Hi, everyone, I wanted to give you all an update on my adventure:
I picked up the the 'table last weekend -- it looks great and runs fine.
I bought a medium-output Benz Glider and Nordost Frey 2 phono cable.
I was planning to get it up and running this weekend but am uneasy about the Nordost Frey 2 cable. I'd actually won an auction for Nordost Tyr 1 cable. However the seller told me he'd managed to convince the distributor to sell me the Frey 2 at the same price and, trusting fool that I am, I accepted.
But when I looked into the differences in the cables, I found that Tyr sells for 50% more than Frey. Is there any reason to believe that second generation Frey is superior to first-generation Tyr? I smell a flim-flam and at this point am planning to exchange the the Frey II for the Tyr 1.
Does this make sense? Anyone have any advice? I'm inclined to take the more expensive first-generation cable, the Tyr 1.
One more question: what's a good source of belts? I gather that the Super version of the WTT uses the same belt that the Reference does.
Thanks for all the help and encouragement.
Cheers -- Bill
