amped Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I inherited the TT. It was my stepdad's. He was a musician and had that with a Marantz (w/ the oscilloscope), Tandberg R2R, and Altec VOT's. My mom got him one of the first Sony CD players- the specs were hand written IIRC. His kid's got the rest. Grateful to have the TD125mk2. I had it overhauled by Vinyl Nirvana before bringing it to it's new home. It plays with a Denon DL103, Ned Clayton SUT, re-done Dynaco PAT4, soon to be re-done Dynaco ST120 (summer), VTA ST120 for cooler times, and Chorus 2's. After completing the VTA120 build, the first album I played on it was Hunky Dory. That's a keeper too! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 @Full Rangeas long as the high end disease blinds the brains of high society even more money will be spent on the status symbol "high end", best example the new Thorens record player, nothing changes; the difference between boys and men is the price of their toys Pics are from the High End Trade Fair in Munich 20th. may 2023 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 One word. INSANE... Doubt You could hear the difference between the Thorens and your Micro Seiki. But, as long as there are people buying these things. At least they too help to keep our hobby alive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
