I looooove my hifi...I have an NAD surround T773 surround with the original British Celestion Ditton 44 as front speakers, Celestion DL6 as surround side speakers and Celestion TL10 as rear surround speakers...
...using a Rega Planar 3 turntable modified with isolated motor and rewired modified tonearm with solid silver wire; and a NAD C565BEE CD upsampling player ... for the home theatre setup... (its unfortunate the neighbour is not as appreciative of good hifi sound as I am)
...then I have an ME modified 550 amp by the designer Peter Stein, which I further modified with solid silver strips on the speaker output...coupled with a valve pre-amp I am in the process of building..., with my own version of an improved Rega Planar 3 ... with a solid slate slab and modified RB250 tonearm with solid silver wiring and isolated motor assembly...., for the 'private stereo only' listening room for vinyl LP's....super I must say....
I will be using ARCAM II speakers, I have remodified with Ansar solid silver capacitors for the crossovers (as I have for the Celestion Ditton 44's) and solid silver strips annealed for the speaker internals, as I have also done with my ProAC 'tablettes' (and Ditton 44's) which are a brilliant vocal speaker with a 'to die for' vocal stereo imaging character in sound reproduction...
...so one really needs to build and design a house around ones home surround and stereo system...to be realistic....overall...

...for anyone interested in modifying a Rega Planar 3 turntable with minimal cost but super gain --- read this thread I started: however you will need to join (free) to see the images: Rega Planar 3/2 - Significant modifications - diyAudio
...absolutely..., once you have a good analogue, it kills digital because it is based on natural circular 'sine-wave' rather than jagged square digital waves...
...saying that, the square waves - once smoothed out to an 'almost analogue' sound, can sound very distinct and crystal clear, but that natural element can't be beat with the analogue sound when properly done...
...I love my NAD565BEE upsampling CD player, but seriously....the Rega Planar 3 LP turntable (modded) kills it..., hands down...

You're preaching to the converted. I love vinyl. I have never modified a turntable or payed over 200 dollars for one but even so, it beats digital in my opinion already. I was wondering about the tone arm because I was told once that a heavy tone arm can destroy the grooves in your vinyl records. Is that true?
...you adjust the tonearm weight with precision jewellers scales. It all depends on the cartridge you use. The Rega RB300 I modified is a medium mass tonearm and suits a number of cartridges...I typically am using about 1.85 grams at present with my Shure MJ75 cartridge with Hyper elliptical stylus, but have an Ortofon 2M Blue ready in the waiting...
...but my own slate version of the Rega Planar 3 (with modded RB250 arm - better still), will have at least an Ortofon 2M Bronze version or preferably a MC cartridge like the Ortofon Rhondo Red or similar. I also am building a valve phono preamp via the Cornet2 design ( Hagerman Technology LLC: Cornet2 Vacuum Tube Moving Magnet Phonostage DIY Kit ) which will be super again...

Ok, so, here's the low-down on MissCris's eating habits (FASCINATING stuff, I'm telling you...):
I drink coffee from sun-up to...whenever I stop, sometimes noon, sometimes sun-down.
Sometimes I eat half a pop-tart in the morning to set a "good" example for my son if he's refusing breakfast.
I eat lunch. Or I don't. Depends on if I'm really busy or not, usually.
I always eat dinner. I eat a LOT of dinner if someone else cooks it.
I strongly believe that ice cream cures a lot of things; crankiness, sleepiness, stress, and also ice cream cravings. And so I eat ice cream as often as I have it available in my freezer to eat...which is usually about 1 container a week. Or less. I don't know.
I'm not the size of a house, maybe, but since I don't believe in exercise, and I eat so strangely, I'm not particularly thin. And...
You've just been "educated" haha.
