Thorens TD165 in perfect shape. What cartridge?


I was given A Thorens TD165 by someone who never used it. What cartridge is recommended? I will spend up to $150.00.
Is this turntable worth putting money into to upgrade arm. Will an rb250 compliment this table or suffer.

I'd get a Dynavector 10X4 or whatever the latest model is, a Shure V15, or an Ortofon in your price range and leave the arm alone. The Thorens were designed as a system and have very good arms, unlike conventional wisdom. Be careful with SOME Grado cartridges they may hum in the Thorens.
