We went to get a high-powered computer for Ivana and found that pretty much all options were 3-6 weeks--past the date she was leaving to go home for a while.
I just decommissioned a Mac Pro Ivana's welcome to. One of the old cheesegrater ones, ca 2009?

Bought the Schiit facemask, total cost about $25, says "Schiit Happens" on the front.
Not that great of a mask, un comfortable, easy slides off the nose or slides up the chin.
Just not worth it.
But just to be fair, I really like using the Schiit Fulla 3 (It's for using with computer not at my residence).

I've been spending more time than usual with my headphones in my bed room system. It's Gungnir's fault. I've been having fun leaning how the G-DS sounds. I've decided it's not my favorite for bands like:
  • Parliament
  • Rush
  • Pink Floyd
  • Isley Brothers
However, it sounds really good for music from:
  • Mark Knopfler
  • Joe Satriani sounds pretty good
  • Most classical, especially the bit of chamber music I have
  • Small-group acoustic jazz
Overall, Gungnir DS is smooth and musical. Good detail retrieval without being clinical or dry.
In @Baldr's thread he mentioned making different analog boards for different genres (acoustic, real world music for me).
Looks like you might be a prime candidate for the board Dave prefers.

The Schiit mask is about average for what you see on the reusable mask market. If you want good protection, I suggest this mask:

https://www.amazon.com/3M-Particulate-Respirator-8210-Pack/dp/B008MCUZZS

It is not medical grade but that is mostly a legal issue. Under no circumstances should you use a mask with a plastic exhalation valve on it. They are industrial masks only.

Is will.i.am's $300 mask any good?

I am not sure what the two silver disks on the front are. If they are exhalation valves then it is Craap
The two disks are forced air HEPA filters and yes, this mask is crap. More a high-tech set of headphones than anything else. Scroll down to the disclaimers near the bottom of their specs page: https://xupermask.com/specs/
