Okay, here is my plan for now


Super T-amp


Stongly un-recommended. 4.5 watts at 0.1% THD is rediculously poor
performance, even with efficient speakers. I'm mysteified by the popularity
of Tripath-based power amps, because they just don't perform well. The
nicest thing that can be said about them is that they sound remarkably good
given all of their audible flaws.

Frankly, you'd be far better off buying a Sherwood 100 wpc amp from a
superstore.

TCC TC-750 Phono Preamp


OK


Klipsch RB-61


Looks to me like its specs claim to violate the laws of physics. It's too
small to have the efficiency and bass extension that is claimed.

Pro-Ject Debut III Turntable w Ortofon cartrdige


OK.


Later


Sub


Yeah!

Better amp


yeah!

Better cartridge


Maybe. Is the supplied Ortofon that bad?
