PC got Creative X-Fi elite pro., new Sennheiser 3D Dolby audio dongles and such, PS3, 40" LCD with zoned LED backlight TV.
Cable Inventory
I'm a purist with stock cables or at least I like to use the stock cables on headphones. I'm specialist in digital stuff so I know what matters and whats snake oil - I know a few industry experts and generally follow common sense with only quality cables and connectors, good shielding and such as spec'ed. A balanced fan - the closest you come controlling analog lines.
Power-Related Components
Headroom's DPS with my Ultra Balanced system. Thats about it except really good PSU's for the gaming rig.
Other Audio Equipment
As of start of 2013 I just got a Cambridge Audio Topaz AM10 amp with a pair of DALI concept 1 speakers sourced via the speaker pre-out on the HeadRoom BUDA so that's pretty good for my office.
Audio-Related Tweaks
I spent a few hundred € on modding my gamer rig lowering the noise types and levels. Made it to very near the lowest you can with out sacrificing performance or using liquid cooling systems. Not easy in my case as my i7 920 + Nvidia 580 system creating quite some heat due to its high-performance. Best feature was removing all HD noise by getting all my games and music on one silent 1 TB drive suspended in a special setup. Currently this is a new setup (mobo/ram/colors/CPU/GPU/case) with a neat Antec 183 case and 120 mm fans from nexus etc.
Music Preferences
Fullrange / very wide
All files and reference stuff are FLAC or other lossless usually - still got a huge mp3 collection of pop/rock etc.
Might have some LP's might sell these donno yet

Gamer related products like my large inventory of MX and G5/G500 series of Logitech mice, Steelseries keyboard and mousepad, LCD monitors, several laptops, a large expensive gamer rig and a PS3 to dampen the noise from the better half and visiting kids in the living room.
