Description

I'm very happy with the system as is....BUT i'm always keeping an eye out for the next piece of the puzzle.

I'm considering a power supply for the turntable (VPI or other) and potentially a new amp. I'd like to try triodes. I'm looking for a stand/rack for the gear. Solid Steel probably.

I'm also going to build a set of open baffle speakers using Electro-Voice 12 inch full range drivers. But these will just be for "playing" as I'm sure my wife would not want them in our living room. Maybe a good excuse to set up another system in the basement!
