A while back, I posted a thread asking about members headphones.

But now I am wondering as to what members general music set ups are? Doesn’t matter how cheap or expensive. I genuinely am curious.

mine:

U-Turn Orbit turntable w/ Grado Black cartridge

Hiby R6 Pro Digital audio player

Denon AH-D7200 headphones

Yamaha WXC 50 pre-amp

Personally i prefer headsets. Not into much music.

Mostly listen to radio traffic - for that Bose/Senheiser works really well; I mod the bandwidth circuit as well.

My friend is an audiophile; he is very much into tubes amps. says they are best.

i buy broken earphones and recable them i got senheiser, a fake sony, and Philips earphones for 2.50 gbp. sony broke completely it was glued to hard the shells so i pulled and speaker broke. but philips fixed and senheisers fixed. i also sony premium noise canceling earphones on repair but i need to find diagram for wiring. i got this for 5 pounds as faulty. To buy in working condition it goes for at least minimum 35 quid.

I used to have a made in usa phase linear 400 amplifier and it was a beast it was true 400 watts of power.
i have build from a kit lm3886 gainlcone amp great sounding amp but had to sell it to get funds.

But due to tech moving on i have downgraded to smaller devices like laptop and phone for music.
the days of buying big stack systems is in the past now.

tube amps i swear the best sound you can get sansui solid state amps made great sounding amps that were based on copying sound quality to tube amps.

Ordinary earphones, enough for gaming, music and online classes.

My digital audio player has a tube amp setting, obviously not the real thing though.

The tube amps I have sampled sound really warm, I can see why Some people like them.

I remember that you were a Tweaker of sorts.

Nice combo! Forgot to mention my main set up is composed of JBL speakers and a Denon integrated amp.

I have an older pair of Klipsch computer speakers that served my purpose very well

I have tried JBL and Polk too, but to my ears this combo sounds the best, given that music is a very personal matter.

Of course! Which is why in part I was curious as to others set ups. As a general appreciator of music.

I have one of those Chinese headset with one side not working properly.

I have Bloody headphones with RGB but I don't wear them because they are bulky and uncomfortable.

Tip: Get your self branded headset or headphones. Protect your ears and your head from that headache.

I bought myself a cheap pair of gaming headphones a couple of years back.

They looked good and the sound was OK, but oh my goodness the clamping force was so painful.

Haven’t gamed as much lately, but when I do, I use my Denon headphones. Although they don’t have a mic

there is a trick to make average sounding earphones into expensive sounding earphones, you use tiny amount of cotton bud behind the inner earpiece speaker which improves the treble and bass.

look into vido earphones
