Whats your fav vintage or modern audio gear?? ----Audiophile Thread

[RolandJP]

An audiophile, from Latin audio "I hear" and Greek philos "loving," is a hobbyist who seeks high-quality audio reproduction via the use of non-mass-produced high-end audio electronics.

Despite living in the Digital Age of Audio reproduction, which is in a fact is discrete-time, discrete-level analog of a previous electrical analog---IE Ipod nanos and the like--I have discovered the joy enjoy of older or PC-friendly termed vintage or unique sound equipment.



I love rockin my Sony Walkman Cassette player with Pioneer SE-305 headphones that feel like you are wearing two soup cans on either side of your head

Dare I mention the Radio Shack 7 channel stereo mixer with two SL-1200 MK2 turntables = good times.

As far as post-modern equipment; the Ipod's predecessor the Sony New MD Walkman Mini-Disc recorder/player pushes serious bass and treble.

Also the Sony Playstation 1 ScPH-1001 audio version delivers crisp sound.

Whats your fav modern or old school stereo/surround sound gear?

My ears just popped a boner. I don't have the money to buy and really hi-fi stuff, but my favorite audio gear is my pair of Sennheiser headphones. They have some pretty lush sound.

i have a shure 58 beta mic and a shure 87 mic i use for my vocals when i'm playing.

my drums i use a shure 57 on my snare, shure 58's on my rack tom, floor tom 1 and floor tom 2 and a akg d-112 for my kick drum.
i use shure 57's on my hi-hat and one for my two rides and then a 57 for overhead [above my cymbals] on each side of my kit.

i have a pv 112 monitor for my and the 3 other guys vocals and for the two guitars. [i have vocals, and guitar in my monitor mix, low bass and NO drums].

i also use a 12 channel pv mixing board for my drums that is then ran to the main mixer. i have efx on my snare [reverse reverb] and a 31 band eq for my kick drum, and a 31 band eq for my 3 toms.

vocal efx i use a little reverb and chorus with delay as needed for certain songs.
