When I was a DJ in the late 90's/early 00's, I had three computer based rigs with my ~80k track library ripped at 320kb/s on a portable hard disk. For that entire time I did all my listening on that system. After I sold my rig, I would play the music through the auxiliary in on my 70's Yamaha (blackface m-series) system with Marantz speakers. Eventually, I pulled out my old Pioneer belt drive turntable to listen to some vinyl again. Then, I was home. I have since been slowly replacing every title in my digital collection with LP's.

My favorite stuff is usually the second from TOTL Pioneer and Yamaha receivers with Pioneer turntables. I also like Sansui, Marantz, and some others. I don't have a tremendous preference for speaker, but I really like the big Pioneers and Infinitys.
