Thorens TD-125 mkii - a significant improvement over the TD-160?
Thank you both for your input!  I think I will stay put with the TD-160 and probably keep the TP-16 for now.  My phono stage is designed only for moving coil cartridges, but maybe I can consider stepping up my cartridge when the time is ripe. 
Thorens TD-125 mkii - a significant improvement over the TD-160?
Thanks for the reply!  I don't have much experience tweaking, but is it pretty straightforward to install a new tonearm on the TD-160?  A new cartridge is a pretty easy upgrade as long as it works well with the arm. 
Lyra Delos Cartridge - Underrated?
I owned a Delos with a VPI Aries, and it was a fantastic combination. I liked it so much, I decided to upgrade to a Kleos (got a great deal on a very lightly used one right here on Audiogon). While I like the Kleos (rich mids), I think the Delos h...

Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H
Just wanted to give a brief report on the Herron ... I've had it for less than a week and am really enjoying its sound. I actually decided to bring it home and try it out on my home system with a VPI Aries/Lyra Delos. Huge soundstage. Really excel... 
Thorens TD-316?
The deal unfortunately fell through the floor, as another buyer beat me out to the turntable. No problem, though, I decided to pick up a used Rega P25, which I'm greatly enjoying!

Landed a used Herron right here on Audiogon and should get it by Thursday. Thanks for the suggestion! I did some research and decided that it was worth the plunge.

Have you had experience with the Herron? I've been doing some reading and hear lots of good things about it. Part of me is still not sure about tube vs solid-state.

I've decided to hold off and perhaps save up for a higher end phono stage, perhaps in the $1000-2000 range. Lots of competitors here in a tough field ...

Thanks! I will look into it!

I saw that, but I haven't heard much about the Pellar. Anyone with experience with this?
