Ditto nine years later. I recently replaced my LP12/Ittok with the TD2001. Love the sound of the Thorens! Not as lively as Linn but sounds more natural and organic. Deep physical bass that the LP12 only hints at, and I no longer hear the difference in timber between lead in and end groove. Along with TD3001 and Ambiance these are the only Thorens tables with the hardened RDC bearing which is competitive with the Linn bearing, if not better. I've had many Thorens including TD160S, TD147, TD145, TD125 MkII, TD115. TD2001 is definitely the best of the lot. TP90 tonearm is even better than the first gen TP16 tonearm.
Opinions on Thorens TD 2001, should I sell or keep
I like to hear from the owners of the Thorens TD2001 TT on what you think of the sound. I'm thinking about including it in my SF Line 1, Acoustic Signature - Tango Phono Pre, Monarchy SE100 Delux and Sonus Faber Concerto speakers. The cartridge is the Goldring - Eroica Cartridge.
