Ultimate quality is of no importance anymore so my money will more than likley be a Pioneer 'PL112' With a black Ash finished bottom half of the plinth they can mingle into a modern surrounding just fine. A semi Auto version: 'PL115' would be better for me being lazy nowadays. |

I thought you'd chucked the Thorens out and sold the nice bits you'd bought - sorry (hang on, I seem to remember you'd bought another  ). A 160 motor would solve your criticism though as th eplatter starts so much quicker and offers less strain on the belt, but I shan't mention it again. I'll say this though anyway, that high speed induction/synchronous motors as used in originally lower cost Jap decks vibrate and can put a high-bass drone harmonic into the sound as picked up by the stylus. This is one area the TD150/160 are good as they offer silence apart from groove roar in the background. Direct drive if dsone right is still best, but the cheap OE=M Matsushita motor wasn't at all good for dynamic wow. the two SL1500mk1's I've had here are absolutely fuss-free superb though with a cork mat on top of the thick rubber original to get the arm level with a modern techie shell. Just site as a Rega and take the lid off when playing.
P.S. the PL-112D looked fab but I didn't like it sound-wise at the time and it never sold as well as its increasingly shabby predecessor which was noticeably worse in 12D mk2 form. A pal of mine bought a 112D, re-did the plinth which had peeling 'veneer' and it looked great when done and with a modern cartridge found it very nice indeed!

I did buy another another that and some more sole jobbies. Theres a firm somewhere that makes some new made isolation system for the Pioneer as you know these is a plate with a suspension that can be altered by the user for bounce. |

I’m reading The Synronicity Key by David Wilcox. It’s an alternative view on the nature of the universe. Good in parts.
