I had a thorens 145, and it certainly beat My Project 2.1. I was using a Denon Dl 160 with it and it sounded great. However, it also sounded very good with the cheaper Shure m97xe, but better with the Denon.
Old Thorens TD 145 vs. todays gear
I bought my wife a TD 145 back in 1977 as her first real turntable.
Needless to say i've been through a lot of gear since then but she is adamant about never getting rid of anything that still works...and this does...
...but i was wondering if anyone had any real comparison of that vintage table to any of todays comparable tables.. like the music hall series, or the Rega's
I'm thinking about putting a modern cartridge onto it and bringing it back into service. I have a Lukaschek pp-1 I could use...and i'm driving Wilson sophias with a Krell 400xi.
So i guesss three things:
1) how does this TD 145 compare to current $500-1k tables?
2.) What cartridge would be a good match?
3.) Are there any reasonable tweaks that provide a significant improvement without loss of features (this has the auto arm lift mechanism)
