Ditch the Thornes. Refurbishing or upgrading TT's is not cost effective for the sound it provides. Check out 'U-Turn Audio' for a fresh spin on the classic turntables. They do direct sales on the net. I've heard their product and was amazed. Great sound, great value.
Turntable Buying Advice
I have a vintage Thorens TD 166 mk 2 that has not been used on 13 years. It definitely needs a new cartridge and there is some motor noise? My budget if buying new would be $350 - $450 which puts me write at entry level. Should I refurbish the Thorens, or buy an entry level Project or similar table.
Thanks
