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.
