TK5E update


Thanks to all for some great info.The system is fired up and running.A Shure RS 10 was on the table and working.I though all was fine.I have really not critically listen to any of my systems for years, kids and stuff.I do go to many live events , mostly symphonic ,The New World Symphony.What hearing I did have was destroyed recently at a Modest Mouse concert.I did install the Signet TK5E as is and I was amazed at the difference.It does seem a bit fragile for the PL12 D but I do think it will work.I have had thoughts of putting it into the main system which has a Thorens TD 125 mk II SME 3009 non detachable, and a Grado gold on it.It seems I am quickly getting the bug back. The Signet is so smooth and open! I will however replace the stylus.

I have ordered a TKN1 stylus from conusaudo.I think with this system(the PL12D )better match.If I decide to put in on my main system,I think the Thorens will be better.However,I seem to listen to the secondary system more,and it is a sweet little system.The 1060 was the first piece of gear I purchased back in 74. I believe the PL12D was my second .So I have LOTS of emotional attachment to them.Also it is a pain in the $#@!%$# to change a cartridge in the SME 3009 NON detachable.Anyway thank all you guys for the info.PS I also purchased a manual record cleaner.Never had one,hear we go.
