thorens or Rega


I'm presently trying to decide which table to use with a Blue Point Special cartridge, the Rega 2 has a Linn Basik LVX tonearm and the Thorens is a TD160, with a floating plater and armboard, very similiar to the Linn LP12, The Thorens table seems very well built I've replaced the Matt with felt, I have a stud mounted wall shelf for stablity.

"Audiovisionary" I see your "vision"as very biased.You're a dealer? You sell Basis and Music Hall?? You wouldnt carry Rega? Or you couldnt pick up the Rega line? Rega tables are prone to defects? Oh really? First time I ever heard that one.Rega tables actually are known to last for many years with no problems.Rega tables dont sound very good for the money? Again,first time I've heard that line also.So you are a dealer who bashes the competition.The stuff you sell is the best out there,right?? I think we have discussed "dealers" like you here before."Audiovisionary" thanks for your "vision"
The Rega 3 is a nice table.Much depends on what arm it has.Same with the Thorens.If you like the Thorens better then keep it and spend more on a better arm or cartridge.
Woops,last post was to Vivo by error.Rwillie,I would go with the Rega but try to find a RB-250 arm and have it modified.
Get in touch of Doug Sedond about the 250.He knows about them better than most.
