Hmm… too many to list.
It started with an early Walkman & Sony MDR-31 headphones.
It's currently: Mac Mini - iTunes - USB Dragonfly - iCan - HiFiMan HE-400S
Manymanymany different ones in between including boom box + car amp w/homemade 12V power supply to Realistic Minimus-25s, about 5 different car amps (in my actual car!) with around 5 different custom speaker setups. Around 6 different Walkmen and Discmen with Sony MDR-41s, 62s, 84s, Grado SR-60s. Mini Stereos, Panasonic boomboxes. Lotsa fun from *all* of them.
At home the current second banana to the headphone setup above is *very* simple:
Intel NUC6i5 - Lepai LP7498E Class-D amp - Pioneer SP-FS52s
This has *amazing* sound for something that cost all of $270 new for the amp + speakers. Both have been well-reviewed as good low cost audio. The 24 bit masters of Exile on Main Street sound almost as good on this as it does in the HiFiMan 'phones, which cost more than those 3 pieces put together.
