Thorens 160MKII BC Grace 707 + F9????
@lewm @jallan  Thank you both for the information and insights.  My basic system currently is a naim nait 50th running out to some martin logans.  The naim is incredibly clear. I am worried that with the wrong choice it may shrill at the top en...

@elliottbnewcombjr I think the mounting shaft for the 707 is 20-25. had a look for the acos but no where to be found to even have a look!   @lewm  I had read (audiokarma?) that the compliance would not be a good fit. But what do i know. Hence t...
