I just finished hanging a 681 onto a Thorens arm.

and listening to it as I write this...that is identical to the one I have, but the brush has been removed on mine. (just twist brush assbly. and pull gently if you wish to remove it).

It is the sound I fell in love with when I first got into the hobby..Thorens TD160 with Stanton 681 cartridge. Very smooth and articulate, a late night sound.

  if I turn the volume very high...where I don't think I would, but I'm crossing my fingers.
  
  When I had the system on a power conditioner I'm reviewing, there was NOTHING, so I'm wondering whether the BrickWall is damaged.
  
  I'm going to put everything onto a cheap conditioner (RCA) and then onto the Spiritual Audio VX-9 (OHMYGOD!) and listen, if there's no hum I guess I buy a new PC.
  
  But the sound, with some of the wire changes I've made, is NOT a vintage sound. It is "wrap a blanket 'round both of your knees and cuddle in front of the fire" sound, not overly warm but very articulate along with being cozy. Scott=60's; Planex planar=60's; turntables, Kenwood late 70's; Thorens=late 70's.

One of the reasons I have a couple knocking about too. The Pickering version.
