Thorens 160MKII BC Grace 707 + F9????


Good evening all

So my noob brief and bitter adventure with a PD441 came to a close the 2nd day i had it. No quartz lock, speed was wacked. Went straight back to seller. Ho hum

 

I just dont think electrics are my friend. But no worries. I found a gorgeous TD 160MKII BC with a grace 707

I have a Grace f9 and have read that its not the ideal match. Opinions please?

I still need to upgrade the F9 but holding off to get the right styly. 

Down the road I would like a grace with a removable headshell. So any suggestions on model would be very welcome.

The 707 is a rather light weight arm and needs a hi compliance cart, not overly available anymore. If you have a lightweight cart already (hi compliance) then it should be fine if not I’d look elsewhere. Most modern carts are medium/lowish compliance and not a good match to the 707.  All from my memory anyway.  Whats the compliance of the F9? sorry missed that originaly.
