I nominate the Thorens as I have an entry Thorens belt drive turntable w/ Ortofon 2m Blue and it’s quite nice. The suspension and better arm on the TD1600 is a big plus for sure and with a Ortofon 2m Black it would make a nice set up with your Mac, plus look really good too.
Technics or Thorens, need suggestions
I've been looking to get into Analog for quite some time now. So long that I've been collecting Vinyl with a dream of finally getting a nice TT. Analog is an uncharted territory for me. I've been researching on my free time and have come up with a couple possibilities.
Thorens TD 1600
Technics 1200G
Budget is around 3-5k without a cartridge . I have Mcintosh C2600 which I intend to use for phono.
I like the aesthetics of Thorens much more than Technics.
My research showed that Technics is a superb TT for the price. How do these two compare?
my systems: Mcintosh MC452/C2600/Sonus Faber Elipsa
mastersound 845 integrated/ diapason adamantes 3
