Description

I say I'm done but I would love to upgrade my table to the Aries 3. I'll probably keep the Scout a few more years and upgrade to the 300 RPM motor and buy a new armwand and second cartridge. I may also pick up the SDS. My next purchase will be a cleaning machine.

On the digital front I'm torn between upgrading to the Marantz SA-15 or buying a Rega Appollo for Red Book playback.

I'm looking to replace the Cardas Cross interconnects with Cardas Neutral Reference and will probably go with Neutral Reference speaker cables in 2007 as well.

Most of my listening is classic jazz with some classical & classic rock. I listen to vinyl 3 times as much as digital.
