Other Notes: "It’s a $3500 turntable and arm combination that will allow the listener to hear great analog sound, one that’s a mixture of many different tastes because all of those tastes have their merits. No zero-sum game here, no having to give up low noise for a more vibrant presentation. The Thorens TD-1601 can offer this level of performance for a very simple reason—it’s a very simple design from the start, one that’s always sounded good. We’ve figured this one out fifty, sixty years ago or more and then we sped off into the sunset toward direct drive, linear tracking tonearms and ultimately the compact disc. That’s why some of us have returned to old idler-drives and competent belt-drives from companies such as Thorens, Garrard, Lenco and EMT. That’s a fascinating little feature on the analog horizon, and Thorens knows it." -Part Time Audiophile
