| Sources:
|
| CD Player/DAC: | Marantz SA-15S1 SACD/CD-player |
| Turntable/Phono Stage: | Thorens TD125 MKII. The bearing and spindle have recently been repolished. I use bearing oil with an incredible low viscosity, which increases the dynamics of the TD125 considerably. The arm I use is DIY-unipivot design with adjustable and fairly high effective mass to make the best of the low compliant the Denon DL-103. The phonostage used is another DIY-affair. It is a mix of a Pass Labs Aleph-Ono MC-stage and the the Pass Labs DIY Pearl Phono. Gain is adjustable and 70 dB max.
