Thank You for your suggestion. I ordered from Amazon today. Perhaps I soon will not need a neophyte thread. One more plea for Stereophile: Bigger print for these aging eyes:)

What do you spin mostly on your Thorens? You problably have much vinyl.

I really don't have that many LP's probably about 250. Lately, I've been listening to to early Chicago and Steely Dan. They seem to sound fuller and less harsh on the turntable perhaps because my CD player isn't the highest quality.

250 albums is nothing to sneeze at. It represents many long hours of pleasant listening if you do not buy anything new.

Depending upon what your CD player is now, check out www.AV123.com and their Onix 88. I believe this is the older model MusicHall CD25 and is an excellent value at $299. The newer model Music Hall 25.1 is a good choice as well. www.underwoodhifi.com If you are in the mood to get nutty go to the Jolida JD100 tube cd player ($800-$900). I love mine. If you want to wade into the water of SACD Sony has some decent players under $300 to get started. But, this puts you into the quandry of going multi-channel as well and spending more money. I love 2 channel.
