As the thread is off the rails for now...
The one Thorens has a plinth made of three layers of marine plywood, and sports an SME III tonearm. The other Thorens is just painted black (any good audio equipment has to be black imho) and is equipped with an tangential air bearing MG1.   I have no interest on keeping electronic artifacts I use pristine for collectors purposes. I change them and - sometimes - succeed in "upgrading" them, making them more useful. |

QUOTE (kraut @ Feb 7 2012, 20:34)  (any good audio equipment has to be black imho) Well ... a web search suggests that the JBL Paragon was at one point in time available in black, so ... that means Avantgarde has no valid excuse anymore? I'm willing to forgive these guys for choosing red, though. It probably doesn't make the big difference to the spouse acceptance factor: http://www.mollamusic.com/uploads/images/w..._18-08-2004.jpg Edit: Haha! http://community.klipsch.com/forums/storag...20119967914.jpg This post has been edited by Porcus: Feb 7 2012, 22:52 -------------------- geocities.com/hydrogenaudio: http://goo.gl/tqYZj
