If you were stuck on a deserted island and had a choice of 1 player, 1 headphone and 1 album, what would it be?

Mine:
Sony D-25
Ultimate Ear UE-10 PRO
Lehmann Black Cube
Tannhauser Complete by Richard Wagner (Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Georg Solti, released on DECCA 2002, 8th July; Solti + Vienna Phil. + Wagner= PRICELESS)

*All music style welcome.

Magnavox 6833/17
Grado RS1
Dreamtheater Live @ Budokan

 

[Mercuttio]

Just one song!? That seems so extreme! How about one album... please?

Well...

5G iPod
Grado RS1
Radiohead's "No Surprises"

Course, I'd prefer to have all of "OK Computer" if I could.

Try listening a Wagner (especially "Ride of the Valkyries"; helicopter scene from "Apocalypse Now") on it and you will see why.

...What happens when the player runs out of battery life?

Can't we all just bring our gf/bf with us? Be a lot more fun that way

, and if you ever run out of meat on the island...

will do!! The RS1 with bowls has a great soundstage IMHO.

Sony D-335
Beyer Dynamic DT880
Some sort of aggressive amp, probably, like the PINT/Mini3.
Not sure on the album, maybe some larger live album from DT (like Live at Budokan). They vary their sound from song to song, so I find their albums have a relatively low level of fatigue over time.

Mm...must have something battery powered. Get a string of 10 lemons and make batteries ghetto style! FOr metal um...who doesn't carry strips of copper and silver in their wallet? hehe

Great album. If not for James LaBrie, the album would have been the best live album ever.

Only headphones? Now, I love headphones, but if you're on a deserted island, I'd go for speakers. I could crank them up and not upset the neighbors.
