RE: Receiver and speakers to complement Thorens td 160?

I was first exposed to the DB Systems preamp back in the early 70s. Homely looking, but nice sounding. At the time, I had a Van Alstine modified PAT-5 called the FET-5.

It and Sherwoods early history are the only 2 companies where engineering was truly #1.

I will respectfully disagree. Unlike companies like McIntosh where cosmetics, assorted useless gee-gaws and impressive light shows ruled the day, Audio Research was another company where engineering and sound quality ruled the day.

My SP20 is today's version of the SP3a. And no, the tubes are not backlit like a Halloween display with green lighting. No utterly superfluous meters either. :)
