To the OP, I am running the Technics SL1200G with a a Mac C2500 and MC302 amp. The Technics is the best turntable to grace my system. Previously, I had a VPI Prime, VPI Scout, VPI HW III and a Rega Planer 3. The Technics is the best of the bunch and if you just want to listen to records, it is a set and forget turntable.
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

Thorens TD 1600
