rikintpa,  Thanks for the comment, but I recently owned a refurbished and and upgraded Thorens TD-145 . The TP-16 tonearm is junk, and the headshell makes it difficult to mount a cartridge from the bottom up I had to buy a new one for 85.00 from V...

Moon 110 LP phono pre-amp?? Is this a good valuable or is there better for less??

To mesch: I owned a Sonograph TT in 1988 when I was able to buy my first high end system.   It was a nice little table. I eventually moved up to VPI HR 19 Jr TT, when VPI provided a dustcover and even a set Allen wrenches to adjust the tonearm hei...

Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? .
To mesch,   Thank you.  I have only put a few hours on CJ 14L SE pre-amp but am impressed by the improvements in sound quality  . Today I switched back to the Golden Ear Technology 's model 7 from the Denton 80's.  The pre-amp seemed to tame the h...
