Linn Basik + Akito + k18

Posted by: Robbie on 19 February 2003

Gents,

At the moment got an old Thorens td-160mk2 for playing records.I know there's linn Basik + Akito arm+K18 cart for sale for 200euro(=130pound).
Is this a reasonable price ?
Better than the Thorens?

Regards,
Rob.

Hi Robbie

I doubt if you would get a fundamental musical improvement moving from TD 160 to Basik. There would be changes tonally for sure. Thorens decks were quite good IMHO. Better to look at Rega 3/RB300 for more PRaT or better still Linn Axis or newer Rega models.

Yours in Music
