Slowly making progress here, but not much has changed in the past week, other than the Isoacoustic stands, and the moving of the Tallneck (stole the idea off someone a couple of weeks ago, sorry dude) and Mikasa figure from downstairs. Anyway, this battlestation is functionally complete and operational.
My upgrade journey started several months ago, when I decided to get a 42 inch LG C4 as a monitor. It kinda overwhelmed my previous desk. At the same time, the speakers I've had since 2002/3, Cambridge soundworks dtt3500, started popping and crackling. Still they lasted a fair while. I decided to get into hifi again, upgraded audio setup is a Luxsin X9 headphone amp, using the pre outs to supply audio to a pair of Acoustic Energy. Gaming headphones are a pair of Beyerdynamic Amiron home, with a fitting for a wired modmic. I've also recently got a pair of DCA Noire XO, but I'm not sticking anything to them.
Desk is a standard pair of Alex drawers, and Karlby kitchen top. Added a Geekwood walnut riser, as I can't fix the C4 to the wall (in a rental), and I didn't want to use a desk mounted riser for it. So here we are. Loving the musicality I now have, and can even use the apps on the tv through the amp and speakers as well.
Still to do: Want to add another smaller monitor/s, will have to figure that out, a couple of cheap 24 inches held above the speakers maybe. Suggestions welcome. Also have to route and corral the mess of cables, so ideas welcome for that as well.
