Nice list!
You don't need any amps, because the speakers are active (the amps are built in).
Another thing I would get are some decent cables. With a set-up like that, ty cables are not the way to go.
And where the feck did you get all the money to buy a set-up like this? You must have been working all year for this. |

damn kid. nice startup. i am envious of the xone:92.
Go with S (Spherical) needles on Concorde. The NightClub S or the Pro S will suit you fine (I would go with NightClub though) |

if you love your records, get spherical styli ;)
eliptical will get better sound quality, but with high record wear. by the looks of the list of stuff you are getting, you can probably afford a pair of eliptical styli as a spare pair for use when recording ;) |

good god!!!! Nice setup. Btw, i personally like elipical stili instead of spherical, imo the nightclub-e does less record damage than the regular.
A couple of things your missing: 1-headphones, 2-good power conditioner.
For headphones, try each out and decide for yourself.
As for power conditioners, i like Furman, so check the link:

Thanks for the recommendations guys... please keep them coming!
Any debate on FS 2.0 vs. Rane vs. anything else out there?

I use Hosa Cables. They are really tough, and sound great.
You will need some basic RCA cables, like these:
These are needed to connect your turntables to your mixer.
If you want to use Finalscratch, you'll probably need one with a 3.5 mm jack and two RCA connectors too.
Here's a link for more info:
