Hey all,
Long time lurker, it has been forever since I posted.
This is my system. I like it and have few complaints. However I just left a long and painful relationship and want to reward myself a bit with an upgrade as I was happy just to have been able to keep everything.
At the bottom is an imgur album with photos of each item, and all the specs I could find online are there as well.
What should I replace or upgrade? My gut says the pre-amp as it is noisy and could use a thorough cleaning, but I can also clean it up and maybe spend actual $$ elsewhere.
TL,DR! If this was yours tomorrow, what goes out the door first?
Recommendations are appreciated but are not the priority.
Equipment:
PRO-JECT Debut Carbon Turntable - Bought new, excellent condition
Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge and Needle - Came with turntable
PS Audio 4.5 Pre-Amp - Bought used and for pretty cheap from a well-known hi-fi guy in San Diego. Needs work, it is full of static
Kenwood KMF-X9000 Amplifier - Bought new in ~2004 while stationed overseas, matches the speakers
Kenwood LS-V730 Speakers - Bought new in ~2004 while stationed overseas, matches the amp
Yamaha YST-SW160 Powered Subwoofer - Bought on Craigslist for $25 about 3 months ago
