    How do I know if a tonearm fits my turntable?

    Having not owned a turntable in 45 years, I have what may be a very newbie question. I just acquired a Thorens TD 160 Mk I with the standard TP16 tone arm (effective length 230 mm, mounting radius 215.60 mm, 14.4 mm overhang, 22.00 degree tonearm/headshell angle, 16.5g effective mass). The...

    Thorens 1971 TD 160 V.S. Luxman 1982 PD 264

    I got the idea to compare these two decks directly when I noticed that my newly acquired PD 264 has the same Shure cartridge as my main system TD 160, with the venerated Shure M95ED stylus (stock with the Premier cart on the Thorens, likely an aftermarket fitting on the Luxman). Otherwise both...
