New turntable: Thorens TD125 Mkii


This weekend I finally got to pick up my new record player. When I say new, I mean most recent one as this baby is 25 years old at the very least. A few weeks ago, I walked into this local vintage audio store for the first time. I take a walk around and marvel at the various amplifiers, receivers and turntables around. There's junk absolutely everywhere. As I leisurely discover the shop, my eyes fall upon this machine. I didn't think I would buy a new record player but this was too good to turn down. It's a fantastic piece of gear and finally I can enjoy records properly. When you love records as much as I do, a top TT is a must. The first record I played on this M.O.N.S.T.E.R was a Penguin Cafe Orchestra LP. Lovely sounds for a spring afternoon.

Oh, and this thing weighs 17 kgs!!!
