I had the semi auto version, the TD-18. I found it sounded a bit leaden and plodding. If you like a smooth sound that sounds a little slow, it might suit.
Thorens TD-316?
I am thinking of getting a second turntable for my office. My primary TT at home is a VPI Aries / JMW Memorial / Lyra Delos. I'm going for simplicity and musicality for a price range under $400. I was considering going vintage and getting a used but fully serviced Thorens TD-316. Anyone with experience with this TT? Thanks!
