Hello all!
29 years in the wilderness (without a turntable), and recently realised I'm missing an important part of my past, so I bought a secondhand, near mint, Thorens TD 160B MkII without an arm.
This is a dip back into analogue for me and away from the instant, where I can enjoy what vinyl I have left (I will buy more), the random 10% of what my brother didn't sell behind my back when I was at Uni!

Hello Steven. Welcome to AOS.
Nice deck the TD160, plenty of us here have owned them. You'll enjoy using that.

Enjoy the forum,

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Welcome to AoS Steven.
Yes, the Thorens TD160 was a good deck. What arm are you thinking of fitting to it?
Enjoy your analogue re-vist.
