RE: I'm kind of wondering......

.....if the current manufacturer of this product has any relation to the Thorens Export Co. I do believe that the current proprietor/investment group that owns Thorens also purchased the name and everything that went with it....including rights to legacy product.

Not only does the name (Q up) directly link to that former Thorens product; the Thorens Q-up, and so also does the design seems to be of similar if not same basic architecture.

Hmm. Pahmer Enterprises is the name at the website. Do they purchase a license from Thorens to market this item? Or is Pahmer Enterprises somehow related to Thorens? Inquisitive pea-brains want to know. The Thorens Export Co. has been known to get "very protective" about what it views to be its property.


Back in the day The Thorens Q-Up was a $10.00 item hanging off the wall in a plastic blister pack at yer local Hi-Fi dealer. I suppose $60 in today's currency seems in-step with forty years of inflation.
