Hi, hopefully some wise vinyl-o-philes will inject some wisdom into this digitally grounded twenty something.

I found a Thorens TD-126 mkIII at a local thrift store for 6$ in great condition, original tone arm, hardly even a scratch on it. I took it to a local hi-fi shop and had a nice Grado green cartridge put on it.

I also found many great records in great condition, one was Beethoven: 9 Symphonien the Gramophone with Von Karajan conducting. It

haven't got my copy yet

can anyone tell me the measured sensitivity of these speakers
i have owned a pair for 3 weeks and they have been impressive in my less than stellar listening room

I want to sell my 9s locally.ebay and audiogon last resort.I really dont want to sell them but I'm in a townhouse and there to big.I've put up flyers at music stores,vinyl conventions,and other places.any ideas???????

Does anyone have a serious reference to the error code used in the CD standard? I'd like to know things like:

how many error bits can it detect and correct?

what happens when the number of error bits exceeds the correction code?

Many thanks,
Bob

I am better off using long runs of XLR cables, i.e. 25 to 30 ft, from a Balanced preamp to my monoblocks OR short runs of xlr and then speaker cable? I am trying to decide whether to keep my amps in a rack or to use amp stands next to my speakers.

Thanks.

Well it seems that most, if not all, of my previous attempts to stir up some interest in what's going on right under our noses over at archive.org regarding the advancement of high end audio has fallen on deaf ears (or is that blind eyes?).
