I've got some new headphone. Coby CV320
* FEATURES: Featuring Dual Volume Controls for Single-side Monitoring or Personal Adjustment
* Professional Digital Sound Quality
* Powerful 40mm Drivers for Super Bass
* Adjustable Headband for Maximum Comfort
* Single-sided cord
* 3.5mm Stereo plug
I also bought a pair of speakers at a garage sale. I have no clue what brand they are (probably some offbrand) but I do know they do sound pretty nice for the $2 I payed for them.
I mean, they beat out those $15 speakers I bought at Wal Mart.

boo.
ive just got mine connected to my comp.
2 nec mids/tweeters, (from my old tv stereo), another 2 tweeters, and 2 12" car subs, which are controlled by a sansui intergrated stereo amplifier. i have no idea about all the ohmz stuff. i just pluged mine in and away she goes.
this is all crammed into a like 2m x 2m area btw. where my comp desk is, so it can give u quite a headache when turned up. lol the the walls shake at vol level 2.5, and it only starts to distort at 7 lol.

*awakes old thread*
My set up is as follows: (every single bit I got second hand, I really havn't paid much in total)
Amp: Denon pma-255UK
Cd Player: Harmon/Kardon fl 8450
Tuner: technics st-x880l
Turntable: technics sl-j100r
Speakers: Tannoy 605 (le's i think, as they are bi wired compatible, with gold plated contacts). I got these for nothing off a generous AV guy I know!
Before the tannoys I was using a pair of wharfedale e50's. Loud as hell, but too bloody big.
Only think that imo really lets my system down is the cheapness of my cabling (excluding the cd to amp cable). So yeah, my set up was pretty cheap compared to some, but it sounds freaking awesome, so I'm happy. Next port of call, new cables!

TV setup: Samsung 710MP with a PS2 and Phillips freeview box. PS2 is connected to Acoustic Solutions DS533 with an opical cable, and freview box is connected with 2 phonos.
PC: Laptop is connected to my JVC hifi with a 3.5 jack to phonos.
That's how my room has changed - the living room is the same. Oh and before the current acoustic solutions speakers, i had some creative p5800s with no decoder.

I used to be into audio, but I haven't upgraded in at least five years. I don't even have a real CD deck. 
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V595a 5.1 DD/DTS It is very old, but nice.
DVD Player: Panasonic DVD RP-56 One of the first (affordable)progressive scan DVD players. It's really cheaply made, but still cost me $200.
TV: Panasonic 47" Widescreen, but don't see the model number. It's OK, but this one's old too.
Laserdisc Player: Pioneer CLD-1070 Yesssssssssss!
Speakers:
Front - Infinity 2-Way Tower
Center - Yamaha
Subwoofer - Yamaha
Rear - KLM Speaker stands cost more than the actual speakers.

Computer:
Logitech Z2300 2.1 system, 200 watts (for about $140 on sale!)
TV:
-Upstairs = Older Kenwood component system, unknown wattage, hooked up to 2 3-way speakers. However many watts, it's enough to produce rattles throughout the house.
-Downstairs = 2 crappy, small speakers hooked directly into TV, sounds only slightly better than TV. Currently searching for cheap (used) reciever and speakers.
Also have a 240 Watt Sony minisystem in my room, and brother has kick-ass system comprised of an older reciever, a DVD player, and half a dozen assorted speakers (most of which are not his), including an old set of Toshiba speakers with MTX Thunderpro's (10's) hidden behind the covers.

On top of being THX Certified, and capable of over 120db, I can also give women erm, pleasure with them (This has been tested). Full 5.2, yes, 5.2 surround. 900 total watts. Main reciever is a Sherwood RD-6108. I run the 8" subs off of an RCA STA-3900 that I've had laying around. TV is an RCA 27" which isn't that great, but it gets the job done.
Center channel, 2 7" mid-bass', 2 4.5" mid-ranges
Front speakers, 12" subwoofer, 2 7" mid-ranges
Rear speakers, 7" mid-range
Sub Box 1, 2 8" subs in a bandpass box, 100 watts per sub
Sub Box 2, 1 10" aluminum cone sub, 200 watts
And there you have it, the cost for all of the speakers, built, including the wood to build them, is under $250. They look ghetto, but they perform better than most speakers available for well over a grand.

Pfft. Soundblaster. . . I have all of my stereo stuff in my room as analog. Echo Audio MIA Soundcard. 1/4" RCA Cables to my receiver. And my mic is an actuall, real, music recording mic; that goes to a 8 track mixer; which has 1/4" wires to the soundcard. Yeah sure it's not digital, but god damn it sounds good.

Oh well I'm not denying that. I just like the idea that sound hasn't been changed into 0s and 1s and 'processed' in foreign ways before it gets to my ear.

Wow, a long time since I've been here at GTP. Anyways, I've gone through an overhaul since the past couple of months. I don't have the money for a full out HT system yet (due to space constraints and money) so I decided to go the 2 channel route.
