For some reason I can't vote in this "poll"Confused

Anyways, I listen via a multitude of different ways: ear-buds, stereo(my preferred), another guy's car stereo, mp3, cds, computer with headphones and the odd vinyl experience. Stereo would get my vote though.

I went with large headphones but in reality it is a combination of home stereo/headphones/computer because it just depends on who else is home at the time and what time of day (I do a lot of listening at night).  Alas the hubs is not much of a prog fan (or a loud music fan)...

Car stereo, mostly out of necessity.  I like privacy when I'm listening to music.  The home stereo has become more and more of a "special occasion" listen, unfortunately.

edit:  I get a lot of privacy at work too, luckily, since I have my own office.  But even then I can't play my iPod dock too loudly without being disruptive.  I can play it loud enough to hear what's going on, anyway.

All of the above except for the last option.  The computer takes the lead though in the quantity department/  I have a good surround sound setup in my music room where I can get loud and not bother my wife.

Pink Triangle Anniverary turntable with an SME V arm and Lyra Lydian cartridge, Audiolab 100W pre and power amps and Mission 753 Freedom speakers. Headphones are Beyer Dynamic 550s and all albums are archived onto a Pioneer CTS9000 cassette deck using metal or top quality chrome tapes.
 
And no - I don't have a CD player (I use my computer with its terrible reproduction) because I much prefer analogue sound quality. Indeed, I've just bought a copy of The Snow Goose on pristine 180g vinyl, which has made my year. I also understand IQ are releasing Subterranea on vinyl which will be another of my favourite albums which I can listen to properly.

I go to work by train so I spend at least 2 hours per day with headphones on. I have two mp3 readers in case one has the battery exhausted.

This poll is about what you use the most to listen to prog. 

I went with "Home Stereo".
I love to hear new things in the music on the home stereo that I missed in the car, due to road noise.

How about you?
Got a favorite type of equipment to listen on? Does it matter a great deal to you?
If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!
