If I'm traveling, I use my Jays in ears, I usually have Klipsch Image headphones but I managed to break 3 in a row and as such decided to explore the hifi in ear bud space.

At home, I have a Dayton sub and 2 floorstanding monitors, behringer 5-channel mixer, crown amp and an old gemini turntable. All left to me by my father.

Digital audio I playback from my laptop [.FLAC or .wav preferably now, existing catalog of 320 .mp3.] and records on the turntable obviously. The setup isn't all it could be, I'd like better speaker cables from the monitors to the amp so there's less noise. I also want to run Female XLR to Dual RCA from the mixer to the Amp and sub, but it doesn't seem like many people make a good quality cable in that setup.

That said, it sounds freggin awesome as is and it's so much fun to spend evenings and weekends just belting out old Bob Marley and the Wailers alongside Seth Troxler and Ida Engberg.

P.S. the car I have access to drive also has a sweet Fosgate setup in it.
