I just realized how far from "high quality" playback I have....

What would be a nice integrated amp to start with? To run into my JBL L100's maybe?



buy Shawns Mambo intigrated amp.  built in DAC.  very nice piece.
its a little beat up cosmeticaly, but not where you'll see (it used to be mine, and got trashed by UPS in shipping to shawn).  but everything is in working order and it still looks good from the front.
I bet he can set you up w/a nice deal.

minty ones used go in the $450-700 range typically and are worth *every* penny.

I haven't decided to sell yet. I'm just thinking about it. weighing out the options right now. thinking either a new amp or new speakers... or sell it all for a smoking headphone rig.

Rega P1 with glass platter and Cambridge Audio 540p phono pre that I am purchasing from macdaddy. The phono pre was Nick's Pick's at one point, good ts.com genes ;)

Christian Dylan rules.  And on vinyl...on your system....you might have to nail me to your wood floors to keep me from driving down to C. Springs and wandering into a megachurch.   ;)
One shortcut to all this BS is simply to let anyone buy into the Medacare Program for $300 a month. 

Medacare is already set up, already has covered surgeries and procedures, and other than allowing Medacare to bargain collectively with Drug Companies, it is an off the shelf program.

exactly, so why do we need a new bill?

looks good, tim - have fun, and +t for the new toys...

make sure you get a vinyl cleaner/cleaning system sooner than later, otherwise you will prematurely wear out the cartridge, esp. using used discs...
