Infuriate the frog-men
Good here innit?!
My wholly humble system is:-
Rega Planar 3 (RB300 & Super Bias)
Rega Planet (original)
NAC 42
SNAPS
NAP 90
Linn Kans (original woody ones) - best value hifi component EVER!
Sounds wonderful - no plans (or dosh) for major upgrades but a new cartridge is needed asap and I woudn't mind changing the olive 90 for a chrome 110 or 140 at some point soon. Other than that I've got a 'stack' of vinyl and a 'spindle' (?) of CDs that I've not listened to yet - I need more time hence I should stop fannying around on hifi forums and dreaming of LP12s, NAC552s etc!
Cheers

i can finally play this game! i've had my CD5 just a week now (thanks Shtevo)...
Naim CD5
LFD Int 0
Epos ES11s
SoundOrg-style mediocre copy tripod stand.
i've had the amp and speakers for around 8 years with no [real] source, so to have the CD5 is just fab! but i can see myself with a FC2 on it, and doing something serious about the amp and rack.
i'm about to throw 7m of NACA5 at it to replace the original QED79 but that's probably a minor thing.
just pleased to have a great sounding entry level system, finally!

Wow! Some great systems here: I desire a Gyrodek even more now...
Main room:
Linn LP12/Lingo1/Ekos 2/Arkiv B/Linto
Naim CDS1New Burndy connection)
Pioneer PD609 CD recorder
Exposure 14 pre amp/14 Pro power supply
2 x Exposure 16 mono power amps
Passive Isobariks (1985)
Equipment sits on basic Sound Org stands
Second system:
Systemdek II900XE/Rega RB250/Goldring 1042 (all modified by Definitive Audio - acrylic platter, etc.)
Micromega Solo
Exposure 21RC pre amp
Exposure 4DR power amp
Acoustic Energy AE1 Mk 1's
2 x REL Quake subwoofers
Equipment sits on a beautiful Wilson Benesch carbon/glass stand.
Will be looking to sell the Systemdek and buy the aforementioned Gyrodek, and have spoken to Avondale about a future Naim CDS conversion. But only if I sell stuff first (anybody desire a Korg Polysix synthesiser?)
Great looking forum...

Flat stuff:
LP12/Valhalla/Cirkus/Origin Live Illustrious/Ortofon Kontrapunct b
Teak P30
Theta Chroma 396 DAC
Nakamichi 680ZX
Sony MDS-503 Minidisk (OK, not flat but ...)
X-Clef HD 800 MP3 player (also not flat but very handy)
Kairn
Aktiv Crossover
3 LK140's
PMS Isobariks
Linn interconnects and 'speaker cable
Round Stuff:
Lexicon MC12
2 LK140's Aktiv Tukans SL/SR
1 LK140 Aktiv 5120 Centre
1 LK140 Passive Tukans RL/RR
Rel Strata II Sub
Pioneer 606D DVD
Pioneer CLD-D925 LD
Linn interconnects and 'speaker cable apart from RL/RR which uses QED Silver to hide it in trunking.
approx 1.5kW in total, the neighbours love it.
Desires:
New cartridge - don't know what yet, possibly Ortofon
Play with PMS Isobariks - saving and watching ePay
EDIT. August 2003: Removed Tunebox/Aktiv Kabers. Added PMS Isobariks, triamped by 3 LK140. Some dreams do come true
EDIT. October 2003: Bigger grin - Aktiv Isobariks. Don't feel the need for a new cartridge any more.
EDIT. January 2004: Klyde died so downgraded(?) to a Denon DL 103 to see what it's like.
EDIT. June 2005: X-Clef HD800 birthday present added.
EDIT. November 2005: Ortofon Kontrapunct b (another dream come true) instead of the Denon DL-103 (munted but not on purpose, honest)

Its all sadly similar to Jason's really:
WT RP (Sooooo much better than a big Linn, ha, ha)
DV xx2
DV P100 phono
Densen 400XS (Stupidly better than a CDS2 and a third the price)
DV L100 (Laughably more enjoyable tha 82/SC and less lunch box than the DNM)
DV HX1.2 (better than Jason's poxy amp and a world beater)
O'Heocha ISO5s (I'm strangely attached to Smashy and Nicey). They're on Mana, Base,
Chipboard and Pulsar Points, mainly for storage)
Hutter (so much more 'musicality' than that stuff I had before)
Mic cable ICs and Isolda speaker wire
3 Spurs
Various RPG Foams
Love it!
I also have a Rotel 1070 and AE1s with a 32.5/110 in between.
