In Reply to: Re: Downgrading...LP12 to Thorens TD150 MkII...Seeking Comments/Advice posted by about2 on December 15, 2005 at 08:40:04:
I was curious what his findings were too. He says:"I own an LP12/Ittock II and a modded Thorens TD150/Grace 707, and the modded Thorens does sound better than the Linn. Many are modding these older, well built Thorens tables. User510 and The Analogue Dept have provided many good options for updating and improving the Thorens tables. My TD150 includes a custom plinth with an IEC outlet for a separate powercord and adjustable brass cone feet. It also has a custom phenolic armboard for properly mounting the Grace arm. I am seriously considering the purchase of a Music Maker III cartridge for the Thorens as the I much prefer the sound of this table to my Linn."
And:
"Recently, I purchased a modded Thorens TD150 with all of the tweaks noted above. When comparing the Linn LK18 and an ADS XLM cartidges used with both tables, the TD150 is more musical while providing greater soundstage depth and detail. I am much more involved in the music, period. With the tweaks, the Thorens just sounds better to my ears in my listening environment. Does that mean the LP12 is bad? NO! But, when I consider my investment in the Thorens and my potential investment to upgrade the Linn to sound better, the law of diminishing returns tells me to stop investing in the Linn. It is as simple as that."
