Who likes their Sound Quality?

To go with my Note 2 (that supports OnTheGo USB host mode, and music out over USB) I purchased some new SQ toys :D

Coupled with lossless music (just re-ripped all my Pink Floyd CDs in to FLAC 96khz (~1GB per album!)) it sounds amazing. The famous guitar note on 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond!' sounds amazing!

Who else loves SQ as much as the music itself? What set ups do you have?

very nice i am more into my surround sound i went to bose one day and bought one of there surounds sounds sounded ace in the shop set it up at home and wasn't impressed the subwoofer lacked and sounded abit dull from the speakers so took it back with there 30day money back guarantee

may have to get some bose headphones again tho as i do think they were good

now i have a separate system i bought a kef KT3005SE system with an onkyo amp sounds loads better than the bose did and cost less :P

Nice! My 5.1 setup is very basic, although I do still like the sound of it. It just comprises of a Creative Labs X-Fi Fatal1ty sound card and Logitech THX Z5400 5.1, 330W RMS. Got my EQ set up, with the crystaliser and CMSS on and it sounds pretty good. Not audiophile level by any stretch of the imagination, and I know 5.1 is a big no no in the music world, but I love it :D

I used to be a home cinema nut... Obsessed with projectors, subwoofers and amps etc.. But not so bothered anymore, the overall quality and price of stuff these days is a lot better than it used to be. Still like a good bass to my sound systems to give depth to the music. Modern LCD TVs sound so tinny so had to buy a Panasonic 5.1 sound system

I used to be heavily into car audio equipment when I first started driving.
Phoenix gold 4x500w RMS amp for the Focal Poly glass speakers (2x7" and 2x 6x9")
and a phoenix gold 1500w RMS amp and Focal Orgasmic 20" sub. All powered by a kenwood head unit.

The damn car didn't need a engine, just open the boot and turn the stereo up.
I spent more time laying fibre glass and carbon fibre in the doors then I did driving it.

Good choice, I love my Kef speakers driven by my Denon amp.

I would still love a good system in my car, but this hobby makes it impossible. Plus I'm too lazy to rip the door cards off and deaden them lol

But... CDs are only sampled at a frequency of 44.1KHz in the first place...

I have an Arcam stereo set-up, running through a Graham Slee Solo Ultra-linear headphone amp, driving a pair of Sennheiser HD650 headphones.
Stops the Mrs moaning at me about my music being on whilst she is watching TV, and it's a great way to build or fix my Helis.

I'm still using an Arcam Alpha CD player and an Alpha 8 amp, powering a pair of Ruark Epilogue speakers and a set of AKG studio monitor headphones... It's old kit now but it still sounds excellent.

My noise room is a little louder :)

Mine is the 7SE Cd player, running through an Arcam Alpha 8 and 8P, bi-amping Cyrus CLS70 speakers.
I also have an upgraded Technics SL1200 mk2 turntable, running through a Graham Slee reflex M phone stage. Sounds better than CD :anonymous:
I am not keen on upgrading it, as you need to spend stupid money to get anything that will sound better.
I just hope it keeps working!!!

WTF ???? nothing beats vinyl or Schellack - never - get over it, digital is just for the comfort, real music isnt digital ...

best to experience, even if you dont like classical music, go see a big orchestra ... else stand next to a tank when it shoots, war isnt a nice thing but definitely the best sounds!!

Good catch on the 44.1 or 96. I er, downloaded the odd couple I was missing ;)
