Like all music accept opera! My next plans are a decent phono stage and turntable for my vinyl collection
Very tidy looking system there Richard, plenty of people here can offer advice on starting out on your turntable journey.
Technics SL1210 with
SME IV Arm & AT OC9XML,
Firebottle modded Tron Convergence Phono Stage,
Bluesound Node 2i, Technics SL DZ 1200 CD
Denon PMA1700ne amp
Yamaha NS1000M Speakers.
Nice looking system.
My first piece of upgrade advice is to put a shirt on when taking pics of shiny surfaces
