At this point I have not purchased a cartridge for the 160. My intergrated bryston B100 has a MM stage built in so for now i am staying with a MM cartridge. I hope to upgrade later. Most of my funds at this moment are for the listening room I am builbing.
Tone arm question
I recently purchased the Thorens TD 160 HD without a tonearm to fit in a custom built plinth i'm building. I need some suggestion on a brand and or model of a tonearm that will match the Thorens. I have a budget of 2,000.00. You can buy a lot nicer tonearm used, But do tonearms ever wear out under normal use
