I've placed this post here as I like 2 chan sound and also it includes a turntable :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Spare Room Set up
-----------------

At Present
----------

Technics SL1210mk2 with Ortofon DJ Cart

Cambridge Audio SP103 AMP

Celestion DL4 MK2 speakers

Rega FSC Quattro Speaker Cable

QED Profile Stereo Jack to Phono Cable 3meters.

Windows 7 Pc Running JRiver media player through Creative Audio X-fi xtreme gamer soundcard.


Tweaks or upgrades wanted
-------------------------

The Deck upgrades (in order of pref)
------------------------------------

Ortofon 2M Red sylus to replace the DJ one on it.
Deck serviced
Tone arm re-wired (a member here has emailed me already, saving up!)
New feet for the deck.
Acromat platter.
Have designed a wooden case for it, just need to price up the oak and find a good sawmill (luxury upgrade)

The Amp
-------
A different one!! lol

I am going for the retro look and sound in this room, as the living room has the new kit in it!

Any suggestions on an amp would be appreciated, to match speakers and create a warm sound.

The Living Room Set up
----------------------

Samsung S650 LCD
Mini T T-Amp (TA2020)
Beresford Caimen TC7520Se DAC
Monitor Audio BX2 Bronze Speakers
QED RCA connect
QED 42 strand speaker cable
tiVO box
PS3 (set to 44.1hz output for audio disc)
Standard Optical cable

tivo and ps3 feed tv
tv feeds DAC
DAC feeds AMp
AMP feed speakers
Speakers feed ears

Need to pick up pair of 55cm tall Misson speaker stands, which are filled with sand, have spikes.

Really chuffed with the livingroom set up and will not be making any changes at all.

The spare room is going to be my baby and any pointers, tips, tricks or general know how is welcome.

Bear in mind I am not a Richard Branson, so don't have a lot of disposable income.

A big thanks goes to RichB, fellow AoS member, for assisting with this, and replying to all my text messages.
