My first rig

snuffeluffeg

Hack the Planet!
This is my first rig of reasonable quality that, through lurking here, you all helped me piece together. How do you think I did? Any tips for additional components I may want to look into? Thanks for any advice or comments!

Reciever/Amp = Pioneer SX 780 (serviced 2 years ago)

TT = Pioneer PL510A with a new Shure M35x cartridge (I listen to a lot of EDM, but it's playing some Bach at the moment)

Speakers = JBL ES20's

I've also got an external aux selector, a BlueTooth reciever, my computer, and my Sansa Clip + hooked up to the aux port.

Here are some pics as well; though, the quality is lacking.

You did well, you have all good solid pieces from what I can see.
What is next? Not knowing your living situation, I would go out on a limb and suggest a powered sub to help those JBLs out. Spec sheet says 60hz, I'm not sure you would even get that unless their placement and your room was optimal. Not an earth shattering sub, or downstairs neighbors complaining kind of sub..just a front firing kind of thing with an 8" driver or two, to give you a little additional depth.
If not that, I would consider a USB dac between the computer and the receiver. Get a very important step away from the processor and fan noise in the computer case.
