shooter69:Cheers bretty, apart from the TT its all pre owed and bought over some years. The VPI come direct from the states, took about 14 weeks, was supposed to be 8 but got stuck in customs for some reason. Worth the wait and paid a favourable price for it, it wasn't RRP put it that way.
All my hi fi gear is pre-owned. It's a great way to get high end performance for mid level money, as we both know! Your kit's worth more than mine, but mine was just under £6000 to buy new, I paid £1290, inc the new TT.
Thats a good price and i absolutely agree with you, i took a giant leap a few years ago with the hi-fi. I was changing budget kit but not really getting anywhere SQ wise so maxed out a credit card on the amp for £1700 and went from there. I've been very happy since with the TT being the last in the chain and coming earlier this year. I have no plans to change anything at the moment but if a nice pair of floorstanders come on the market for a silly price i might have to get those credit cards out, but they haven't come yet.
I will get the new TT early next year, and then that's me done. I'm completely happy with my CDP, amp and speakers and don't plan on changing them. I don't suffer from upgradeitus, because there's no area of the system that isn't perfect, to my ears. Obviously, the TT, isn't perfect, but what this budget player has shown me it can do, over the last week, has really whet my appetite for hearing what £1500 worth of deck can do.
New you would not be able to resist - once hooked...............................
Yep, It's got me.
