I have Samsung's LED curved television and a set of Polk Audio's signature speakers that make up the bulk of my home entertainment room. I also have various AI-empowered devices that have been gifted to me over the years. Some are more useful than others. My record player is a Planar by Rega. It wasn't the easiest turntable to get going, since I had a problem getting the tonearm and cartridge aligned correctly. About 10 instructional YouTube videos later and I have a turntable that sounds like a dream. It's an upgrade from the U-Turn Orbit record player that I had before.
Everyone loves gear porn. What's your setup like?

My main setup is 2channel audio. With cd player, dac, radio tuner, which I hardly use anymore. And my main squeeze, the turntable. That being a Technics 1200. I like absolute speed control, which is unwavering with it, and it's ease of setup and use. I like tube gear too, so I have tube preamp and amplifiers, but also a couple of solid state amps. Currently I hooked up my old Hafler 220 amp for summer use as the tube amps put out more heat than I want to overcome with the hvac system. I gotta say, the old Hafler, vintage about 1986 still proves to be a stellar performer. Little bit of hum from the big transformer, but it throws out a pleasing powerful sound. I think some of the older gear can run circles around this new age stuff.
