Product of the Year 2008 by hi-fi+ magazine:
"A classic in every sense of the word."

'Am I really suggesting that the 160 is a viable alternative to a fully loaded Linn? I don’t know, not having heard the latest LP12, but I’m confident that the Thorens will give any of the previous Linn incarnations a run for their money. Yes, the TD160HD really is that good. In fact, this Thorens has to represent one of the biggest analogue bargains of all time. Given the dedicated following that still clings to the Linn and the stratospheric price rises on that product, let alone all the analogue newbies and born-agains, the TD160HD could (and should) be the most significant analogue product launched in the UK this year. Suddenly, being sensible seems almost… sensible!'
