Excellent working condition.

Very easy and quick adjustment for almost all cartridges with the ACOS LUSTRE arm.

Cover (Non Original) included

"I have listened to/lived with almost all of the Thorens suspended turntables from the 60s, 70s, and 80s...and this one is by far the nicest when speaking of units with stock arms. I have owned several TD-125 of various vintage and style, but none of those match the sonics and features of the 126 MKII. Again, this is with the stock arm. I am really anxious to upgrade to an SME or Linn, and see what it can do then!!

 Compared to a Thorens TD-125, it has many similar features (the platter, for example), but is better build (casing, etc.). I don't know why the older TD-125 is better known today, it doesn't make sense. "

I have an Acos Lustre GST1 and an SME 3009 S2 Improved each on almost identical Linn Sondek LP12s from the 70s, each running Ortofon Super OM30 carts. I was quite happy with the SME until I bought another Linn without a tonearm and installed the Acos. The Acos, like the SME is superbly engineered, but the Acos is much more user friendly and you can make adjustments on the fly. To be honest, I've always found the SME to a real PITA, especially height adjustments.The Acos has a brilliant series of dials and levers to make any adjustment dead easy and instant. It's a low mass arm and is well suited to carts like the Shure V15 III and Ortofon Super OM series. I was absolutely gob-smacked by the performance of the Acos. Compared back to back with the SME, it's a no contest really. The sound difference is like comparing an OM10 vs an OM30, so the Acos performance is significantly better than the SME. The Acos has better quality standard cables too. Roy Gandy of Rega is no idiot and it must have been a no-brainer for him to have chosen Acos to make his arms based on the Acos designs. If you have to choose between these two, get the Acos. It's a superb arm when set up correctly. Just make sure the bearings are in good nick.
