| Another New Member Looking for Advice (preamp and speaker setup) Go to RMAF. It'll be worth the road trip. You'll likely discover there are far more musically satisfying speakers out there than anything B&W produces.B&Ws are designed as a HT/music compromise, as most big-name towers are. | |

| Thorens TD 166 mk2 Good deal. Enjoy the table. I use a hot-rodded 166 MKii in my second system. They can compete with $1500 tables all day. | |
| Thorens TD 166 mk2 You need to do this so you can get rid of that transformer:http://www.theanalogdept.com/images/spp6_pics/TT%20manuals/Thorens/svc_man145_160_165web/Page07%20copy.gif You also need the 60Hz motor pulley. | |
| Thorens TD 166 mk2 The problem is you have a 50Hz motor, you need the 60Hz motor. | |
| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II Replying to hemotech comments about dacs sound the same they dont.Most certainly do when level matched. Well designed units will measure the same as well. But go ahead and be a sucker for a heavy/shiny chassis. I'll put my money in speakers where ... |
