I’m pretty happy with the system as is. We are going to renovate the house in the middle of the year so little will change until that is out of the way. After that, if I am still more or less housebound I will invest some funds in a new system, meaning new amps, T/T, DAC and streamer. The only keepers are speakers and headphone setup. Clearly, I also need more records.

Out - nothing
In - err, nothing, except a potential new dedicated listening room.
No hi-fi set up at the moment and I’m getting withdrawal symptoms. I reckon it will be three months before I get the new room ready for action. No plans to add anything else, unless something breaks!
I’ll start a blog soon to update any progress on the diy conversion attempt.

What needs doing to the room Paul?
Haha, it was a byre and needs a new floor, fully insulating, walls lining, new ceiling, electrics, new doors, etc, etc.
Phew!
Doubt you can just pop down to B&Q either.
Sadly, no. However there are builders merchants in Lerwick.
Tell you what, I’ll start the blog tonight.
