You know, I read a lot of critiques that are prefaced with "I'm listening on cheap cans" or "I'm listening on crappy PC speakers," etc. (I've done this too, by the way - late at night I have to use headphones a lot of times) and it occurs to me that really, I wonder whether our input is really worth much if we are monitoring the mixes on these kinds of systems.
I mean, we're already kind of one foot in the grave considering crappy old mp3 is generally the format of choice for listening (there's a big part of me that thinks posting anything below a 320 kps mp3 is just a waste of time, since even a good mix sounds like dookie on a 128 mp3).
So I'm wondering, what are *you* listening on? It would be instructive for me to get an idea of what everyone's using to monitor. I recently got a pair of Yorkville YSM1s.
What's yer setup folks?
