Well i found a couple places in my town that have stuff like.. hendrix, floyd, elton john, etc... mostly around 3-6$. Just seeing the used prices made me want to buy a system. Grr...
I just have one question.. and i havent been able to find a clear answer.
Is this a valid setup?
Thorens TD190 Turntable -> Marantz 1060 -> HD 600
If this is valid.. could someone also tell me what cables would connect between the Turntable and the 1060.

The Thorens will plug directly into the Moving Magnet phono input sockets on your Marantz 1060, there is no need for a phono stage as the amp has one already built in.
Not many Tonearms allow you to swop out the interconnects coming from the arm without a soldering iron so it's best to leave the current wiring intact as this can be very fiddly.
I havn't seen this turntable reviewed much but it's one of the few new ones at this price range which will play 78rpm. If you plan on delving that far back you might be lucky enough to find some old jazz records from the 30's and 40's which would need a special cartridge to play them which Thorens also supply for this deck.
By the looks of it it's unlikely to live upto the standards set by the classic Thorens like the TD150/160 but then again it's much cheaper in real terms.
Other decks to check out under 500USD are the Goldring GR1.2 or Rega Planar 2.
