As a long term customer of Thor audio products, for me not only do I love how they sound and look,for me its also how user freindly they are and the bullet proof build quailty. For many of us Audiophiles it takes a long time to scratch up enough money to buy this great equipment and that makes it very important to make the right choice ,due to the cost of quality equipment. I tried others but ended up where I belong with Thor electronics ....They are that good...
Head's up on Thor
As an audio enthusiast who usually seeks out and enjoys products made by small companies out of the mainstream, I'd like to give a strong thumbs up for the Thor Audio TA-2000 MKII linestage with phono.
I don't have an opportunity to demo or a/b any products so my purchases are based on homework and faith. The more popular upscale phonostages like Aesthetix, Manley and even Lamm, etc. are more quickly reviewed and brought up on A'Gon.
But I believe Thor should most definately be included. All the positive sonic cliches apply. What I find most impressive with the Thor piece is soundstage and inner detail. Also, the lack of thinking about what is impressive because everything is so cohesive it just sounds like great music.
Also, I have all my equipment on a Systrum rack. Systrum produces the most effective vibration control products, IMO.
My 2 cents.
