    Which is more important? A new turntable or buying more vinyl?

    Hello Friends, I’m perplexed or struggling with choices. I have a small listening room ~15 ft x 20 ft. (5 m x 7 m approximately). I’ve got three active turntables, a Dual 1229, a Dual 1219 and a Thorens TD-165. All three function in perfect order and run beautifully. The Duals feed into a...

    Funny story. I recently bought a thorens td125 MKii without a tonearm. What actually came in was a mki BUT the turntable was huge. After more digging it turns out the one I got was a thorens td125 made for a 12 inch arm. I’ll post pictures later but I was wondering what the best course of action...

    Thorens TD125 and Shure SME 3009 II

    I have the chance to pick up TD125 mark II with SME 3009 MkII locally, in good working condition but no dust cover or cart. It seems like a good buy based on pricing I've seen online but, how does it compare to my Rega RP6? Is it an upgrade or not?

    Thorens TD 125 tonearm

    hi, I just had a Thorens TD125 with a SME 3909 tonearm. The tonearm needs to be completly rewired and there is a broken part at the back. Since it might cost more than the tonearm itself to fix and because I'm out of this budget I was wondering what tonearm you might think of a replacement. I...

    Thorens TD 124 vs Thorens TD 125

    I have always wanted a TD 124. I really lust after these things. This question is about differences/comparisons between the 124 and the 125, and also any info on TD 160's as well if they merit it. I'm just curious about the 125 and I am thinking it might be the better TT. But they are different...
