UPdates:
Squeezebox changed to a Touch model

Classe integrated amp replaced with an Ayre AX7e integrated. Very noticeable positive difference in overall musicality, bass, clarity of vocals.

Acoustic Zen balanced interconnect between W4S Dac 2 and Ayre.

Next and maybe last update to reach retirement system - maybe a set of Avalon Idea speakers?

Nothing too much in the works right now Lapierre! Just enjoying the music. One of those Wyred 4 Sound music servers might be nice in the future.

Thanks, we are all loving it, including the dog who seems to favour Melody Gardot and like jazz singers! Adding power cords and dedicated lines has really opened up this system.

Nope, have not got around to this yet. Something I have not done before either. Classe has a button that separates the amp/preamp so I'll have to do that and give a listen. I'll let you know.

Ah well it left many years ago when I moved and had little space for it. Had a Dual 510, with Shure M95ED cartridge - my first REAL stereo, which included Yamaha 6 receiver and large Advent utility speakers. I actually sold that turntable 15 years later for about the same price I paid for it back in the 70's.
Gave all my albums to a friend who had a Linn Basik turntable. It crosses my mind occasionally, but no space for the albums currently and none as I think about retiring and downsizing more in a few years. Given more space, I sure could see a cute little red REGA p3 being a nice addition.

Many changes later, system sings!

Many changes made and we are very pleased with the results.
