Agreed. Many of the Thorens tonearms sound far better than folk give them credit for.That'll sound grand, that.
I tried a couple of arms on my old TD125 and the best sounding was the stock arm, when it is all up and running as it should you'll have to spend a decent amount to better it.
I ran a Grace F9E on the same model that Del has there for a number of years during the '80s. Admittedly, the Grace improved when I changed out to a Mission 774 tonearm, however, it sounded worse overall on a Basik LV-X, with hot singles like Yazoo's 'Situation' leaving Alison Moyet sounding as though she were singing 'Spituation'!
