I have used the 125 many times but not recently. Build quality is very good. Get a replacement mat , the platter is prone to ringing if not well damped. Jaybo is correct, it would be much better than the decks you mention. There in a enormous amount of info on this site, Vinyl Engine and Audio Asylum on Thorens, I would study it before making a decision. In general their arms are good but not up to the table.
Opinions re Thorens tables
I've never heard a Thorens table-vintage or new. I see several ads for vintage and rebuilt Thorens, and some I would consider expensive for an older TT ($1000). How does the Thorens td125 stack up against a new modern deck-say from Rega or Music Hall? Thanks for your opinions.
