Hello,

I need help on deciding which turntable to buy. The local audio store has one demo item a pro-ject carbon for $359, and he also has a used old Thorens TD-145 ( i think its a ealy 80's model ) for 420 bucks. My question is which one is better ? the guy in the store had a opinion that the older turntable sound much better than the newer ones. I am thinking arent the new cartridges much better now with better technology ? Any thoughts ?

not sure what was on the THORENS, the guy said it still has the original cartridge. the Pro-ject has the Ortofon 2M
Is it the Ortofon 2M red? I have that on my ProJect Xpression and its a great sounding catridge/table.

most likely the 2M red, as that is stock cart on the Carbon model. Keep in mind, the 2M red is ~$100 new.
