I'm currently looking for my "last" turntable (under the assumption that
I'll soon have a CD and will be buying/playing fewer albums).  I want a
very high-quality table, at least semi-automatic (I'm lazy!).

The most attractive one I've found so far is the Thorens TD146.  Does
anyone out there have any comments/experiences with this table, the
TP 11 Mk III arm (weight-and-string anti-skate), or Thorens in general?

I'm also trying to decide what cartridge to put in it.  The store is
pushing Adcom "high-output" moving-coil cartridges, which are supposed
to work OK with a standard (i.e. moving-magnet) preamp.  Is anyone
familiar with these cartridges?  Unfortunately the store doesn't have
a real extensive selection of cartridges to choose from.  I haven't had 
time to sit down and seriously audition the Adcom yet, but I thought I 
would see if anyone else knew anything about it.

Thanks in advance for any help.  Please respond BY MAIL -- our news
connection has been VERY sporadic lately.  (I'm not even positive this
note will make it OUT!)
