| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Wow, a 28gram brass headshell weight and 100gram counterweight add on?! Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think that is an extreme concept and probably not the best one. Instead maybe you could add a couple of stainless steel washers under yo... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? If all it says in front is "TD 160" and looks like this - http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/102551/1035104.aspxthen it is a Mk1 and is good news as this was the best TD160 variant. (Aside from the Super) | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Great responses everyone, I really thought this thread might help to simplify things for those of us who are not gurus. But boy what a can of worms I have opened, it just keeps getting more and more complicated!...whew..lol Oh well, thats analog a... | |
| Turntable / Arm combo for around $2000. new. Avid Diva is super low maintenance and easy to setup to boot. | |
| Turntable / Arm combo for around $2000. new. Avid Diva II and Jelco SA250St or Rb251. Better build and better music maker in comparison to both the new Clearaudio and Nottingham choices. imo | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Grab the TD160 if its a Mk1. The TD 126 is quite complex and therefore more prone to drama. (tweaking, possible electronic failure & mechanical fussy operation, ect.) Besides, if the Td160 is a MK1 it will have a better bearing and platter tha... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Check the gallery pics for super modded td160's. I think you might have to contact them for new motor info. My experience with Thorens dc motor upgrade has been just the opposite, heard an Origin live dc200 on a td125 and it was awesome. More impa... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions I saw that TD521, it was nice but still uses a factory cheapo pressed board with veneer for the frame. Would rather have this TD125 Long Base with new DC motor and thick real maple plinth.http://www.artisanfidelity.com/Hardwood-Portfolio.htmlOnly ... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Nandric, Read their ads. Artisan Fidelity modifies the TD125 from the spring type to a fixed suspension. This mod/option was mentioned also in the td125 owners manual. So, they actually do benefit very much by having those high mass plinths.I read... | |
| When less is more...10 reasons to own Thorens Because the good vintage models can be modified and updated to run neck and neck with new tables - ex. TD124 (I or II), TD125 (I or II), TD160 (MkI only) If I had the extra dough I'd grab one of those wicked Artisan Fidelity modded Thorens with th... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions Looks wise, imo a super modded td125 looks way more boss in comparison to a vpi classic. That artisen Maple frame plinth or whatever you call it is waaayyyy nicer than the super cheapo medium desity fiberboard plinth on the Classic. C'mon a cheapo... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions Even in the 60's and 70's Thorens were using quality metal platters. The TD125's had balanced metal platters and subplatters which were made from cast zinc alloy + aluminum and the actual top chassis plates were made from super heavy thick cast al... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions The Classic might be the best sounding VPI ever made and might even be the best honestly built they've made too, especially for the money. But, we were not talking about the Classic which has only been around a short while anyway. Long history of ... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions Agreed the new Thorens are just marketing and fluff - new company riding an old name, nothing worth buying. But I would take any well done vintage Td125 or Td124 (or LP12) over the blah VPI HW19. VPI's in my experience are showy commercial main st... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions Vintage Linn Lp12 is overrated imo and are tweaky as heck, especially earlier versions. They can sound nice but suspension are a pain to setup and need alot of attention to be anything worth while. Look inside a vintage Lp12 and look inside a vint... |
