    Off the top of my head I think I have six amps four pairs of speakers and a CD player I am not using
    So I need to buy five sources and two pairs of speakers so I can have another six set ups to listen to

    Three of those amps with a pair of speakers each and the CD player could make a good system ?

    I'm about to have a 'cull'. It will be painful as I like it all, but a lot will have to go.

    Difficult to pick what though...maybe a couple of tt's, and a set of speaks would make some room. maybe an integrated too. a couple of carts and an arm or too should have the bank manager happy and you with more room to enjoy.

    I could do with a cartridge and an arm.

    And an amp.

    And a phono stage.

    And then probably another cartridge because by then I'll probably have broken the first one.
