With your ears of course...haha...just in case anyone gets the notion to side-step the issue by posting a smarty-pants answer...hahaha Seriously though, I was wondering...in this day and age, what do the members of this great site use to listen to the classics or any music that they enjoy? Not just during a commute or out for a run but moreso when you are in a serious mood to "get into" the music. I have a little ole Sony micro system. 140 watts with a really shitty pair of Koss headphones that are in dire need of replacement...not repair...Replacement! Not getting the highs or the lows with these things lately? It's been 7 or 8 years, so maybe they have worn out??? Still, they seem to work for the most part and I still use this as my source for enjoying the music I like. I also have an older "rack" system, once again Sony brand and it served me well for a number of years but the cd player has since went for a dump and I wonder if I should just replace that specific unit or could it be replaced with a DVD player to spin the discs? 2 jacks in the back of the amp...I'm thinking its do-able?  Just curious though, how do the rest of you kids enjoy listening to your music? With the increasing amount of IPods and MP3 players, I'm wondering, is the traditional way dying out? I still prefer headphones, not just the cheapie earbuds, but the fully enclosed sets through a half decent system. Gotta have good cans on the ears. Then of course, when yer in the kitchen cookin' up a storm or hosting a bash and headphones just don't factor into the mix...what are you employing to deliver the goods? Anyone? Thanks Kim |

My good lod JVC system...recently replaced the amp (about 2 years now) with a 5.1 amp, and a few extra speakers, but the main speakers are still the old faithful JVC set (22 years old) that still kick major ass.
In the car I have a 6 disc Pioneer changer on the Ford system that comes with the old Station Shaggin Wagon.

I actually get the most out of listening to music when I'm listening in my truck. I usually crank the truck stereo and can hear most of the nuances of the songs almost as well as when I used to listen through headphones back in high school.

I've got a traditional component system. My old U.S. made Fisher receiver was replaced with a Radio Shack digital I think it's 70 watts. It powers a JVC double taped deck that I hardly use, a Sony remanufactured 5 disk changer and a Yamaha straight-armed turn table. Cds are what I use for the most part and occasionally a Lp (vinyl)
___----> Cds are too delicate and I am tired of them getting botched- Mp3's music sounds lower quality than Cds or TAPE! --- I think I may look around and try to find a decent Mp3 set up--- otherwise I stick to my Cds (that I should, but hardly ever make 'listener' copies...)

DEFIANTLY ON MY BIG MAIN PIONEER STEREO SYSTEM. Ha! Me too!  I've had it for 10+ years...but it still sounds as good now as the day I got it, so why mess with success? I still listen to music a lot on headphones, too. I bought a pair of Bose several years ago, and they sound absolutely outstanding. I had to take out a 2nd mortgage to pay for them, but what the hell. I also have a Bose system in my pickup. And it sounds really, really good also. |

At work - Exclusively mp3s on my laptop through some Sh*tty earphones that I keep getting on some domestic airlines
At home - I live at my aunt's place so I hear my CDs through their old but good AIWA player with the output crispy clear enough.

On the old hi fi set in the living room of course. Through the speakers. No head phones. I try to keep the volume low enough strictly for my own enjoyment and not bother the neighbors. Although ... my neighbors seem to think I "listen to cool music" so it doesn't bother them so much what I'm playing on the hi fi anyway.

A component system consisting of my old Sony Pro Logic receiver, Sony tape deck, Sony CD/DVD player, and my early '80's Pioneer turntable with variable speed and a Shure stylus.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD497 headphones that I purchased for my studio that I listen to my art-rock with. That means if it takes full use of the stereo spectrum, like a Yes album or something like that.
Preferably really loud. The coolest is to play my mint LP of Deep Purple's "Machine Head" through this system as loud as humanly possible. It's just so '70's.
