are felt feet under the speaker so hopefully I won’t get sued ;). Another modification I made was painting the knob on the Jotunheim. The knob comes standard in grey. I thought it was an eyescore so I painted it black. I also went to home depot and purchased a sample size container of paint in the exact color of the speakers and painted the volume indicator on the knob the same color as the speakers. All the cables are from Hart audio and the closest color match that I could get.
I am not a fan of the tempered glass/rgb aesthetic on the pc. It is a black box that I keep on the floor.
