It may change your listening habits once you get it. But my next goal/experiment is trying to maximize the tone, richness and warmth of streaming digital since I am completely enamored with the variety, flexibility and convenience of services like Rhapsody. See my post on the subject.

That was a TT I really wanted to take a look at, but that proved impossible. If you want to sell them, you've got to have people to carry them.

I noticed in the video, the tone arm is different than the one in the photo above. Thorens must be offering this turntable with multiple tone arms.

I am still wanting to audition the Pro-ject X-Tension.

Vinyl is my main source, and at 10-12 grand it is out of my reach!


Sure is pretty though...

Acoustic Sounds has six different configurations of the Thorens TD-550 turntable from $11.9K to $13K. She sure is a looker.
