Hello all,

I have been a lurker on this site for the past month or so and thought it was about time I introduced myself. I listen to pretty much vinyl only, but I am considering the possibility of streaming some music too. My current system is pretty minimalist and comprises of a Rega RP3, amptastic mini1, creek obh 21se, project phono box and wharfedale diamond 9.0 speakers. It is fairly modest but does the job for me. I also have a Thorens TD 160 which I am planning to fix up plies a NAD c320bee amp and NAD c521i CD player which I am considering offloading as I don't use either of them anymore.

Musically I listen to bit of everything but particularly punk, reggae, ska and 60s-90s rock. I have just started to dip my toe into jazz as well.

This forum has been really useful to me so far just from searching previous posts for inspiration and advice and I hope that it will be even more useful now I am a more active member.

Phil

Hi Phil. Welcome to AOS.

I bet you'll enjoy fixing up your TD160. There are many Thorens users here, so if you want advice just ask away in the Analogue Art section.

Have you got no CDs left? If you still have some, you may want to consider keeping the player. CD still has a lot to offer and NAD units are usually pretty good.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Hello Phil,

Welcome to AoS and a happy New Year to you as well.

There are a few Thorens 160 owners here, so if you need any information - ask away. Same goes for jazz! :)

Welcome again and enjoy the Forum

Regards
Barry

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I have a few questions about repairs and mods to my Thorens - would I be better to post them on the analogue art or DIY boards?

Thanks,
Phil
