Description

Well this is my system, I am 15 and have been into the hobby for a little under a year now. Just bought the shanling and am really happy with it. I am still not certin if I am going to go with a cd player or tt as a main source. The thing I am worried about with a turntable is the ammount of time I use my system (70 hours a week!). I would like everyone's ideas on what to upgrade first. I currently have $1500 and am planning on spending it on speakers, but if you feel that money is best spend elsewhere let me know.

I love how my system sounds, good bass output, good midrange, killer highs (sometimes too shrill though). Somethings that bug me are the backround noise durring high level listen (rarely listen at high levels, usally only around 70db) I belive this problem has to do with the cdp and interconectors.

So basically I am looking for sugestions on the next upgrade. Be it Speakers (which is what I think will help the most), CD player or turntable (i have equal ammounts of cd's and lp's), or whatever else you suggest.

Already bought new speakers, at the vtv expo this last weekend. I will update my system once my custom built stand are finished. Thanks for the advice, I am going to buy some cables, soon. I am thinking about spending around $500 for everything

web design done at home (while listening to music) it affords me to spend plenty of money. I also enjoy it quite abit
