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!

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.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

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.

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.

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.

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)...

:(

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 suspect someone moved it from somewhere where polls are allowed into Tech Talk, where they are not. Geek

I'm not good enough to vote in your poll apparently but, most of my prog is on vinyl. That is largely because my mind could never justify the cost of buying a cd which contains music I already have on vinyl. So while 50% of my listening is done on the road, the prog is mostly played on my semi high end home stereo.

 Holy Moly,  tape some pennies on the stylus. Or if you live in a rural area you may have to use a stack of nickles.

Do you guys actually mean what you are saying?

On the topic: earbuds & MP3, even though it did cost me some of the hearing ability in the past.
