Cartridge for Thorens TD-160

I agree with Viridian that a high compliance cartridge is the way to go with the TP-16 arm. I tried my Denon 103R and it wasn't very good, even after adding weight to the headshell. I've had both the Shure V15 and the M97, and for the extra money Tvad's cartridge will be noticeably better, with a new stylus of course, than even a new M97. I've not heard the JICO stylus, but it's supposed to be terrific.

Another option is one of the NOS Empires floating around that Raul raves about. Do a search and you can find out what the latest offerings are. They're all high compliance MM.

Great table. Good luck!

Viridian is completely wrong on this one! The best gravy is my mother's roast beef gravy, over barely mashed potatos with a little pepper. If there's an audiophile gravy, it's my mother's.
