Cool stuff!!  I should do that, get new speakers and a tube amp at least to get things going.

Corngrats!
What exactly did you get?
Which TT will it be later on. Any plans so far?

Thanks!
I got Linn Ninka speakers and the Naim Uniti (first generation).
As for the turntable: the friend who organised the components for me will make a recommendation. He knows my budget and thus will find the best solution.

Are you planning to activate them?
There are offers on eBay and on Kleinanzeigen for the mono cards that have to be build in.
But in this case you would need a fitting Linn power amp too!

@godflesh how’s that Moonsorrow compare to the original pressing? I have been tempted to get it to complement my old black copy but need more info

[Godflesh]

I haven't got around to listening any of these new babies yet, haha

I got a great mess around the house still and the speakers and the turntable have sadly been in the closet for the last four months. I hope to get them back into use at least before March. My to-be-listened list of my new vinyl has grown quite intimidatingly.

[hugo]

Haha I know! I have 52 records I got and haven’t played PLUS the SYL testpress :c

Maybe - but if so: only in due time. ;-) . I'd have to talk about pros and cons with my friend - and then have the fundings for it, too. Turntable comes first either way.
