Well,mine has changed siginificantly since I last posted in this thread.
Plus the pics for that post went AWOL after the last forum update.
So I guess I need to pass along the current lay-of-the-land as they say,LOL.
First the pics: (wide shot)
Closer pic:
Now the 'puter itself:
Note that the Canton GL-260 speakers were painted OD green to match the Corsair C70 computer case:
Rig rundown:
Source is my desktop PC via the SB Zx optical out going thru a Monoprice powered optical splitter into a Parasound D/AC-1000.
From there the signal goes to a NAD 106 preamp that has a DOD 830 Ser. II EQ in the tape loop (not used much @ the moment).
From the NAD 106 preamp the signal is sent via XLR outputs to a ElectroVoice 7100 power amp (1ru dual mono design).
Speakers are Canton GL-260 that are supported by a Canton AS85-SC subwoofer that bolsters the sub bass response very nicely.
Headphones are AKG K240DF (high-impedance) & Sony MDR-7506 (low impedance),headphone hangers are Brainwavz hengja.
XLR & RCA cables are all Mogami,the optical cables are from Emotiva.
Power is supplied by a Middle Atlantic PD-915-R power center.
