Re: Thorens players tend to live long lives.........

I'm not at all surprised your TD320 is still going strong. In "Thorens Years" it is still just a puppy.

I bought my TD160 new in 1975. This one still operates like new, but it sounds better than new after I made some upgrades a few years back.

Currently I'm listening to a Teres model 145. This player I bought from Teres Audio in 2001. It's holding up very well, and this is what you expect from a belt drive player. The only thing to wear on belt drive players are the drive belt, motor/electronics and the platter bearing. Tonearms tend to last a long time when not damaged. Phono cartridges will wear out their stylii with regular play. I tend to think of these as "consumable".
