Without reading through the whole thread, I've got a pretty powerful Bose system that hasn't been used in a couple of years. Do you guys do any sound proofing with your stereo systems, as I don't want to piss the neighbours off. I've read all types of opinions on the internet but most seemed pretty impractical.

In England you can make as much noise as you wish between the hours of 07:00hrs and 23:00hrs. If you stick to these times you are in no danger of the environmental health people.
If you wish to consider your neighbours you should negociate a time table with them that is mutually convenient

I know the law on that kind of stuff and actually work quite a bit with environmental health etc. I really don't want to go down the road of negotiating with my neighbours and would sooner do some kind of soundproofing. I live in an area with some snooty neighbours and I guess they wouldn't be too happy with me belting out music at full blast. I only have neighbours on one side as I live in a semi.

Attach batons to the wall and then place loft insulation between the batons before attaching plaster board to them. Finally cover the plaster board with foam tiles. The whole thing is a fire hazzard so perhaps your snooty neighbours would prefer a timetable, than having their property go up in smoke???

I have an epiphone sg and I run that through a boss rt20 into a Line 6 spider IV 75 watt amp. It's an awesome rig. But changing the channels are a pain without the switcher pedal.

I sometimes run my Casio ctk-519 through it, which gets some pretty amazing sounds.

Upgraded some stuff, I now have an AudioGD NFB2 DAC and Squeezebox Touch for digital. I broke the cantilever on my Denon DL103 so that is away at Soundsmith in the US getting rebuilt, still using the 1042 in the meantime. I have a borrowed Planar 3 from 1978 with original Acos built Rega R200 tonearm. I am halfway through building a step up amp for when the DL103 gets back.

Over the past couple months I've had a bit of a headphone/IEM obsession, which has lead me to purchase some great, but mostly not so great, headphones.

Recently however I've acquired a couple of pieces of equipment that have thoroughly impressed me with their quality:

Fiio E-17 Alpen headphone amplifier/DAC

This little thing-- it's about 2/3rds the size of my iPhone -- is absolutely amazing and has opened up a world of audio fidelity that I have yet two experience with a pair of headphones. it has a variable gain switch; bass, treble, and balance controls; can accept input from just about anything you can imagine: USB, SPDIF, Optical etc.. Via a 13 pin line out dock, the digital signal circumvents the iPhones subpar internal amplifier and digital to audio converter and routes the unamplified signal directly to the e17. It has turned my iphone into a veritable audiophile device.



I have it attached to my iPhone case with velcro, like so:



I also purchased, after extensive research a pair of Thinksound TS02 earphones:


For $80 the sound quality of these IEMs is immense. Nearly perfect balance across the frequency ban, (admittedly they could use a bit more sub bass extension), and the soundstage, width and depth are absolutely stellar. In my opinion they are the closest you can come to perfect audio fidelity for under $100, and the synergy between them and my headphone amp is nearly perfect. And did I mention they are made from /packaged with recycled materials. Their customer service, from all the reviews I've read, is second to none, although I've not yet had to take advantage of it.

I highly recommend both products. Together they have, for me, opened up a whole new world of music appreciation.
