Opinions re Thorens tables

I have used the 125 many times but not recently. Build quality is very good. Get a replacement mat , the platter is prone to ringing if not well damped. Jaybo is correct, it would be much better than the decks you mention. There in a enormous amount of info on this site, Vinyl Engine and Audio Asylum on Thorens, I would study it before making a decision. In general their arms are good but not up to the table.

Thorens are excellent tables, when like all tables they are properly set up. If buying used, a must is to pick it up. No shipping, or 'you will be sorry.' Have it demo'd before you finalize the sale.

I am working on a thorens td 150 with a Rega RB300 arm.The first try has been very disapointing with very weak bass. I am a complete novice to this. Any advice?

the cartridge may make all the difference with 'bass'.

I have owned several classic Thorens decks, and the only two models I kept are the 126 and the 318. The others (124, 125, 150) were OK but not as good as I was expecting, based on the rave reviews they often receive IMHO. Complex mechanics and generally poor tonearms are the bugaboo. If you like tinkering then a classic Thorens is for you. I prefer to spend my time listening to music.
