Thanks for the warm welcome chaps!!
Again I appreciate your knowledge. I've been collecting records for the last 24 years and I've never had a decent system. Heard so many great things about the heresies, I've not yet collected. So hoping for great things.
My set up is unconventional, as I have a valve Dj mixer (recent purchase), connected to the marantz which will eventually have some Klipsch speakers. The focus has always been on the music, so the equipment has always been a crazy ramshackle of kit until the last year. I am complete newbie, as I've never experienced decent sound and wonder if my ears are up to the challenge.
