    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking Adrian. Six CD players in there, and I never play CDs anymore... Two cassette decks and two VHS players and don't own any tapes for either! And not had a surround system since 2002!

    A lot of it is junk really, but it is fairly pointless it just sitting in a garage not being used... Brings it into perspective when you see it all in one space!

    Well to me ignoring what each box is you have I think 20 (excluding speakers) and 2 TT's. So say each one is on average sells for £75 then that is quite a chunk to put to a bit of an upgrade for your existing system. I suspect you may get a a bit more for some of those items.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

    Digital:- Marantz SA-KI Pearl CD player, RaspberryPi/HifiBerry Digi+ Pro, Buffalo NAS Drive

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp

    Output: Wilson Benesch Vector speakers, KLH Ultimate One Headphones

    Cables: Tellurium Q Ultra Black II RCA & Chord Epic 2 RCA, various speaker leads, & links


    I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
