Thorens TD-125 mkii - a significant improvement over the TD-160?

Hi - I currently own a Thorens TD-160 mki with TP-16 tonearm and Denon DL-110 cartridge and the combination sounds great.  Would a TD-125 mkii and an SME tonearm be a significant "upgrade" in terms of sound, or would I be better off just upgrading my cartridge?


Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!  I don't have much experience tweaking, but is it pretty straightforward to install a new tonearm on the TD-160?  A new cartridge is a pretty easy upgrade as long as it works well with the arm.

Thank you both for your input!  I think I will stay put with the TD-160 and probably keep the TP-16 for now.  My phono stage is designed only for moving coil cartridges, but maybe I can consider stepping up my cartridge when the time is ripe.
