What do you listen to music with?

I have an old NAD 314 amplifier (2x35W @ 8ohms) and a pair of Dali 6006 floorstanding speakers. My CD player is a Philips CDR765, same as I use for mastering my music. I'm thinking about getting a surround receiver, but I need to find a good one.

I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD280Pro headphones.

Hi tek,

Well my main stero system is all Pionner, CD Player is a PD-M423 6 disk player, Tunner/amplifier is a SX-253R, Cassette Player is an old CT-F650, Two STV-720 Fisher Speakers (floor standing). An old Fisher SC-300 boom box, ( tape player is broken) Magnavox AJ3930 CD player clock radio. Teac PowerMax 160/2 powered speakers connected too my PC. I also have an old Teac CX-350 Stereo Cassette Deck. Plus my DJ system. Though that is not used a lot.


Some day I would like a digital surrond sound system. Sort of a Home theater system complete with CD Player.

Dream system would be a BOSE system. SIGH! Too expensive thoguh.

Well,
I've got a nice setup in my living room. Couple of yamaha units (CD player and an amplifier with the radio) and Techniks record player - all gouig through a pair of big speakers (don't know the brand and I'm too lazy to go look).
I also have a small "Sharp" boombox in my bedroom.
I barely use any of that stuff though.

Being a PRO I have professional speakers all over my place. The ones I really like are self-powered "Tannoy" system 600s.
So I tend to run everything through them. I also noticed that I use my computers more then my Hi-fi - just click on a mouse a few times and listen to whatever I want, without having to change CDs or rewind ****ing tapes.

I still use the record player though, There's something about the sound of the vinyl record...It just sounds warmer then a bunch of numbers or hissing tapes.

I also have a NAD - the 2200 and very heavily modified. This will put out around 600W/channel feeding a pair of homebrew speakers. Other units, all dating from the 80s and also heavily modified, include a Sony STR-V55 receiver used as a preamp, Sony TC-K81 cassette deck, Sony SL-2700 beta VCR mostly used as an audio recorder, Sony CDP-302 CD player, Dual CS 741 turntable and a NEC VHS VCR. I use the computer for playing DVDs. If Mr. Sony ever looked inside my gear he would cut me out of his will and totally disown me.

I've had a few systems I was tinkering with last year but sold them all and bought a used Yamaha Pro series. I bought some New JBL post prod speaks that have exceptionally smooth response.I added someold but always space age looking Heil high frequency transformers on top of the JBL enclosures. The sound is good but the room has way too much reflectivity from hard surfaces resulting in a pretty bad case of shimmering from roughly 7K to 10K. A drumkit nightmare guaranteed

I have an old canableized Pilot (never head of them before.. anyone else?) that I got for $50. Has tons of filters and all kinds of knobs and lights... Then I have a JVC 5 disc player.... works great, sounds great. I'm going to be getting some Alesis near field bi amped studio monitors to hook up to the mixer for mixdowns and such.

Well, there's a loose component system from Sony in the living room with woofer and satelites from Jamo.
Besides my kids and with birthday parties never use it untill last week.
I stole the amp from the living room as I am recording old vynyl to my harddisks and there was no single device in the house anymore which had a phono input

Mostly if I listen to music it's coming from my home networkserver played over my mixer and home studio system.

Finally up graded to a suitable listening / mastering set-up
Mac (350mhz G3-soon to be replaced by a G5)
dbx 215 graphic EQ (15 slides 2 chanel)
Alesis 3630 compressor (RMS peak dual channel compressor limiter with gate for mastering)
Behringer Eurorack MX 2004A (20 channel mic / line mixer)
Alesis M1 active Mk2 studio monitors (2)

That should sooth the savage beast for a while.

Hi kaboombahchuck !
I see that you're into mastering and know your stuff.

What do you use for stereo enhancements/ improved stereo imaging?

Hey! Get back on topic. Or else.

You also listen and show compassion and all that crap...
Just like a family, right?
