What turntable next?


After getting back into vinyl a year ago and totally enjoying it I am looking to upgrade my current turntable. I bought a restored vintage Thorens 125 Mk2 with a brand new SME M2-9 arm and Rondo Ortofon MC cartridge. I know the Thorens is a very good setup but since I haven't listened to a lot of TT's I am looking for a significant step up in sound. I would be open to belt, idler and direct drives. New or used is fine. Budget $5000 - $10,000 (includes table & arm)

I am a huge fan of my Townshend Rock 7, which I have paired with a Moerch DP-8 arm. Great stuff. Robert Greene's reviews capture the sound of these nicely.
Try Peter at PBN Audio they make quality turntables and you can select the arm of your choice. Best of Luck
