Pete Gardner Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 My contribution with a Thorens TD160 MkII that I bought from a SNAer about 6 months ago. Replaced the plinth with one made from Marri Burl. Laser cut 3mm black acrylic logo on front of plinth Deck and chassis spray painted satin black and gloss vinyl cut graphics applied. Chassis mounted with stainless steel barrel mounts. Rega tonearm replaced with The Wand Classic with a Hana SL cart. Very happy with result and sound quality. Glad to be back in 'vinyl land' after 30 something years. Thorens.pdf 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful turntable - build quality to die-for. Can be battery operated (for up to 10 hours). And that arm!!!! Very nice looking table! I've never heard of Thales before. How did you come across them and what made you settle on one? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRSDarwin Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hi Steve, Apologies if it’s a silly question, but what is the black protrusion sweeping across the vinyl and what’s its purpose? A brush? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRSDarwin Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I recently made a change to my office system, substituting my Project Carbon Debut with an original Rega Planar 2 with a Linn Basik arm and a Garrott K1 cartridge. Very much enjoying the results in terms of aesthetics, sound and cartridge set-up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is cool. One query, does this set up effect or complicate setting the VTF? Edited October 6, 2019 by stevoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlinvpp Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I recently picked up a nice Thorens TD126MK3 ELECTRONIC without arm from a SNA member, arrived in great shape, a credit to seller for his packing skill. a bit of cleaning and re-oiling, belt is still good (not expected). Found a SME 3009R from eBay US, cartridge is Lyra Delos, Ortofon LH-9000 headshell. Re-adjusted the 3 springs, now she sings like a bird 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my lowly P-17, and you can see the resemblance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidSun Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The P17 has the floating suspension and the auto stop which I like as I frequently snooze while playing records. The headshell is rare. I decided I will stick to this cartridge. When the needle dies, I will just get a replacement stylus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
