Hi guys,

I'm a newbie to the forum.

I was lucky enough in my youth to have a Marantz amplifier and CD player along with some Cyrus 780 speakers. The Marantz stuff gave up the ghost after about 10 years but the speakers remain, alongside some nice Mission floorstanders.

Over the past 10 years I've been consuming music through my computer and ipod. The sound quality is a real issue so I decided to embark on building a decent system. I like the idea of giving a new lease of life to vintage basics alongside some modern accessories, I don't know how it will pan out but my budget won't stretch to buying modern high end stuff.

I've purchased a Sansui AU-317 Amplifier as part of a job-lot which came with a Sansui TU-S5 and a Sansui SC-1110 Cassette Deck (I have an eclectic taste in music and some releases are coming out on cassette again!!).
