As I noted, products with a cult-like following can also be very good as products. These characteristics are not mutually exclusive.
I admit amusement with your response however; mention Harbeth, even non-critically, and the cultists instantly respond. 
I used many of those keyboards. The loud clicking drove me to distraction. Developers loved them; rocked out their coding! I hated them, I was a BA. They disturbed my bliss.
My weapon of choice is a Das Keyboard 4 Professional. It has Cherry MX key switches. It’s nice and loud!
Highly recommended. There’s no reason to only geek on HiFi!!!
I think I followed that with a Linx Nebula. these all ran very hot, the MF especially.
Stick a “solar panel” along the top of that keyboard (like the one on my logitech KB) and that looks like it would be the perfect keyboard.
Pretty cool.
Pretty modest system by most standards. PS Audio DirectStream, stripped down and audio enhanced Intel NUC based using JRiver powered by LPS and using Fidelizer audio optimizer, external SSD dock powered by LPS, Matrix X-SPDIF 2 powered by LPS, PS Audio Stellar S300 amp, Eastern Electric MiniMax tube pre Tom Tutay modded, Furman Elite 15-PFI, REL sub, Gabriel Gold IC’s, Furutech power cords, iFi USB, soon to be AQ Vodka i2s and Martin Logan Electromotion ESL’s.
That’s a nice idea, a pretty good definition of “high fidelity”, but of no practical value.
Take an IsoAcoustic puck. A very popular, award-winning audiophile product. It is also sold as as a professional studio component. But it is not even in the signal path.
I’m not convinced there is such as an audiophile component. There are audiophiles and they may buy certain things, but it doesn’t mean anyone else can’t buy them.
Pretty outstanding looking. Have an equally great mouse recommendation?
You are saying exactly the same thing as Steven.
There are audiophile’s who (have to) accept compromises due to budget, space and interior design committees who also happen to be the CFO’s of the budgets (spouses) and those who have more freedom to spend whatever they like.
All these people have the same common goal as you pointed out correctly. You may classify those who don’t (need to) make compromises true audiophiles for all I care.
But, what is the point of your pissing contest? Upset other forum members?
You like to refer to Paul Mc Gowans (video) podcasts. If you listened all of them you’d know that in their living room at home they have or used to have the Sprout 100 integrated, KEF LS50 speakers and a turntable of equal budget. Off course Paul goes to work which he dedicated to perfectionize sound quality, but yet within his much larger but equally limited budget. Nevertheless, he welcomes anybody irrespective of their budget or preferences to this audiophile forum.
Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse.
Not only are there compromises, mostly unknown, and not common to all listeners, but who is the judge of faithfully ‘re-created" sound?
Me thinks something stinks in Denmark.

Hamlet, with some literary freedom!
Got that ergonomic mouse for my home office, it got rid of pain in my hand, wrist and lower arm. Cool thing is, it can switch between multiple computers, so I only need one set of keyboard and mouse to operate my private and work computer (provided you have the MX keyboard). Cleaner desk.
The last mouse you’ll ever buy. (if you’re the trackball type) Ten customizable buttons - I use Left click, right click, scroll, auto scroll zoom in, zoom out, page up, page down, home, end and forward & back. With a bit of practice, navigation is speedy and slick. More accurate than a mouse (index & 2nd finger on the ball) and when you use 3 or 4 monitors, you’re not picking up & repositioning the mouse. A multi button trackball is a must for things like audio editing (Adobe Audition). Takes about a week to fully master a trackball, but I’ll bet you’ll never go back to a mouse again.
Nice looking well thought out and clean system. I’ll bet it sounds great!
This is what I switched to several years ago.
My hands became too worn out to be able to use a mouse for more than a few minutes without causing immense pain. I have worn a few of these out but they dont take any room and work well for general daily work as well as CAD / CAM input.
That one looks interesting. I will have to try one out.
This is the “System Photos” forum. Please stay on topic.
Yes, but which ones? I prefer the red for their smooth linear feel and light response.
