karmakramer Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I am always wondering/looking for what audio equipment is currently good... and although I am pretty much flat broke at the moment I would love to hear some set-ups people currently have/want to have. So please feel free to post what you are digging currently or are looking to dig in the future.

modey Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 in my 'studio' i have an old kenwood ka-2002a amp from the 70s that was handed down to me from my dad, going out to a pair of 80s teac speakers that i bought from an op shop for $8. as for headphones, i use alessandro ms-1s in the studio, and sennheiser hd-201s in the loungeroom for when i don't want to disturb my girlfriend. my kenwood amp has survived three interstate moves and still sounds fucking excellent. there is no way i'm ever replacing it. if it dies beyond repair, i'm going to do my best to find another identical one.

plstik Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 oh I´d be great if someone could recommend a good (and affordable) pair of stereo- speakers! My old ones became too awful to listen to in the last years and I have no clue where to start searching..

I wonder how much more immersed in the music you would be with those senn's compared to our 280s Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/45720-speakers-headphones-receivers/#findComment-1043432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessier Ashpool Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Senn's HD-580 Pro's - lovable, but takes a lot to drive them which can be a pain. Speakers - Vandersteen 1C's pic: Integrated Amp - McIntosh MA 6200 pic (not mine, but you get the idea): CDP - Massive Fail on all levels - using the Xbox at the moment which means I'm driving shit through good equipment. . . . need to get a squeezebox or something of that nature for streaming, or just a really decent CDP. Anyone here have any experience with streaming music or digital jukeboxes? I'm always wary of quality with 'em, but don't know anyone with "hands on" experience. Oh, also have some Technics Turntables which are ace.

karmakramer Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 For just home listening what would you guys recommend for a turntable. I was thinking I should get something I can mix with, but I think I am just going to stick with digital mixing so I don't fuck up any of my vinyl.

Guest Adjective Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I agree Benedictumber. I recently traded out my Ja Rule 300's for a a pair of used Springsteens and i'm quite happy. I love throaty cans but the Ja's were just a bit much Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/45720-speakers-headphones-receivers/#findComment-1050602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
