my parents and girlfriend want to know what i want for xmas.
my components:
sources:
pc (via USB to m-audio fast track recording interface)
directv dvr
pioneer pl-707 turntable with grado green cart **might be a tech 1200mk2 soon**
amplification:
NAD 7520PE (via preout) **might have questionable phono section**
Alesis RA150 amp
speaks:
B&W 600 bookshelves with stands
jbl shitty sub
i know my sub needs to be set on fire but i am trading a guitar amp for a much nicer unit (either paradigm or velodyne), depending on which sounds better to me.
i dont want people to spend lots of money on me, but i thought these units might be a considerable upgrade from my current config.

thanks!!
