Seconded, that's a darn good question! That Thorens looks very intersting (and pretty), but I have no chance to hear one over here. Would also love to play with that Ortofon arm. Quite a haul of gear there for 1 column of rack!
Cool that you've also got a Jade -- I've run mine on the Clearaudio/Graham and also a SOTA/Fidelity Research before that. Love that cartridge -- I find it well worth the money over the (very nice) RSP. Also noticed some differences between the Onyx and Jade, but can't be sure whether that's just from unit-to-unit variation. But the stone bodies definitely have cleaner treble and more solid bass than the wood, and mids at least on par.
