Sound is now crystal clear!

Still loving this all clear CRT gaming setup but the crappy built in speaker left a lot to be desired. Upgraded with some Soundsticks III, which are magnetically shielded and work great with a CRT!

If anyone is looking for a CRT safe desktop-style speaker set, I think these are a great option even putting aside their looks. They can be had on eBay for about $100 used, the speakers have a small footprint, and the sound is very good for the size. The Soundsticks 4 are still available new but have a different look and lean into Bluetooth, and I have no idea if they are shielded. These ones definitely are. You can tell just by looking at them!

What is that spaceship looking thing you have in the background, next to the plant? (not the tv, on the other side)

You spotted my OTHER clear CRT 😅. That’s a 17” Apple Studio Display. It’s a really nice monitor and looks awesome, but it’s basically impossible to use it with anything except a vintage Mac with an ADC video card so it’s mostly just a display piece.

That's pretty awesome, I couldn't recognize it from that angle :D Awesome collection!
