The mention of early Thorens TT brings back memories.I think it was the mid to late 60's.I was at the long gone Newmark & Lewis chain looking for a new TT.The salesman said he was selling his personal unit.A Thorens with Supex MC cartridge. Instead I bought a Marantz table which was then owned by Superscope.

The old cassette recordings off the old Philips 312 may well sound clearer today 30 years later on my current system, normal tape hiss aside, than the original vinyl did on the original system I had around the 312 at that time.

I determined years later that the Hitachi Class G receiver I used in that old system then was the weak link. It delivered a lot of power out of a small box that fit well inside a dorm room at the time, but distortion levels with the Class G amp left something to be desired.
