Thorens 160MKII BC Grace 707 + F9????


Good evening all

So my noob brief and bitter adventure with a PD441 came to a close the 2nd day i had it. No quartz lock, speed was wacked. Went straight back to seller. Ho hum

 

I just dont think electrics are my friend. But no worries. I found a gorgeous TD 160MKII BC with a grace 707

I have a Grace f9 and have read that its not the ideal match. Opinions please?

I still need to upgrade the F9 but holding off to get the right styly. 

Down the road I would like a grace with a removable headshell. So any suggestions on model would be very welcome.

Chridabs, why not relax, take a breath, and evaluate what you now own over a period of several weeks? These other items will always be out there to buy if you get the itch. I guess I already said all that. If you can get the headshell to sit so it’s parallel to the LP surface, that’s fine enough for azimuth. 

Yes, the world is full of wonderful vintage Japanese tonearms, and I am not being facetious.
