Sources:
CD Player/DAC: Sony ES 5 Disc / Taddeo Digital Antidote II
Turntable/Phono Stage: Thorens TD 165 / Luxman Pre Out- I don't have a real phono stage yet, so I use the "Pre Out" section of my old Luxman solid state amplifier. It seems to work pretty well.
Other Source(s): Bang & Olufsen 1600 Turntable
