Gromit's music centre...

Now that, Seppi, is the $64000 question.

Would be great to keep both - they're both fantastic in their own ways. The Sony is soooo powerful, full of control and just seems to have almost limitless headroom with my speakers in my room. It also sounds slightly larger than the Exposure, and is definitely less music-dependant (ie just play what you like through - it just gets on with it). The Exposure just makes me want to leap around like a loon.

And the Sony has remote control - just so damn convenient.

Two systems it is then

If you have a streamer, aka Sonos / Squeezebox you could then control the volume by iThing but for vinyl you are already out of your seat every few mins so the remote matters not
