2017 - would like to find one of the higher grade Accustic Arts integrated for sensible money, but other than that Iām pretty happy.
Now with added realism
Paul, give him a break. There is no way heās going to be able to remember all the changes made in a whole calendar year to that system

2017 no real changes except get the speaker crossovers external. And the small matter of a loft conversion. Still really happy with how it sounds
So true.
Speakers
In Westrex wesstar 100, lowther tp1,
Out: wolf Von worthless. Oracle vitavox / westrex
Still nothing working in stereo - why must I cry ?
Slightly disappointed to say:-
Ten class A Sugden watts handle the Ref3A RV much better than itās worth spending about.
Agility at low volume does it for me, domestically.
Main system, just added a second M&K sub. Other systems,
In ARC 050, db101, Michell ISO, Audio Synthesis phono, Moth phono, Primate 928, Linn LP12/Lingo/Ekos/Troika, another Linn Troika, Supex SM100E, Pink Triangle, Rega RB200, second Technics SP10 mk2, Helius Cylene, another Wheaton Tri-Planar (Mk4) arm, Naim NAP160, Naim snaps, Carver d400, Pioneer a400, AudioMods Micrometer Mk4, IncaTech Claymore, Sunfire Sub, B&K sub, JBL L86, Naim NAC42/NAP110, Audio Synthesis DA-X, 2 x Kelvin Labs amps, Teac D700/P700, Audio Synthesis ADX, Threshold S300 other stuff I canāt remember.

This year - fancy playing with some cheapāish DD decks. Anybody got anything they donāt need kicking about ?
Not much for me last year
Out: Triangle Titus TZX, Cable Talk 3.1, Rotel RT-950BX
In: Triangle Heliade ES, Van Damme Black series 4x4mm, Chromecast Audio, lots of vinyl.
For 2017 I really only fancy a change of amps. Possibly a tube integrated or maybe a passive pre/tube power combo. Dunno. Iāll have to get myself to a few bake-offs.

Plans for 2017
New ply base for SP10
SME IV or V for the Orbe
Copper mat for the SP10
Sell the Vitus and a couple of DACs
Most likely keep the LVs.
Just need to find a local Avantgarde fan to buy the Finos
Nick doesnāt like to put all the changes on a forum in case Hmrc are monitoring
Looking forward to properly trying my oldnew B & W DM4ās.
Mostly I will be trying to buy more LPās and listen to more music in general rather than faffing with kitā¦
I donāt think I changed anything last year.
This year Iād like to flog my Primare amp and maybe buy a Naim Uniti Atom with the optional HDMI ARC input.
And some new headphones, because my old ones are cream crackered.
And maybe a Chord Mojo.
Nothing changed in 2016. Iād dearly like it all to change in 2017, but right now thatās not looking too likely. A basic turntable is probably the most likely option, but itāll be right at the bottom of the ladder quality wise I suspect.
Just added an Amazon echo dot, lol
Might be relocating later this year, so depending on available space, might mean some down or upsizing !
The Pro-Ject Primary is amazingly good/liveable with for the dosh.
Or if Narelle lets me upgrade, my Pro-Ject Debut III thatās been SEād might suit you
