Thorens TD146/160 with Ortofon 309 arm?


One of my friends have Thorens TD124 with Ortofon 309 arm (ORTOFON RMG-309?) and they looked to be a very good match. He suggested me to have Garrard 301 with Ortofon 309 arm, but they would cost me $3~4K. I have TD146 mkii and wonder whether it would a good match with with the Ortofon arm. Maybe the arm is too much for the (cheap) turntable?

Thanks Br3098.
I guess the long arm may not fit to the table anyway without heavy modification, and it surely looks like no match.

My Thorens table is 145 MKii, not 146.
Goofyfoot, I would not mind if this thread got piggy backed or even hijacked.
I am also thinking of changing the stock tonearm from TD145, so I would like to hear more about it.
