"The dynamic envelope, bandwidth, transparency and range of expression available puts many a high-end CD player to shame – and quite a few wannabe turntables too.
It’s this chameleon quality that underpins the stellar musical contribution of the Thorens, that allows it to put the music so firmly first.
It has an innate, almost preternatural grasp of music’s rhythm and tempo, and an ability to match its pace – and shifts in pace – that allows it to live and breathe.
The best thing about the TD160’s inherent honesty, its reluctance to step forward in the process, is that it allows records to speak for themselves rather than standing over them, pointing out their shortcomings.
This ability to embrace the emotional compass of a performance is exactly why you should invest in analogue in the first place. The Thorens delivers a more immediate return on your investment than any other deck I’ve tried near the price.
Yes, the TD160HD really is that good. In fact, this Thorens has to represent one of the biggest analogue bargains of all time."
