Thorens Turntables

I recently can across a E-Bay seller from Germany who sells refurbished Thorens Turntables. The company is Art Of Sound. The Tables are quite beautiful, Has anyone ever heard of this company. Are the tables rebuilt or are you paying for a pretty plinth.

Thorens has been around longer than many of us.  They are Swiss, make excellent tables (depending on the model) and stand behind their products.  ALL of their products.  Their TD-124 is legendary and a very good performer.  

It's hard to tell how a specific table on a custom plinth will sound.

I owned the TD-166 MkII. Belt drive, rosewood finish. I sold it and bought a VPI HW-19 Jr.  Back then I was selling things in order to justify buying new equipment.  

I wish I still had that Thorens.   The VPI not so much.

Can't agree more. I have a restored Empire 208 its sounds better than many of the newer tables I have purchased over the years.
