pretty neat, and a tip of the hat to someone who has enough ear information to be able to tell one model from another. That's the good thing about turntables, the job hasn't changed, a bulls eye product is still just as on target as ever.
IF I sound biased, it is because I own a very different, yet still considered classic design, the Michell gyro. Still for sale after about what, 30-40 years?.
The closest I ever got to owning a thorns was a startlingly overpriced end of record lift, which turned out to be also a classic design, still sold today, but not by Thorens. Still overpriced, but what are you going to do, except go without.
I remember the store well, it had , I suppose, every thorns model on display on a long two level island, up by the front , so they could be seen through the store windows. perhaps they had duplicates displayed, they had a lot. When I saw the prices, I didn't hang around. It was someplace up in Beverly Hills and long gone by now.
Thorens was their high line product. the second line product was Kenwood with direct drive, which I bought. It was a very pretty object, and rocked the house when needed, always working flawlessly. Nice table but used mass for sonic isolation over suspension, which has obvious cost problems when you have to ship the things worldwide.
