  • Great Cartridge Just not for a Thorens TD 160
This is a very good cartridge. It has plenty of great reviews. This version, the Verso, mounts from the bottom. The screws go up into the headshell. That is the way it is done on a Thorens TP16. That is why I got this version, the Verso. The basic 2M Red mounts from the top like most cartridges. There is only one problem. Since the top of the headshell has a decrative plate on it, the screws must be the exact right length. Too short and they will not engage, too long and the screw could make contact and put a dent in the underside of the plate. The screws that were in the cartridge were the wrong diameter. a second set of screws (metric 2 mm) were provided but they were too long. I'm going to get a cartridge that is easier to mount. That is only because I have the Thorens TP16 headshell. Most other headshells would not be such a problem. ... show more

  • Bolt post are same size & location as needle cartridge w/ holes, held on by cap screws.
Bolt post are same size & location as needle cartridge w/ holes, held on by cap screws. This is important to know since I could not find the cartridge with bolt posts at all. In my opinion, the sound is excellent.

  • Great cartridge.
I needed it for my Thorens TD 166MkII I only needed the body for my thorens. I already had the 2m blue but it was not verso and the Schopper tonearm wand that fit the top mount 2m blue was too heavy for the cartridge. So I'm using the original wand, red body and blue stylus. Both the blue and red use the same body with different color logo, a black sharpie and I have no logo. ... show more

  • great sound
This little red gem was hard to install on my Thorens TD-160. The headshell screws were too long and protruded through the backside and raised the metallic Thorens emblem. So I had to dremel off the excess. The sound is a very noticeable improvement in accuracy and depth. I was blown away how much better this cart sounded in relation to my Shure MX97E. ... show more

  • Very good performance
I purchased the verso version of the red model specifically for the under mount, bottom up screws required for my Thorens TD160 turntable. It's a really good value cartridge, tracks well and sounds great. I like it as much as the Denon cartridge I had 20 years ago that cost $225, back then.

The perfect budget conscious upgrade to older bottom attaching cartridges. Excellent sound quality and upgradability!

  • Compares well to the blue
Have this one and the blue both on same turntable thorens td-160 and have to say they are almost identical in sound quality. For the price and for the production can’t be beat
