I live in a student hostel so I can't listen to music with loudspeakers - I use this instead:

Sennheiser px200

In my parents house, in my room I have those:

Tannoy M1

modest stuff, but I don't need anything better.

the best way (for me) is an audiophile hi-fi (B&W or Tannoy speakers, NAD elements) with some candles, a good single malt (preferrably speyside), or some good wine (but not getting drunk), maybe a Jama�can cigar, a good music handbook in the hands and loafing in my couch....

or with a slight alteration of speaker direction... loafing on the lawn under a walnut tree, but it won't be as loud.

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

There's a few ways that I think are really good...

Walkman/ cassette player/ MP3 on the bus (especially good for homemade compilations).

At night in the (near) darkness, in the lounge, on vinyl and getting totally into it. (best for an album experience)

Compact disc or tape in cars and used as driving music. (Anthrax and Ozzy sound great when the car speakers are bursting, it's dark, you're in the Scottish woodlands and you have the window right down with the rain pissing right into your face and hair everywhere as you scream 'CRY FOR THE INDIANS!!!'.)

Please note: In the third instance I was the passenger NOT the driver!

my headphones, use them for mixing and such (lots of bass in these bad boys; use them to feed my bass addiction Tongue
