This system has seen numerous changes. I used to own CEC gear (3300r Amplifier and CD player), a Musical Fidelity X-LP phonostage, a NAD C325BEE amp, and a Music Hall MMF 2.1 turntable with an entry level Grado cartridge.

I am very happy with what I now have, particularly considering that I am in on a tight budget (Nottingham and Naim front ends bought on consignment, phonostage was a floor model, and I got my speakers for half price from my Uncle who owned a pair).

Once I heard Naim gear I knew I had to have it. The turntable sounds wonderful as well. In terms of tweaks the tonearm has a Clear Audio Turbo counterweight on it, and I use Herbie's Way Excellent Turntable Mat, a Clear Audio Clever Clamp, and the Nitty Gritty Record Doctor III record cleaning machine with the three-step Audio Intelligent fluid. I also got rid of the stock tubes on the phonostage and added reissue Tung Sol 12ax7s. I suggest you try them out if you tube roll. I use the Tara Labs interconnect for the phonostage and DVD player and the Naim DIN standard connector for the CD player. Almost a decade ago my father and I made my equipment stand using popular wood.

If I were to upgrade in the future I would target the turntable, arm, cartridge, and/or phonostage. In terms of the table I am thinking along the lines of Rega or something else that might sound good through the Naim integrated. I think I could get a lot of mileage (with less cash) out of upgrading the arm or cartridge, and when necessary the phonostage. I welcome your comments or suggestions.
