I am liking this config, the TGP 1 sounds good as a stereo pre, and the phono section is good. I may buy this pre from Tom (if an locate the remote!).

Wow, that's a really nice set up. I just got a Dual CS5000 turntable and am loving it. How do you like those speakers? I'd like to hear more about them

Thanks!
This is my second Dual CS-5000, bought this one from Tom. The first one had the automatic cueing disabled by the previous owner. I like that feature a lot in this one - you move the needle to where you want it and it automatically cues down once speed is stabilized. This is a keeper.
The Mirages M-890is are fine speakers for the price - not too bright not to dark, good bass by themselves, and create a nice soundfield with the bipolar design (5 1/4" woofs and 1" domes front and back). I believe this pair was owned by Shape Shifter before I bought them from Tom. I find them satisfying - other components may get changed out but I cannot find a good reason the change these (that may change one day when I meet the right pair of Maggies - maybe a pair of MMGs). This is probably why Shape Shifter held on to them for 8 years.
