Do you have a link for Vinyl Nirvana; I would like to check out his current stock of TD-160's or  TD-166   Does he offer any  warranty for his upgrade work??

Thanks to all for the information. I may need to look at another brand;  Even though, the speakers will only be used  occasionally and as just something to compare.  To czarivey.  I have read the Totem Model I sig  are excellent speakers, but even... 
Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC.
Ziff, I never had Nordost Red Dawn speaker cables, just their Flatline IC. There have seen several positive reviews about their previous  line of speaker cables. Unfortunately when I considered them, they were fairly expensive even used, so I wait... 
Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design??
Finsup   Correction. In paragraph four of the above reply, it should read:... "I have NETHER pulled out my hair...., etc, etc"

Finsup,  Let me state for the record, I don't believe I misunderstood you that Ohm speakers don't let you "listen into the music". Actually from what you and Mapman and some others have said, it seems listeners are immersed in the music and can en...

To Nutty, What particular Cardas IC would you recommend, or know from experience or other members, works well with the Ayre CD player?? Cardas IC's are notoriously expensive, for example, the highly praised Parsec which I think retails for $450; E...

To boofer and tubes 444:,  you have proven without a doubt that the audio vocation, sometimes called a hobby:....... "Is No Country for  grouchy and impatient old men"  I salute you both for your patience, dedication, and hard work.  SJ

finsup....Yes,, I am still in the building or should I say audio asylum (LOL)   You make a very important about the issue of  listening to the system or just enjoying the music. However, if what a listener  hears is edgy in the highs, jumbled in t...

To Audiolabtrinth and  Nutty; I just bought on trade a pair of Harmonic Technology "older" series Truthlink IC's  which are supposed to be superior to its new equivalent. However, I remain open to other IC's, especially if they are known to be com... 
Can "Refurbished" Thorens turntables sound better, and worth taking a chance on??
Thanks to all who have responded so far. Unfortunately, the issue is moot because the  restored Thorens  is sold;  in addition, I was not getting the info needed to make an informed decision.To noromance, Why do you think the 160 is" better than t... 
Can "Refurbished" Thorens turntables sound better, and worth taking a chance on??
Matt, Sounds like good advice, but you should read the ad in the "Turntable" Category  about the retooled and refurbished TD-166. The member's name is 'Highspinner" who seems to have done a worth job on the Thorens   I was impressed that he replac... 
Can "Refurbished" Thorens turntables sound better, and worth taking a chance on??
Thank you to those who replied so quickly. The table I was referring to is under the "turntable" category:  the Thorens TD-166, with an AT-120E cartridge, Obviously, I don't know the seller from Adam, but he has lots  of positive feedback, There i...

So is the Belden with Furutech connectors a better sounding IC than the Canare  LV 61S  interconnects.??  I  called Blue Jean Cables and ordered the Canare interconnect, but the guy who answered the phone must have been either from the accounting ...

To dbp24    Thank you correction; I had an intuition that was not their first album, but nevertheless, it was a great one, combining tuneful and emotive songs.  It is sad that Richard Manuel is gone by suicide; and Levon Helms from cancer.  Like B...
