The problem I seem to remember was the pin arrangement may have been different on the Thorens arm; something like the Grace arm using a different pin lay out on its arm cable so that no other cable will work. I believe all SME standard pin arrangements are indeed for S shaped arms; I can't recall a single straight arm that uses it. SMEs new straight arms, such as the 309, use a different system entirely. If, as I seem to remember, the Thorens is a straight arm this is probably why it does not use a standard SME connection if it in fact does not. The headshell would be out of alignment as Nandric points out.
help with Thorens headshell
anyone know where I can get a tp50? or is the "removable" headshell standardized so that any would work?
i have a Td135 and the removable headship completely covers the cart making alignment nearly impossible - plus it just looks far far far too old school for me.
i'd like to put the Thorens tp-50 on, but if I can't get my hads on one - anything that would fit, i'd consider.
thanks
