Probably not much in it either way soundwise. The Thorens is better made. I've seen a few tired bearings and peeling veneer on the later ARs. Both will out perform a Rega Planar 3 for instance in my opinion.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Sorry, I'd closed the tab so then paraphrased but confusingly paraphrased in quotes..

Is he ordering fish and chips?
COD I guess means Cash on Delivery? That doesn't even relate to normal Ebay expectations so I'd guess he's more used to doing dodgy deals in a world outside of ebay and now moved on to this.

The link I had to the Marantz 2 listing no-longer goes anywhere... so hopefully Ebay has notified the winning bidder and taken away their option to make payment.
I've had that before, with a message saying that an item I'd bid on was suspicious and that I didn't need to complete the transaction. In that case I'd guessed it was dodgy but was taking the chance by instisting I collected in person - I never heard back.

This has got to be good and fun for a tenner!

I've seen one of those tuners before and they're very pretty in an 80s way. Best of all though, with the remote unit, find a Kenwood/Trio KD4100 turntable and you get yourself a remote controlled record deck!
Here's a photo of the system from a catalogue courtesy of www.fmtunerinfo.com (sounds like the tuner isn't very good by their standards though):
