Hello everyone!
I would like to purchase my first turntable. I have been reading a lot on the topic and I am more inclined to go with a vintage table then a new one.
A local vintage audio shop has a few nice turntables. The owner is highly recommending a Thorens td 145 mkii with Ortofon VMS 20 EO mkii cartridge . It is in good condition, services with 6 month warranty. The price would be around 500$.
He is advertising the cartridge as one of the best.
The shop has some Duals as well in almost mint condition.1019, 1219, 1229 the latest two at half the price of the td 145.
What is you recommendation, which would be the better choice? Any other recommendation?
Sound quality and durability is important. I think the td 145 might have better arm and compatibility with current cartridges, styluses.
Thank you!
