What Can You Do With A Thorens?
Keep in mind silver wire breaks easily, even fine stranded ones. So if it flexes a lot, don't expect it to be trouble free. 
Better Quality Amp with Similar Sonics to Jolida ?
I'm not sure about the 302, but a Conrad Johnson will sound like a more refined version of the 502. The CAV-50 integrated, or the MV-55 power amp will have a similar classic sound. 
bridging integrated amplifier
but I have single large bookshelf that can take up the same space and would give me more low end. I was looking to take advantage of the power options from the stereo but rather not risk off wiring.Rome2000 (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Make su... 
bridging integrated amplifier
01-13-12: SandstoneIf you want both channels output through a single speaker rated at 8 ohms, you could just connect it conventionally via one set of speaer terminals, then set NAD's speaker impedance selector to 8 ohms, and then press the "Mono" ... 
bridging integrated amplifier
Rome2000, contacting Nad sounds like a good idea as mentioned above, if you really think it can be done. But, bridging your receiver would not be a good idea in my opinion either. If it would work, it would change the impedance to 16 ohms, not 8 o... 
How Do You Pronounce Thiel?
01-13-12: RrogThiel, teel and teal are all pronounced the same.I find it interesting that more people have responded to this thread than threads with actual questions about stereo equipment. Maybe the questions about stereo equipment have not been...

01-12-12: Isochronismmember Lrsky would surely know. I am cheaply taking this opportunity to get him to chime in here more often. Hey Larry... we miss ya'Isochronism (Answers | This Thread)He must of found himself a woman!

What constitutes a "high output" moving coil cart?
The KAB link is what Swampwalker was referring to, I think. 
What constitutes a "high output" moving coil cart?
There are some HOMC cartridges that put out more than I imagined. I guess the are some cartridges that will output around 1mV that I've heard that sound good. Those may not work with a lot of MM phono preamps. Some of those would fit in the med-hi... 
marantz 10b and 10b tubes
Nos American tubes will probably do great. Amperex (the old before Richardson bought the name) and Mullard may be better, if they make them. If you decide to get your own tester, get a mutual conductance type like Hickok. For a good value tester, ... 
What constitutes a "high output" moving coil cart?
It is important to find out where your phone stage starts getting noisy. If the cartridges output is too low, any benefits of the HOMC will just be lost. Everyone will react different. Every person has their own taste also. In the '70s or '80s, th... 
12au6
I took another look, and it won't even fit the socket. The 12AU6 is only a 7 pin tube, the 12AU7 is a 9 pin. So we don't have to even worry about being too late letting you know. 
12au6
Absolutely not. Don't even try it. It can do damage.
