Hifi, Lofi - Show us What you Listen With…...

Finally completed my hifi system upgrade with a pair of Klipsch RP 4000 Fs. Solid copper wound ceramic woofers and a cone tweeter. They kicked the butt of £2000 speakers I auditioned and sound so great…

Nice addition, enjoy !

She's a beaut! I hear great things about that model.

I´m really into Techno the last view Weeks, more then usual, I listen to Techno for Around 15 Years but I like the current Vibe and the Artists. I´m from an HiFi Standpoint always facinated how dialed the Techno Tracks are when it comes to Mastering. The Majority of Chart Music there Days is digital but despite the face often lacks clear Bass and Highs even in HighRes Formats, especially in Hip Hop you get what kind of Bassline they where going for but missed to fully work out, in Techno on the other Hand the Basslines are Bone Shaking and when played on the Right Medium as Low as ist gets.

PSB 800'sBasement setup is a Marantz 1060 into Marantz Imperial 7's that I just have a Chromecast Audio hooked up to play Spotify stuff from my phone.
When I'm on the go I've got Bose NC700's, Bose Soundsports, or Bose Rondo frames. Big fan of the Bose headphones sound and technology. What I use just depends on what I'm doing or where I'm going.

@chrisjohnnick Very nice setup! Is the McIntosh worth it? I always drool when looking at them, but the price tag scares me…

My Marantz setup was my main for years, and I was very happy with it. I happened to find the MX113 and MC250 on craigslist for $20 about 15 years ago and jumped on it. Yes, $20. I don't think I've ever driven and ran quicker to pick up something. Took them straight to my tech and had them put about $150 of work into them to get them back up. The guy was cleaning out his dad's garage, and said they hadn't been used or plugged in for maybe 20+ years. It definitely sounds amazing, especially when cranked. Don't know if it's worth the price tag new, but definitely worth the used market price tag.

What a great find! Some of McIntosh setups can get very expensive. The nearest Audiophile shop near me has all of the gear listed as POR (price on request), and I’m the type that was taught if you have to ask then…
I did go into the shop once to audition some of the gear, but knew I was in over my head right away. Left and haven’t been back. I still dream though.

Yea, the Mc's are definitely forever pieces for me. I might upgrade the Thorens to something more high end down the road, but every time I consider it, I seem to find something else I'd rather spend the money on. Same thing with the speakers.

Early 1970‘s Pioneer SA-8100 and TX-8100. I had both stored away the last couple of years and finally dug them out after moving to our new home. Need to have them servised though.

@Giles I have a Sonos setup at home that I love. I have the Sonos 5, the sub, and 2 sonos Amp: Connect powering ceiling speakers throughout the house.
What is your review of the Roam? We take an old Jambox mini out on the boat and when we are swimming/floating around the boat the sound doesn't hold up. I was thinking of adding the Roam if it had enough power to give us a better sound in open air. I've considered the Move too, but it's a bit bulky to pack for the boat every time.

Cool thread!
Adding a bit here from the DIY / tube side of the house.
Single ended / ultra-linear switchable KT88 with a split rail power supply power amp (about 8wpc) and a 300B preamplifier based on a bottlehead beepree2. There's a bottlehead crack just below for HD580 headphones just peaking through, a schiit gungnir multibit dac hidden beneath, and a roon endpoint feeding it all out of the frame tucked away. Speakers are a set of floor standing omega single drivers in sapele. I also made a first watt aleph j that sounds terrific but it doesnt quite fit in the shelving, so I only use it on occasion.

@pechelman nice tube gear! I just entered the tube game with a Luxman LX-380 and a pair of Zu Omen II speakers. Sounding pretty good in here!
-
Thanks @setandsetting, your setup looks great too, and excellent cable management!
Have read great things about the Zu's but never the chance to listen. Looks like a nice space to enjoy them in as well. -
This is my kind of thread. Love me some vintage audio gear!!
My pride and joy set up. Stunning sound.
