I came across a used TL-0 for sale yesterday (black version - looks nicer than current in my eyes). I listened to it through some 20k Accuphase amps and B&W 800D speakers, and the sound was very poor. Fortunately it sounded even worse when the TL-0 was switched to a modern and expensive CD player (which was all I was trying to get out of the demo). It was enough to tell me the TL-0 made a pretty big difference.

So I bought the TL-0, and now wondering if I should buy another (if I ever find another) in case I need replacement parts. Given the recession, who knows how long one can count on CEC to servie the machine? I admit I am a paranoid person.

I also thought how cheap it is in a sense, like buying a second hand Micro 8000 at the fraction of the price of a modern trophy turntable.

The Chinese are beginning to buy Micros and probably a lot of the stuff they see in this website. Maybe my purchase of the TL-0 will do better than investments in gold :-)
