I got to thinking about the electronic stuff I use day in day out right about now and what needs upgrading in terms of hardware and software. Then I got to wondering what its like for other ppl, if anybody's got a computer that's as out of date as mine etc its not really supposed to be a list of anything and everything you own, mainly just the stuff that you use most often that's associated with taping/trading. I kind of got off track with the videogames but included that since portable gaming is like a walkman of a sort. Oh yeah I use TLH, very old version that I should get to updating and sometimes still run FFE.

Re: Your Favorite Equipment & Software

Just a five disc changer and standard radio.

Re: Your Favorite Equipment & Software
How about speakers?
Quite essential. Aren't they? I have Gradient 1.3 speakers. About 17 years old already. Right. Ancient. Yeah. I do know this model don't go as low as 20 kHz. They are at their best when listening to acoustic music - not in your face r'n'r speakers at all. And yeah. I do know that a lot has happened at the speaker front since these speakers were made. But anyway... At least Gradient 1.3 speakers were rewarded for their design, which make them just perfect for interior decorating. If interested about their philosophy of making speakers - I assure there's something to think about even for pros - here are few links: http://www.regonaudio.com/Gradients.html http://www.gradient.fi/news No members have liked this post.

Re: Your Favorite Equipment & Software
industry standard for over 20 years might contradict what you're saying. of course you can't work on the bass on them, they're near field monitors. anyway, I already bought them. I don't want trendy genelecs I want what they used in the studios where they made zeppelin records.
ps no offense taken
