I got hold of an old TD 125 with a (probably equally old) Shure v15 mkII cart. It works, but even my newbie knowledge level can tell that it needs serious servicing. Is this a good turntable worth hanging onto? My budget is very limited, so a new tt would have to be in the $300 range.
If I should hang onto the Thorens, could anyone recommend a good, inexpensive phono preamp and cartridge to go with it?
Satch--sorry for the late response. I've been trying to replace the original Thorens arm, which is in bad shape. I've just found an almost-new Rega 250 to go with it....
No prob. Could you tell if it works out? I have a Thorens 125 as well, with a SME 3009 arm attached, but the bearings on the SME are loose, so I'm thinking about replacing it with a Rega RB300 or something similar. I'm just not sure if that's a good combination, so any knowledge would be appreciated.....
