Having owned several Thorens and several Sansui's I wouldn't bet on it. I still miss a Sanuui 800 something with a Stanton 881 on it I had.
Top Sansuis would be competitive today.

Thorens TD-126 Mk II vs Sansui SR-717
Apart from brand loyalty, would everyone agree that comparably well-setup and with comparable quality cartridges, the Thorens is a significantly better table/arm? I have some attraction to the 717 as a mate to the my 8080db visually and 'system'-wise, but am thinking the Thorens could at least hold its own or even sound better than my 'modern' MMF-7/Eroica rig.
Thoughts?
