I am posting this in the Source forum as I think this would be the closest match. I'd like to see a thread where everyone lists:
A) Your system(s) (main, mini[office], and/or portable - computer rigs too if you use them regularly) from source to headphones (including cables, power conditioners and other "hard" tweeks).
B) The ONE-PRIMARY and Secondary Music Genres listened to (the ones you "tune" your system to. (catagories are based on similarities of "typical" instrament combinations and listening levels)
- Classical
- Jazz
- Hard Rock/Metal
- Soft Rock/Pop/Country
- Rap
- Folk/World
C) System Status by componant:
- Perm (Permanant - no intention of upgrading before it dies)
- Semi (SemiPermanant - I like but looking for better, or mayby replace after other upgrades are done)
- Temp (making due till finances allow for better)
and maybe:
- TempR (Temp but recommend for Newbies and folks on a tight budget)
Even though we can view each others systems in our profiles, I have found this kind of thread useful in an vinyl newsgroup I am in. It would give us one thread that can be searched by post to see what different folks think about equipment combinations and types of music, and see patterns that may not be obvious. For example, I've read again and again here that Grados are for Rock/Senns are for Classical, but is that really what most folks use them for? This would help answer this and other questions, like: Do tubes go well with Grado's, What headphones do Vinyl listeners like, and what formats are popular.
The idea is not to discuss posts in the thread itself (do a PM or start a new one), but to use it for reference like the Legendary PCDP Gallery thread in the portable forum.
My following post will be the example.
