Description

Bitten by hi-fi bug in 1999 have since evolved to what you see here. All peices bought used with the exception of speakers thanks to my best friend who's hand me downs I will gladly accept. Speakers will be replaced later this yr or early next yr. I am leaning towards a set of energy varitas 1.8 used of course thanks again dear friend, or taking the plunge on a new pair of dynaudio contour S 3.4. not sure what would be better so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am also upgrading cable as well as interconnects and am leaning toward the mit shotgun series again any ideas? The turntable was bought recently I thought I would explore vinyl. Isn't this a wonderful hobby.

System edited: Have moved television out of room and man what a difference. Do not have a dedicated listening room but this will do for now. Find I am now enjoying vinyl much more than cd.

Thanks for the comments. I have always been partial to the paradigm speakers as this is the only speaker brand I have ever known, and they are not being replaced just for the sake of the upgrading bug I am more than happy with their preformance. I do intend to upgrade both speaker and interconnect cables in the very near future but do have to be somewhat budget minded I not sure what the used market holds or if this would be the way to go with cables, any advice? I have no problem buying used as sometimes this provides more bang for the buck and I know what I'm getting since it is my best friend who I am dealing with lol. He does plan on upgrading his speakers and I would be more than happy to take his set of energy varitas 1.8's. As far as the music collection goes I have always tended to spend most of my disposible income on music and movies although i only have a 2 channel setup. I tend to listen to almost every genre of music with the exception being dance, most rap, and techno, also not alot of classical for the time being everything else I own and listen to on a regular basis. Again any suggestions?

Thanks for your response and the XBOX was bought used as well. I am renting at this time and have a bsmt suite with a low ceiling and although the size of the room is not an issue I am concerned about spending money on accoustic treatments unless I can get some bang for the buck.
