@musicbee, thank you for the nice words. I intend to get the best out of my room first, before I upgrade any of the equipment. I can't upgrade the room (heh heh), but I'm definitely going to try and milk it to the max. Next weekend, I'm going to build two acoustic panels (for each side of the room) for the first-reflection points. If I see good enough results, I'm going to do the same for the wall behind the speakers and behind my listening position.
In any case, LP purchases itself have killed my wallet. I (unfortunately) have located a source for Speaker's Corner Records very near my house. They have very little ready stock, but I still saw 3 Blues records I wanted very much. Since I've already burnt a HUGE hole in my pocket, all I can do is look and drool. It looks as if I will have to limit all future cash outflow to either LP purchases or upgrades. Both will definitely not happen.
Off topic but this system works to get the best out of your room. Priced very high unfortunately but I've heard it at a friend's and the before and after difference was huge after the digital room correction.
You'll also need to get a dedicated Mac for it.

. Can I buy the CNC phonostage from you since you now have the Cambridge Audio phono-pre? I ask because I really liked the way it sounded in my system and though I built yours, I have somehow not found the time to completed the kit that I ordered for myself. Only if you don't want it ofcourse
