Everything about this turntable is detail. Built by a master of the vintage Thorens. Mint, a 10 out of 10. The unit plus the cartridge has less than 150 hours on it. I fell in love the first record I put on it and still do. Read on as to why I'm selling it.

A nifty turntable that I've been playing with, the Thorens TD-160 "Super" repro from Vinyl Nirvana


I custom ordered this from Vinyl Nirvana the fall of 2017. I now have a friend who is selling me his restored TD-124 I just can't pass up and with no room for 2, I have to give this up. It is an outstanding suspended turn table. Anyone looking for their old soul mate TD-160 or any newcomer to vinyl will love this. It is quiet as a church mouse; complete black when nothing is playing and well crafted. 
TD-160 Super reproduction from Vinyl Nirvana; upgraded suspension, damping, wires, upgraded base as seen in the pics, new top plate Jelco 750D arm Ortefon 2M Bronze (Optional : if you don't need a cart, then we can deduct and find a price) Brazilian Cherry custom wood plinth- high quality and joined corners (this is craftmanship) Bren Weight Cork/Rubber composite mat Custom acrylic set-on style dust cover

"Meeting the other “obligations” for the Super designation were simple.  The damping is something I’ve been doing to various tables for years, mostly at the request of customers.  The plinths are our own custom plinths, which exceed the quality of the Thorens in terms of being solid wood, not veneer.  Finally, the dustcover is set-on style, eliminating the need for hinges altogether.

Performance-wise, having both a genuine Thorens TD-160 Super and my reproduction sitting side by side on my bench, it is easy to argue that this reproduction should actually exceed the performance of a stock TD-160 Super because of the increased mass and density of the solid wood plinths" from vinyl nirvana

“Having been a reviewer for almost fifteen years, I’ve had the opportunity to listen to hundreds of turntables and cartridges and only a handful left enough of an impression to warrant a purchase. So what does a jaded ex-reviewer who crossed over into the world of public relations listen to at home? Only two turntable brands grace my home. VPI and Vinyl Nirvana. My Thorens TD-160 Super [Reproduction] is a stunning piece of work and there are few that can match Dave’s dedication to perfection and customer service. He’s a mensch who goes the extra mile for his customers and it’s hard to imagine buying from anyone but him or the legendary Harry Weisfeld. Yeah, he’s that good.”
