I am still fairly new here and was waiting until I got a few more components before posting this. This is the current set up in my room:
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with the acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M Red cartridge to Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2. From there it can either go to an old Antique Sound Lab AQ-1003 (previous owner rolled the stock tubes for Prima Luna EL34s and JJ ECC82s) or a Schiit Valhalla 2 (with stock tubes). Vahalla 2 goes to Sennheiser HD600s. The ASL goes to the ugly things below that my friend and its former owner built.
They are 8 ohm Voigt pipe style speakers. They sound all right, and this is a small room so there is not a lot of space to fill. I will eventually swap them out. In the back left, you can see the first and second attempt at Voigt pipe speakers that he made and gave me.
One downside is that it definitely heats up the room. I will also probably go to the thrift store or hardware store to either get end tables or shelves to gt the preamp a little further from the turntable (though it does not seem to put out nearly the amount of heat that the amps do) and reclaim an end table since I no longer have a place to put drinks while in bed.
Next project is to fix a Denon DP-300F whose left channel died. In a year or two I may try rolling tubes. I need to let my pocket book recover a bit first.
