A Thorens is a nice table an may suffice well for a 2nd system. You'll have to spend at least $300 to beat it out with a new table. Make sure it is in proper working condition.
Thorens TD165 for a second system
Hello everybody. New poster here. I'm putting together a small second system for our rec room. I want to add a turn table. I was offered a Thorens TD-165 is very good condition. I'd like to know if it would be better to buy a newer turn table. The people on Audio Asylum seem to really like Thorens, but on Audio Annex they think a newer turn table is much better. What does everybody here think? Thank you in advance.
