I am new to this forum and website. Music is an important part of my life. I am curious how most of the enthusiastic music lovers that take the time to post on this website.
Under what conditions do they listen to their music? My preferred situation is at home playing vinyl from my vintage hi-fi ...a custom Thorens TD-126 turntable with a Rega arm and a Shelter Cartridge. Nothing compares to it. I have CDs, an Ipod and shit loads of music files on my Mac so I can be mobile.. But it's an inferior substitute. Like the difference between streaming video from Utube your mobile device vs going to a Movie theatre abd seeing something on the big screen..
I take acid and taste the music while injecting metal into my veins. You probably already guessed that if you took a look at my eyes. _________________ She is not Polythene Pam

Running FLAC and ALAC off my computer vs my vinyl does have a different feel, but I often don't care that much about the difference. Sure, watching a film at a movie theater vs an average home theater system (say a 60" and THX sorround sound) shows a difference, but am I really going to care about it while I am enjoying a movie? No.
Similarly, I enjoy both somewhat equally. My favorite way to listen to music is loud, in a dim room, relaxed, with no interuptions. I try to listen to an album a day that way.
Next favorite is in the car- most preferably on a road trip, but around town is alright as well.
Walking around with headphones/earphones. Has to be at night since nlow visibility means my imagination can run rampant hand in hand with the music. Raining is sometimes optimal.
Otherwise I used to listen to music a lot whilst gaming but as I don't have my Xbox or computer anymore, that no longer happens.
Jokes aside My preferred situation is at home playing vinyl from my vintage hi-fi as well profiler54. At night with only candles eluminating the room. 😁 _________________ She is not Polythene Pam

I suppose then that it will distress you to learn that I listen to most of my music on my iPod and am in fact listening to a 128kbps MP3 version of an album right this very minute and have no real desire to upgrade its sound. _________________ I love all music. It makes you feel like living. Silence is death.
At home, I listen to vinyl on a Rega RP-1 (with a Groove Tracer platter (more on that if you interested, but I assume most aren't) and a Ortofon 2M Red). For CDs/SACDs, I have a Marantz SA8004. Speakers are Maggie 1.7s plus a REL T2. The amp is an Anthem 225 Integrated. I'm happy with it, especially after adding the T2.
On the go, I use my iPod with Etymotic hf2 jam-in-your-ear earphones.
