Calling on audio geeks who surf. What's your setup? I can't stand listening on headphones. I like having sound wash all over me like a wave. Phasing out the cd. My system (I go for mid-fi, not going to blow my retirement on audio): Thorens TD160, or AAC320kbps (Plex, Rdio) NAD C370 Usher V601 The ushers are the best purchase I ever made. Got them for $400/pr and they just make me smile every time I listen. I don't drive much so don't care about car audio. But if you do let's hear about it.
