Funny I remember stumbling onto an audio website looking for a new CD player. I was not listening to music much anymore and I thought that my interest had evaporated.A real audio world re-opened. Soon I saw that I was right – others thought records did sound better. Unfortunately by that time my young daughter had destroyed my cartridge on my old Thorens 160. And a basement flood ruined my records.
The first thing that I did was get a Fisher 500C and get another Thorens 160 (MKII). And with the guidance of some net friends I began to ask all of the beginner questions hoping to capture the glories of S.E.T. amplification: “can use my old speakers (90bd), or if I get efficient speakers can I use my old amp….”
Any way, through the generosity of some of those friends I have Foreplay/Paraglows and a pair of Abbys. No DIY speaker friends yet.
I also have a Wright phono pre sitting at my Wife’s gallery – soon to be moved under the tree.
I am the first one to confess that I have an “as seen on a web site near you system” but I love it. To be really complete I have to get a Teres, no?
