And here I thought that a "kugel" was a pudding made of noodles or potatoes. It's true that after eating enough of it one does feel as if one swallowed a cannon ball. Maybe that's how the name was derived. Anyway, my grandmother made some wonderful kugels in her day.
Thorens "Kugelarm"
Anyone know about the tonearms supplied on the Thorens TD 150 and 150AB in the mid 60's and 70's? The tonearm models were the 13 and 13A, one I believe called the Kugelarm, named for the cannonball-like appearance of the counterweight. I'd like to know if one or both of these arms are light enough on which to install a high compliance cartridge such as the Shure V15III MR or other high compliance cartridges of the era.
