I put most of this system together prior to 2008 when the kids came along. Life happened and finding time to enjoy it was sporadic, but consistent. It wasn't until the COVID lockdown that I had the time and inclination to revisit and upgrade the system.
I added my first turntable in early 2020 and haven't looked back. I did replace the old CD player with an updated transport, but I'm still chasing the vinyl and enjoying every minute of it.
Would like to see pic of your system when you can. I too found the need for my sub less so with the addition of the VSA jr's. They are indeed a special speaker.
