Finally found a Technics receiver SA-EX100 and CD player SL-PS770R to add to the SL-DL1 turntable and RS-M215 cassette deck, playing through a pair of KEF speakers. Hooked up the spare PC via the VCR in/out sockets, Last.FM now sounds so much better
.
Probably a better line up than that rarely used in the lounge, Pioneer Receiver, Garrard deck and a CD player.
I can now hopefully get on with transferring some of my Vynil LP collection onto CD and try to edit out any minor cracks and pops before they get any worse.
I've also got remote controls for the set up, so no breaking my neck falling across the room to reduce volume when the phone goes.
