Thorens TD-316?

I am thinking of getting a second turntable for my office. My primary TT at home is a VPI Aries / JMW Memorial / Lyra Delos. I'm going for simplicity and musicality for a price range under $400. I was considering going vintage and getting a used but fully serviced Thorens TD-316. Anyone with experience with this TT? Thanks!

Grado Sonata would be an excellent match.

I wouldn't. The arm isn't great. An Audio Technical 95e would be a better bet.

Thanks for the replies. Anyone think that this turntable might not be worth purchasing?

IMHO, it's a great table for that price range.

Mediocre performer, I said farewell 25 years ago.
Try a Japanese direct drive from the Golden Age the late 70´s/early 80´s, however avoid the cheapest models!
Also worth trying a idler driven Lenco 75/78. Good luck !.
