Haha, yes. Nine Inch Nails specifically is my favorite band by a long shot.        It's on my bookshelf now! I rearranged my room. I'll be moving soon, so was trying to cut the clutter.   I know, I'm down to 325e or Senn 650. I really need to get my Marantz professionally restored...

Some new stuff...                 Pictured is my amp, Marantz 2252B, my Sennheiser collection of 280Pro, Momentum & 558, and my direct drive Pioneer turntable. The hooks for my headphones are from Ikea.

I can give you ten good reasons and I hate Beats. This thread is the most elitist defener circlejerk in the entire forum.

  MartinLogan says no to this.

Good looking setup for a newbie to the audiophile world!

  Well, I'm also a speaker junkie, so mine has a large footprint. I posted it two pages back I think, I have a NuForce uDAC running into my vintage Marantz 2252B. Fantastic speaker amp but honestly it's a beast of a headphone amp. I was gonna buy a Schiit to complement my old Pioneer...

  Welcome to the marantz club. Some would disagree, but there isn't a better vintage IMO than a 70s marantz.

...their products even if it's not good on our standards.   I can't forgive Beats for what they did from 2008-2013, so if they want to ever have me *not* hate them, they need probably another 5 years. But the way they went on the market was pure predatory marketing genius. Capitalism gone...

  That's a fantastic little setup. Jealous of the small footprint.

  Saw them in 2010 at a small club and I'll be seeing them on the 28th in Dallas. If you like shoegaze concerts, go. It's not really much of a metal show IMO, it's much more of a dreamy shoegaze kinda show. But it's fantastic. Although my barometer for metal shows is Dillinger...then everyone else.

Just bought Deafheaven's Sunbather on vinyl. What beautiful artwork, and what a beautifully dark album.

  Thanks! I really stumbled onto it, I was going to buy a new stereo amplifier (I also love speakers) but didn't want to short change my headphones, so I was expecting to spend around $1000. Then this thing fell into my lap, I hadn't even thought about vintage before. It is pretty fantastic...

    Got this thing from my girlfriend and was beat to hell. Wouldn't stop spinning, needle was broken, all the buttons were broke...took it to a record repair guy in Denton, and he had it for five months. Couldn't find anything on it, parts were a debacle. Apparently this is a table that...

Just got my station back together with my new turntable! Little cluttered, but cozy, just like I like it. Really proud of my vintage/modern mix, such a great sounding system and headphone system. The 2252b is a beast of a headphone amp.   Overall room in my apartment. Been working on it for...

Muse fan, eh? Want to hear the gritty bass in Panic Station and not have your ear obliterated by the guitar? Sennheiser

My Sennheiser 558 are excellent. Super light but secure.

Bump...can I get some help?

I'm trying to install Rockbox on my iPod Classic but I have a 160gb iPod latest gen...and I have a Mac, no real opportunity to use Windows...any help?

Go with the 2240b. The late 70s Marantz are durable and sound incredible. I have a 2252b and it's the best amplifier I've ever heard/used and I work in a Magnolia Home Theater. The earlier 70s Marantzes are good but usually aren't as nice sounding, also usually need some more work. Speaking of...

The Momentums are pretty much the best closed back headphones out there without going reference, that's why Sennheiser markets them as their "Orpheus" line, each one of their premiere headphones gets that classification. The only possible thing I could say are those new closed Audeze that are...

   

          Sennheiser Momentum Brown Leather Over-Ear iPod Classic 7g 160gb FiiO E11 Bowers and Wilkins C5 Sennheiser HD280Pro

  I want the simplicity of the iPod Classic, and I like iTunes. I use ALAC and 320. Not a fan of the X3.

I've wanted a real portable rig for quite a while and finally sprung for it. Bought the Sennheiser Momentum, an iPod Classic and a FiiO E11. Advice, opinions, etc? Should be pretty fantastic.

I was having trouble choosing my headphones (finally setting a portable rig up) between the K550 and the Momentum at my Magnolia. Grabbed the Momentum. Can't beat our discount. Haven't listened to them yet! Looking forward to it, wish my FiiO would hurry up and get here.
