I marvel at the tonearm and can attest that it tracks beautifully across the entire groove- no better test than piano or trumpet (classical) and is rock solid at 33 and the plinth allows no footfall problems that a Thorens has. Sonically, it made mincemeat of my TD165 with an M97XE just as it is as a barn find. But, out od a long retirement, I'm extremely impressed with the speed stability and classic idler wheel punch- even if only on an M55 with a stylus of unknown age. I've done my research and know I'll need to get in to the greasing, but that's no different than the Duals. This deck came to me via a 'free to you' site and hadn't been used in 20 years.
In my 50's now, I still have a Sony PS 3300, a pair of Thorens 160 series (one of each), a Lenco L75, and an armada of Duals including my (previously) favourite, a 1019.
