New member from California

Hello all, I would like to introduce myself. I am Jim from California, I am retired and am just now dipping my toe into the audiophile pool. I have a Thorens TD124 MKI that I just refurbished with new plinth, two TD125's in in the process of refurbishing, and a Luxman PD121. I have also purchased a pair of Wolcott M220W The Presence Monoblock Amps that I absolutely love, paired with Jaton Real A3 speakers. Awesome combo!!

Looking into an Okto DAC8 Stereo and a Rogue RH-5. All opinions are welcome.

Thanks, Jim

Welcome. I too have a vintage Thorens TD-145 that I built a new plinth out of cocobolo wood and lined the inside with GT Mat. I also siliconed the brackets that the plinth sits on to help with vibration. I also added Sorbothane feet and then ball bearing pucks that it sits on which all helps with my wood floors. I love the semi auto feature of the TT.
