Restore Thorens TD 165 or buy a VPI Traveller?


Would you restore and upgrade a Thorens TD165 or buy a VPI Traveller V2 from Audiogon? I know some like the vintage because they are vintage but what would be the better choice sound wise. Both will have a Ortofon Bronze cartridge. Unless you can recommend a better matched cartridge for each.

Sorry, don't know any firsthand, but I imagine that others may chime in. With the VPI Traveler, you know what exactly what you will get. With a restored and upgraded TD165, you’ve introduced added variables with respect to the modifications and restoration.
BRF is oh so right. The Traveler is a very nice table...with performance beyond its price. You must know that VPI is always there to help if any needs arise..their service is superb.
