What's Spinning

I'm not a huge fan of vintage gear, unless it's the good stuff. You understand good stuff. That's a beautiful Thorens/SME.

Thank you! I agree with you about vintage gear. Been through enough vintage speakers/amps/tables to know vintage just isn't worth it... until it's really worth it. But all the vintage stuff has its quirks no matter what you do. Like if you're used to dead quiet motors then you're going to be in for a nice surprise because these old idler drives are far from silent. That was something I had to get used to at first, and I have a relatively quiet running deck, too. Now I appreciate the mechanical symphony. So I'd never go back to vintage for any of my other gear, but I'm willing to make a little sacrifice for these Thorens decks... well, not much of a sacrifice.
