In Reply to: Receiver and speakers to complement Thorens td 160? posted by Dean1 on December 29, 2014 at 07:05:33:
My 160 came to me right after they were introduced and through thick and thin has never failed me, disappointed me or lost a contest. Most recently my Thorens TD125 and Empire 598III both left leaving the 160 as my only remaining table.
As for a receiver and speakers. Well, I have had mine on from bargain basement systems to systems today that used sell in the 6-figure range. The bigger issue is to mate the right cartridge to the phono pre and that to all else.
Speakers are a big part of the system sound and the cartridge is next. Listen for speaker you like. I currently am running 4 very different sounding and different designs and each like for different reasons. I likely could dial the system in better with a cartridge competition but, find running covers most bets. The stock arm is better than many say which, I do not understand. It is quite balanced in sonic character and quite bullet proof.
