whell Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I've got a line on a Thorens TD-145 TT locally. Price negotiations currently under way. No mods that I'm aware of on this deck, reported to have been serviced regularly. Questions: Anyone familiar with the TT and can provide some insight on its performance? My understanding is that this deck, even for its age, competes favorably with modern-day TT offerings in its price range, though it can be tricky to set up and maintain. Are these your experiences as well? Would also like to know if you've owned one, or its cousin, the TD-160, and what you thought of the performance. Thanks for any thoughts!

Randy Bey Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Lousy performance, garbage TT.... where did you say you lived? Actually I have a TD165, and it is quite good; better than most TTs I've had. Is it better than a $90,000 Rockwell TT? Maybe not, but everything is relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whell Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 I think I can live comfortably just outside the $90K range! Thanks for the feedback, and I think I am going to go for this TT, unless I get some drastically negative feedback from someoen familiar with this unit.

ChrisK Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 A good friend of mine recently bought a Thorens TD 150. He sent me the following link to check out. You may find it informative. http://www.theanalogdept.com/thorens_dept_.htm Good Luck, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
