So, what headphones/speakers do you guys have?

I'm making this thread because it's a bit after the holiday season, so some people might have gotten some new gear. I'll start with my he-400 and Schiit Magni and modi stack

Oh, Darth, you and I are the onley one with a Head-Fi station:D

Currently thats what I got. A Beyerdynamic DT880, O2/ODAC, FiiO E11, UE TF10. As for speaker set up, I got a Rega RP1, Music Hall Marimbas, and a Parasound ZPhono. I have a AKG K167 coming tomorrow:)

Audio-gd NFB10SE DAC/headphone/pre amp

DIY class D integrated amplifier using an ICEpower 125ASX2 (same used by Bel Canto)

I know lol. I'm debating whether to buy a 4k monitor or those.

I will probably go with the monitor, though.

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"] STAX SR-009! That'll cost ya $7,500. kraken2109

Even 1080p is "good enough". There is a huge difference between 1080p and 1440p, however. There is a huge difference between 1440p and 2160p.

We will eventually hit a point where increasing resolution doesn't do much, but we aren't there yet.

Headphones

• Cresyn CS-HP600's (for serious listening), often compared to theAudio Technica A700 (they actually make OEM versions of AT phones)
• Turtle Beach X12's (for 360)

Speakers/Reciever

• Polk Audio Tsi 300's
• Sunfire True Subwoofer MK1(down) and Dayton Audio Sub-1200
• Denon AVR-1612

My SLI setup handles downscaling from resolutions of 2160p and above well in demanding games, I should be fine. I will eventually get both, it's just a matter of which I buy first.

I have a 2.1 Klipsch.. and inexpensive Panasonic and Koss headphones.

Nice to know there are users here who happen to be audiophiles!

My recent purchase is Vsonic's GR07 Bass Edition IEM here for portability. My computer speakers are M-Audio AV40s and when it's late I use Sennheiser HD 280 Pros + JDS Lab cmoyBB

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]Upstairs I have my AudioEngine A5's hooked up to a computer with an X-Fi Forte sound card. Downstairs I have a pair of KRK Rokit 8 G2s hooked up to a Cambridge DacMagic. In my room I have a 4.1 setup (ditched the center speaker after testing) with a pair of Energy RC-50s up front, a pair of RC-Minis in the back, and a PA-120 subwoofer hooked up to an Onkyo TX-SR607. At my girlfriend's I have a pair of RC-Minis powered by a Datyon DTA-1 for modest computer use. All computer speakers are seated upon Auralex Mopads. Oh yea, and I have Grado SR-225i headphones. kraken2109

I lent some to a friend who had AugioEngine A5s sitting on his desk. After taking them back, he propped them up on some books and said it just wasn't the same.My friend bought ended up some new Mopads, reasoning that they're simply worthwhile and you'll use them forever. It doesn't just provide for the better isolation from the desk, it also better raises and angles all my speakers so the tweeters and woofers are eye level, as well as facing slightly upwards. I managed to get about 3 pairs of Mopads from my 1 used purchase (with some cutting work).

Do you know of a similar brand/product for cheaper? I can't bring myself to spend £30 for some foam... :Pkraken2109

Speakers - Pioneer FS52s, ordering a BIC H-100 sub to go with them this week.

Headphones - ATH-M50

Nothing amazing in either catigory, but decent all around.:)

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"][QUOTE="NVIDIATI"] I think the MK III is a great amp, although I haven't done any tube rolling yet. The only problem is I tend to juggle back and forth between the MK III and the NFB10SE.

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"] Is your AKG K702 balanced? Also, just got AKG K167, not as good as my DT880's but they will do as my portable headphone:DWolfetan

One thing i never understood is why people think the he-400's are so heavy. Before i bought them, that was pretty much the biggest "draw" from them, comfort and weight. Neither bother me at all, i mean i feel them on my head, yes, but it isn't annoying. Gets better with time, definitely. I think sometime this year i should get a nice ~$300 portable to go with them, possible the m100's or the sony mdr 1r's. Maybe even the sennheiser momentum's.kris9031998
