Looks rubbish fella, you should get yourself a PC server and some active speakers. Much nicer and you can use the grey box as a warm footstool too

Cheers lad! I used to have an Arcam system almost the same as yours in fact.

You made a decision on the turntable yet? It's not hang around forever at that price you know.

Yep they are ugly but knowing that I bought them for £1200 brand new when the RRP is approximately £8000 helps me live with them.

Re: Photos of my system

Aye, its like The Flintstones here: turntable, VCR, CRT! God knows why I still have a VCR - I can't even remember the last time I used it. I'm waiting for Freeview HD before I buy a LCD / Plasma TV. I don't watch that much on DVD.  Given  Ashley James' recent comments on Joel's thread I should be funding it by selling my gramophone.

Wow! There`s some serious kit in your system. Nice one.


You`ll be pleased to know I still own a CRT (was about to buy a Philips but now I`ve heard about LED backlighting and shall wait until they do a 37" model) AND a VCR!


P.S. Did you borrow that record from Chebby?

All my T+A gear was bought direct from the outgoing distributor a few years ago through a friend of mine who was doing alot of business with them. They sold me all of it for approximately what they paid for them.

Hell...no - its a limited edition Ting Tings LP. Chebby's thoughts on them,


 "A Ting Tings CD I bought for my youngest sounded pretty dire but she likes it so thats OK. She is 15. She listens to everything on an iPod so I ended ended up looking after the CD after she ripped it."

Fantastic looking system. I would really, really like the space to be able to have large speakers driven by valve kit. Enjoy every second of it. Smile

Good to see that Distorted Vision has his priorities in the right place!

Love your system, but my favourite thing is the seven remote controls.

As I said they were the outgoing distributor at the time. They dropped T+A along with Myrad from their brand portfolio at the time. It was a thank you for helping my mate out with his business.

Re: Photos of my system

Lovely system. Would a universal remote work with your system, so you don't need the 7 you have on the table?
