Shanling CD-T300 Omega Drive CD Player
Quad 34, FM4, 606, Home made Headphone amp and power supply.
Yamaha AV amp Pioneer Media box & DVD player.
Quad ESL 63 speakers used for both hi-fi and AV front L&R speakers using the pre out of the Yamaha amp via a switch on the input to the Quad 606.
Pioneer 436XDE 43 inch plasma
Cheap subs from Richer sounds, there is one at each end of the settee.

I think the system sounds good, future upgrades will include a better arm and a good phono pre amp. But that will be sometime in the future.

Oooooh....nice, especially the turntable.
Good to see the wee JPW MM's doing service - I got a pair of these off eBay recently for just over a tenner. Fabulous little things...music music music. Not a huge amount else but for that much who cares??

Thanks for the comments about the turntable, we've only had it a couple of months. We are very pleased with it.. We upgraded from a Rega Planer 3 which we got when they came out in 1977 I think. It had the "S" shaped silver arm them.
The JPW spekers are Sonata's I think. I have a pair of the Mini Monitors I use them with my PC.
Sonata's
Mini Monitors. They are on the Sonata stands.
The rest of my computer system, which is in a loft conversion consists of:
Sugden A48 amp, Goldring GL75 with the old Rega arm and cartridge.
Tangent RS4 speakers and or the Mini monitors. With a switchable TEAC sub.
The amp is connected to the PC so I can playback and record to and from the PC.
Baron,
You and your wife have a series of pretty impressive systems.

Hi Baron
I don't know how I missed your set up....very nice. Love the Omega drive, I once had the loan of one for a month....very nice indeed. One thing worth playing with is a platform or say RDC platform for underneath it. I found it to be fussy about what it sat on the best option that doesn't mess up the look would be a set of RDC cups, into which the cones under the player can sit into. You should have a play with some isolation...I know you will be surprised by what you hear.
Mains leads too make a difference with this Shanling as well.

Thanks for the comments Neil, funnily enough I was going to look into isolation, I'll start with a set of the RDC cups I think. I've got my own filtered mains lead/block fitted which seams to work ok.

Hi Baron
The Dais is a fantastic TT I have owned one a couple of years ago, had it fitted with 2 arm boards. One with the NA Ace Space the other a Graham Phantom. If you really want to hear how truely great the Dais can sound I'd give one a serious try.
I have the Feickert alignment guage too, great bit of kit. Love it.
