The dbx SNR-1 on the bottom of the pile was originally made as a sound reduction device for tape, but is also excellent for dropping the noise floor on vinyl. I use this regularly for playback and ripping. Above that is the external phono stage (Art DJ PreII) that allows me to do that. There's also a spare Maverick D1 DAC and dbx 200 switcher. And ... drumroll please ... Devo Plasma Ball!
