Do they perform the same? One of my friends has Thorens TD124 with an original Ortofon 309 arm (dynamic balancing). According to him, the one made in Japan is much inferior. I did not ask why, but I wonder whether he is biased. Any opinion?
While I do not have the "original" one I do have the one thats made for Ortofon by Jelco and it is a very fine tonearm - made in Japan - normally means very well made and this one is no exception.
