Is it just my computer?

I recently posted about my desire for a sub-$2000 dollar bedroom vinyl source stereo system. I am grateful for all the advice I was given. However, I'm wondering how musical of a system I could get with what I already have. I have a Technics SL-D2 Turntable that I am currently running through a BBE phono preamp into the aux input of a Bose Wave CD player.

I have a pioneer SX-780 receiver in the garage that can be repaired for $100. Is it worth it? If so all I would really need to buy would be speakers. Any advice there? Thanks.

I love the letter to the editor about you "old farts" that recommend everything from an amp that blew up to a magic marker to write on CDs. That was a great read!

I need a list of reasonably priced acoustic suspension bookshelf speakers less than 6". Can do?

I have a Primaluna Prologue 1 that I'm running with a pair of Tetra 120U bookshelves, and a cambridge audio 740C CD player. I'm new to tubes and looking to switch out the stock tubes, any recommendations? Also looking to upgrade my speaker wire - anyone have any recommendations on what would pair well with the Primaluna?

Thanks!

I'm loving when the subjective accidentally meets the objective in these discussions. At this point, I am flat out dying to hear SAS Audio gear.

Dude, and amps too?

SAS flits easily from the realm of listening to his creations to the objective aspect of what's going on.

Can't ask for more input than that.

SAS, time for an amp and integrated.

I know I'd sign on!
