Sound Systems.

[Ov3rdos3]

Ive placed this in the Generals Section because I figured, it's what we listen to our psytrance on everyday, so it kinda counts. If this isnt "General Material", please feel free to move this to the 1999 reviews section.

 

I do not have an insane killaar sound system, but what i have is a 5.1 Panasonic surround sound system. There are 5 speakers plus a Sub. Each of the 5 speakers are 50watts Rms (and are actually pretty loud) and the Sub woofer is 250 watts. Although on high volume my windows rattle like a frightened epileptic. I never play it full volume. Its sufficient.

 

When i dont feel like commiting hate crimes against my neighbours, I use my sony MDR-V700 headphones, which are the best headphones ive ever owned. the sound quality is fantastic...and the only let down i have now, is that listening to 192 bit mp3's at high volume...i can actually hear quality loss, because the headphones have such a high frequency range. CD's sound great though

my soundsystem:

5" polypropylene woofer

1" silk dome tweeter

bi-amp power amps (65 watts woofer, 65 watts tweeter)

Acoustic Space Control

Builtin crossover of 3Hz

Low Frequency Filter

Low Frequency Cut Switches 56Hz, 80Hz, and 100Hz

High Frequency Boost/Cut Switches

magnetically shielded

Shielded from RF interference

 

suits just fine

I have 2 Genelec 1029A Monitors which I listen to all my stuff on. I also have a shitty soundsystem for reference, and which my girlfriend is using to listen to cds on. Now shitty, doesnt mean bad sound, its just cheap.

My Home listening system. They are absolutely good for home listening reference.

Oh a soundsystem thread. I'm very excited as hi-fi is my number 1 hobby.

 

My system:

 

Sugden Masterclass CD Player

Sugden Masterclass AA pre amp

Sugden Masterclass Pure Class AA power amp

ProAc Future One Speakers

Isotek Gemini mains conditioner

Van Den Hul Mainsstream mains cables (x4)

Nordost Valkyrja XLR interconnects (x2)

All in all around £20K worth of kit.

My tiny small soundsystem

[Guest Rain]

I have 3 soundsystems in my place but will post the best I have to much work

 

JVC RX-230R

 

 

 

 

 

[Krell]

Amplifier - NAD C370

2*120watt@8&4 Ohm - Dynamic Power is 350watts pr channel in 4ohm, and 10ms bursts.

Speakers - QLN612

Powerhandling 350Watts - 2 6½ Inch Mid, 1" Tweeter & 12" Long Throw Peerless Subs. Frequency response 28hz-22KHz. 31kgs each.

 

I feed them from either my computer, or Pioneer CDJ100s + Vestax PMC-270A mixer + long cables. Audio cable is from Tara Labs I believe.

 

Whos next in the pissing contest ? :-) My neighbours never complain, but the people living upstairs will whine if I just turn the volume knob from 19 O´lock to 22 O´clock position :-(

Those are good looking speakers, very tidy.

gripe about headphones..

 

- i've never liked Sony 700s (or Pioneer 1000s because of the same problem) because they're made for DJs and they amplify sound in the low frequency range (the kick/bass) while not reproducing a lot of the upper frequencies correctly. I like Sony 600s, Sony 7506, Sennheiser HD 25, or some other Studio reference headphones to listen to music.

 

-2 cents.

haha, some ppl got some serious sound equipment here. My current setup is a pair of yamaha little bookshelf speakers that are probably almost as old as I am, and I just added a pair of altec lansings that I bought for $2 at a surplus sale. I have a subwoofer but it doesn't work :\

 

Suits me fine for the moment, anything more would be hard to transport. I do have the sony mdr-600's though, which I think are the best headphones one can get at normal retail stores around here.

2x Mackie HR624s which are awesome:

 

Free field frequency response

52Hz - 20kHz ±1.5dB

Low Frequency Response

-3dB at 49Hz

High Frequency Response -3dB at 22kHz

Sound Pressure Level @1 meter, 7.5dBu into balanced input

100db SPL@1m

Max peak output per pair 115dB @ 1m

 

 

and a Sennheiser HD-202 which is pretty good IMO.

Metal stairs have the best acoustics.
