I’ve had a Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge for 2 months and absolutely love it. This is one dynamic sounding turntable w/ gobs of PRaT. Very clean, detailed, extended, tight rhythmic bass, airy highs, big soundstage. I really works for me and mates well w/ Schiit Mani phono stage and Mystere tube integrated amp.
If I ever wanted to upgrade, which I don’t want to, the Thorens TD309 w/ Ortofon Black would be at the top of my list because I’m so impressed with what I’m hearing now.
