The tonearm is a unipivot which would disqualify it for me. Your Thorens is a better turntable. I think you would be going backwards. You are better off spending the money on a new cartridge like any of the high output Soundsmith cartridges or the Clearaudio MM cartridges.
The Wand turntable
Does anyone have at home or have listened The Wand turntable, by NZL Design Build Listen?
I have seen some reviews about the wand tonearm, but nothing about the turntable+tonearm.
I come from a Thorens 160 + Linn basik plus tonearm + Sumiko Blue point 2 (and I would keep this cartridge).
Many friends of mine suggest me to buy Michell Gyrodec, but I do not like very much the Michell tonearm.
So I am watching this NZL turntable: it looks a very good tonearm but a poor turntable.

In case that helps. https://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/wand_turntable_e.html And for me it has the motor at the right position. A better cartridge is a good thought. |
In case that helps.Thanks. I did know this review, but it is not rich of technical details. |
