GWSmith Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Ok, I must confess.............playing around with a new camera, and the guys over in RTM right now are sharing gear photos. So, I just took this one from the listening area looking toward the front lineup.... The outside edge of the KH's is about 20'.....(18.5' on centers) Enjoying them with the tube gear tonight and wished you were all here to share in it this evening..... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! You know I've never used one like that! Is it proprietary and for Thorens carts only? How do you manipulate the needle to drop to the right spot on your graph? My new setup with the headshell integrated into the arm I had to mount the new cart putting the screws in from below. Weird to me but since then I've seen pics of others doing that. Is that shell aluminum? Still looks like you'd need a non-garage, laboratory type drill-press for something this size. Had a tapered cylindrical file once but it wasn't small like you'd need for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had just had his first baby boy last time I saw him and his wife! Thank you FACEBOOK, I found him a week ago, and have hooked up to have this visit!! This first child is now 40 years old !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The next 3 sons have all grown up and moved out as well ! I never new them... I am going to try and get my buddy on HERE to enjoy music with all of us. He was always in to good audio and music and I would visit his apartment often and listen to all kinds of music on his great gear... This was all going down in the early 70ies....... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately imo, there exists the Klipsch speaker range. My first one was a Chorus pair. Maybe abit bigger than a forte, yet at times, unable to look a gifthorse in the mouth. Let alone question. Going to get an iced-tea and have a sit down. Enjoy whateven happens when shopping for Klipsch. Unless you know what you want. Think I may listen to the SS lp again soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them both in factory and modified.. there normally $100 + if you find them...plus shipping from overseas... unfortunately I have the thorens td 125. fitted with the factory tp25 tonearm and tp50 headshell... I can upgrade the tonearm.... but it looks like crap.. with the 3 switches on the front panel... correct https://www.ebay.com/i/142377833956?chn=ps&dispItem=1&ul_ref=http%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F711-117182-37290-0%2F2%3Fmpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.com%252Fi%252F142377833956%253Fchn%253Dps%2526dispItem%253D1%26itemid%3D142377833956%26targetid%3D375032062519%26device%3Dt%26adtype%3Dpla%26googleloc%3D9005290%26poi%3D%26campaignid%3D962079499%26adgroupid%3D51784542430%26rlsatarget%3Dpla-375032062519%26abcId%3D1129816%26merchantid%3D113571936%26gclid%3DEAIaIQobChMIk4yqtu-j1wIVRUOGCh1mLQifEAQYAyABEgIZpPD_BwE%26srcrot%3D711-117182-37290-0%26rvr_id%3D1354198635603 crappy looking https://www.etsy.com/listing/567918655/thorens-td-125-with-sme-3009-tonearm?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_a-electronics_and_accessories-audio-record_players&utm_custom1=6e625d46-bd06-4a76-868a-ca58fc26972a&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIk4yqtu-j1wIVRUOGCh1mLQifEAQYAiABEgIBCfD_BwE the right way from the factory.. you can mount any tonearm ! http://vinylnirvana.com/vintage-turntables-for-sale/the-master-thorens-td-125-mkii-wupgraded-sme-arm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
