    Advice on turntable + amp + speakers

    So, after a few months of thought... My choice is Thorens TD 209 / Arcam A19 / Dynaudio Emit M10 What do you thnik about that? On the paper, is it a technicallly good choice? Of course, I will check the sound the amp & the speakers make in a store.

    Hello everyone, I'm planning to buy an audio system but not sure about connections... The turntable would be a Thorens TD 209, amp an Arcam A19 and speakers, Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2.
