I have collected over the years (mostly new but some second hand thanks recently to e-bay) the following. In the lounge alongside the tv/sky+ a Cambridge Audio Azur 540A v2 amp/640C v2 cd/DenonDR-24HX cassette deck (+many metal tapes). I got what I thought were good interconnects (gold plated) and speaker cables.I listen to this through a pair of white bose cube speakers and a gale active sub-woofer (speakers almost invisible which pleases my wife, very important). For when my lady wife is watching tv I have commandered a spare bedroom where I have a Rotel RA-820A amp/an old mission cd player courtesy of e-bay/AKAI GX 4000D reel to reel tape deck /MarantzTT251 turntable and listen through a small pair of Mordaunt-Short speakers mounted on shelves. Can you suggest how I might optimise what I have aquired so far but on a tight budget or am I beyond hope? I have tried starting by getting the best 'source' and working from there, surely there must be other hi-fi 'learners out there like me? I am aiming on keeping the tape decks as I grew up with this sort of technology so please humour me on that one. I did consider getting a Project turntable, have seen some at sub £200 at Richer sounds?? Started getting your magazine (june, july, august) am awaiting the september issue next week. a very enjoyable and informative read. Many thanks Robert
