Hey!!!
Well im pretty new to all this but i was flicking through here and didnt find any music related posts!! You all have bloody amazing systems! I always rated my set up as one of the best, then you lot burst my bubble!! (Thank you everyone!! Really you made me feel soo... Yeh!) I run a simple 18+yo Cambridge Audio P25 that my dad passed onto me, a set of fidelity speakers from the 1970's and a set of Matsui bookshelf's! I think ive payed £17 over all! On speaker wire and Phono-3.5mm jacks leads!
Back to the subject!
What music comes out of these systems?
Firstly my system is ..
PS3 <Optical> Audio-GD Dac/Pre-amp/Head Amp -> Cambridge Audio Azur 340a -> Mission 780SE Bookshelfs.
what comes out of mine is generally ...
Muse
The Killers
The Rifles
Green Day
The Fratellis
System of a Down
Kings of Leon
I listen to Rock mainly on my speakers, but reserve my headphones for Jazz, classical and Acoustic.

I have:
AV710 Sound Card (optical) -> Zhaolu 1.3 DAC -> M^3 Pre-Amp / Headphone amp -> Chipamp -> Modula MT's
Most of it is homemade stuff. The Zhaolu has been recased, re-op amped, and a couple of other modifications. I also have a pair of HD580's that I use when I can't crank everything up too loud.
I'm not sure what kind of music I like, but I'll give you what's in my Half.com wish list as an example:
Imogen Heap
White Stripes
Johnny Cash
Queen
The Killers
Ingrid Michaelson
Regina Spektor
The Strokes
Sufjan Stevens
Bing Crosby
Will Smith
Chris Thile
Jack's Mannequin
