Guys thanks a lot for the suggestions, I am mulling over these and thinking what I will do in terms of sources... maybe will spend less on a CD player upgrade and get a better turntable (as my main listening is classical from vinyl).

Badchamp it is really very kind of you to offer, and perhaps I will PM you and take you up on your offer. I know xmas is coming so this is perhaps not a good time to be pestering. Also as I said I am not sure i will spend much on a cd player given my latest thoughts...

Will be nice to get together sometime regardless and talk about this sweet vice that is  hifi if you want.

Cheers,

Jack
