I had a Thorens TD125 for many years, with Stanton, Pickering and Lyra carts. Sadly it is not around anymore. Should be possible to buy and upgrade. It could be interesting if you want to run several turntables. I only use one. I switched from the Thorens TD125 to a VPI HW-19, and then to a Hanss T30, and have not looked back.

You can find people in the U.S. that offer restored or modded Thorens ’tables. Steve Frosten is one I can think of. Also see https://vinylnirvana.com/ |
What is your budget? You may want to give Greg Metz of STS/Classic Thorens a call. He is located just outside Nashville. I know that he has several tables, not all of them TD124's, ready for sale. Greg is like a Swiss watch maker. He cleans up vintage tables piece by piece to the point that once "revitalized", they look brand new. On a side note, I find it amusing that you were asking if anyone was familiar with Art and Sound of Germany and as usual, folks did not bother to use their reading comprehension and instead thought you were asking about Thorens in general. And of course, commenting on Thorens in general is pointless. They made a ton of different decks and still do at all quality levels/price points. |
