Re: Thorens 126 vs Michell Gyrodec

I owned the Michell with a Rega RB250 re-wired by Expressimo and included the Expressimo "heavy weight". The cartridge is a Denon DL103R and is now installed in my TD126 MKII (not MKIII).

To my ears, the TD126 MKII with stock tonearm and the DL103R sounds as good as the Michell and in some cases a tad better. But again, this is to "my ears", in my system and listening environment. I would still own the Michell but wanted other equipment and had it been noticeably superior I would have kept it. The TD126 MKII provides me with very satisfying sound and the Michell was expendable as a result.

Inmates, this is my personal opinion only so please, no flames.
