Place that does Thorens upgrades?

Post by Andy3223 »

Hi all

First post here, am living in Dublin, does anyone know companies or individuals (apart from Hi-fi Hospital) who can upgrade Thorens TTs? Ive a TD 160 that is great sounding but I want to get the most out of it by getting someone to upgrade it with better rcas, a grounding post, adjust springs etc, like the Vinyl Nirvana mods in the States type things, I'm useless at DIY otherwise would do it myself?

Cheers for reply, that's a real pity and surprising, I know a few people who would avail of it, you would think there would be a few people with the skills.
