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.
 
Im quite strange when it comes to music, i like Springsteen! Meatloaf aswell as country music!! Scottish lad that lives in middle of england!! Nice to see another Cambs on this very short list!! =]
 
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
 
My systems are in my sig ;). My musical tastes are as follows...
Shpongle
Ott
Yggdrasil
Solar Fields
Aes Dana
HUVA Network
Argaman
Entheogenic

Mostly ambient electronica...a pinch of horns, a twist of Squeezebox, and tubes to taste :D.
