    My favourite is Trio/Kenwood PC-400U which is like a Thorens TD124, only better built and better looking!

    Had to look up that one. Can't be too many belt/idler hybrid TTs around.



    Regarding cosmetics - well that is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer the Thorens 124/II.

    Tremendous looking turntables, Andre, which no doubt sound great. That Trio 3030 is trouser-tenting stuff!

    Any idea which cartridge is on the arm, which looks rather like an Ortofon? Maybe some form of SPU?
