This is my Thorens TD124. SN 13943 Minus paint (cuz I like it that way)
Plinth is in Pennsylvania slate. Two 2-inch thick slabs stacked one over the other.
Tonearm is the Graham 2.2
Cartridge is the Denon DL-103R in one of Uwe's ebony bodies. At this time I'm using the standard tubular cantilever and conical diamond tip.
The acrylic dustcover is from Ferruccio in Switzerland.

Here's a stripped down Empire 598 set up as a true mono deck with an old GE cart.

I really need to make a cover plate for the motor. Maybe today........

Made a quickie motor cover.

Yes! Swifter is great for removing surface dust from LP’s. Glad to see someone else is using it too.

Very nice indeed. Especially like the refinished pioneer.

Thanks, I've still got your acoustics panels on my list for the near future!

Nice tables. I really like how the FLW rug really ties the room together too.

Habs kinda' suck the big one this year (I'm allowed to say this, been a fan since '65), but it is what it is.

Hey your right,I think its time for a rebuild .Been watching the habs since the 60's ,had some really good years,but lately not so good.

I like it just fine . I was lucky to find an original Thorens NOS arm board and AKer Totem came by and guided me through the installation. I find the arm is a little bouncy when I'm lowering it but all in all I'm impressed with the build quality. Now that the cartridge has broken in I'm thrilled with the clarity of the sound.
I'm currently looking for a phono pre with a little more gain as my Nova II will do 60 dB but that's a little shy of optimum for the Dynavector. I have a Dual CS 5000 that I bought a few years back still sealed and I'll set up two tables and use the Nova II for the Dual.

Happy New Year!

How would you rate the value for the dollar on that arm? I've looked at them several times but just haven't jumped because of the price.
