Amp: Audiolab 8000S (I Love it!!

)

Speakers: B&W DM603-S3

My first set of speakers was Paradigm, but now, with these B&W's, I don't think about another upgrade so soon. Great speakers.

CD player: Sony CDP-M33 (no photo available).

Demetrio.

Amp: Marantz PM75

Speakers: Tannoy Mercury MX4 with Tannoy sub woofer

CD: Vestax dual CD mixer

Technics GT5000 DAB/FM/AM Tuner

Also have a Sony DTC70ES dat recorder and a Technics SL1200 deck but don't use them much.

Chucked cassette out as a bad job as soon as car CD players came in (I only used cassette to transfer music to the car).

I must confess that I tend to use my Sony NW A3000 walkman to play most of my music now. 256Kbps mp3. Just plug it into the aux i/p of the amp.

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

I'm not an audiofile, but like to go for a bit of robust mid-priced quality - no pics - it's all to messy to show in public

for the PC:

Audio Innovations Alto amp

QED R232E Turntable with QED pre-amp

JAMO Laser Power speakers

Terratec DMX 6fire 24bit soundcard

TASCAM 788 8-track digital portastudio

Crappy Philips CDR recorder that is now busted.

Living Room/Conservatory/Patio:

NAD 3020A Amp

Thorens TD130 turntable with original tone-arm

Cheapest DVD player I could find (but for playing CDs)

Flying-lead for my iPlod

Mission 750 speakers, some old KEF speakers and some cheap plastic Ariston ones that I've waterproofed for outside - all on a 4-way speaker selector switch.

Acoustic Research TDS202 sound enhancer - strange little passive filter - I've no idea what it does, but it makes everything sound brighter so I do not have to have the volume up too loud when listening outside.

/edit: I also use a pair of Howland-West Waferlite electrostatic headphones for normal listening (these things are about 30 years old but sound wounderful) and some enclosed IXOS things for recording (I don't like enclosed headphones but these have negligable spill).

I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering a Rega P1 record player soon to upgrade from the Sony generic one my parents had. From what I've read, it looks great, and it's very affordable too (only $350!). Anybody have any thoughts on this record player?

I'll have to take some pics and post them, but for now I'll give a description

1 Kenwood KRA-5050 200 watts per channel
4 JAMO's, bottoms are the BX-200A's, on top 2 BX-150's
1 KCD 1070, that I'm told only 5 came to the US, f.i.n.e drive, 24 bit, 32 times over sampling, Kenwood never mass marketed these...... no sub-woofer is needed and it lights up the neighborhood with sound easily, everything distributes the cleanest lows, mids and high's......

Where were we?........Oh there!

This thread and others with a similar theme shouldn't be about dominance or one person establishing himself or herself as the arbiter of all things right. It's about people sharing their opinions etc even occasionally having a reasoned argument in which opposing views are debated in a sensible, adult manner in a bid to find resolution. That's not evident here.

Oliver is obviously passionate about his hobby and that's cool but as my mother always said: if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all.

I agree, I want to see what people play their music on here, whatever it is, without fear of being laughed at or made to feel inferior.

A litle gentle piss traking is fine of course.

Yeah, I've seen your system Snowy - two plastic cups tied together with string with you humming By-Tor & the Snow Dog in the middle isn't exactly state of the art!

Thats the spirit.
