Thorens TD-316?

I wouldn't. The arm isn't great. An Audio Technical 95e would be a better bet.

Thanks for the replies. Anyone think that this turntable might not be worth purchasing?

IMHO, it's a great table for that price range.

Mediocre performer, I said farewell 25 years ago.
Try a Japanese direct drive from the Golden Age the late 70´s/early 80´s, however avoid the cheapest models!
Also worth trying a idler driven Lenco 75/78. Good luck !.

I picked up a TD 318 a few months ago for my second system and have been very pleasantly surprised how good it sounds... but my expectations were realistic for a $120 vintage table. I tried an old Dynavector MC on it but like the sound of the Shure V15 Vx w SAS stylus better. Actually listening to it right now... the Decemberists the Hazards of Love

I did dampened the platter a bit and played with the tonearm angle very slightly.
