I'll start:

I'm a headphone man, it's more personal and better sound for the money, so here's my setup :wink::

Home Setup

Computer Setup:

Foobar w/ kernel streaming and all lossless material
v
Chaintech AV-710 soundcard (wolfson DAC)
v
custom interconnect from soundcard to amp
v
Custom Millet Hybrid amp (powered by custom STEPS psu and custom AC power cord with wattgate plugs)
v
Sennheiser hd650, now with stock cable :frown:  just recently broke the silver cable I had made.  It was 99.99% silver wire with silver plug and 4$ silver solder, all wrapped up in clear teflon tubing and white with black lined techflex.  It was a beauty...really brought the 650's in your face, but compromised the soundstage a little.  Now I'm just happy to be back to them since I had to order a new cable.
v
my happy ears

Pioneer PD-F507 cd player Setup:


CD player
v
Custom rca > mini stereo cable
v
custom switch
v
amp
v
headphones


Portable Rig:

Cowon Iaudio X5 or Ipod nano 1st gen (both with rockbox firmware and pretty much 100% lossless music)
v
Custom 75-ohm adapter to turn the ER4P's into ER4S's
v
ER4P converted to ER4S with adapter mentioned (foam tips)

*plan on building a portable amp soon, custom MINT with built in battery charger


*here's the switch that I made so I wouldn't have to keep unplugging cables to switch from my cd player to my computer for music:




My Millet Hybrid amp (hybrid because it's tube and solid state):



and I don't want to litter the page with pictures of cables I've made, so I'll leave those out... but as for the

My Headphones:
-Sennheiser HD650
-Etymotic ER4P > ER4S
-Etymotic ER6i
-Audiotechnica ATH-FC7
-Koss KSC75

have owned:
-Sennheiser HD580
-Alessandro MS-1

You don't have a headphone amp??

I have one of these for my console stereo:

and one of these for my MP3 player:

http://www.headphone.com/products/headphone-amps/the-mobile-line/headroom-total-bithead.php

Mid-high end Sony wired, Sennheiser wireless. I had the Etymotic ER-4P but sold them because they don't play loud enough on a portable player without a headphone amp and sometimes I don't want to carry the amp with me. Now I use the ER-4S on the go.

In my airplane I use a Bose noise canceling aviation headset for me and DavidClark aviation headsets for my passengers.

What tubes does the amp run with? The look like 12ax7's, but hard to tell from the pic.
