Thorens Tp-63 and Ortofon 2M Red

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

So for Xmas I got my hands on a mint TD-166 with a Signet 7Ea on the arm.
Quick set up using the Shure M97XE I had for backup and it sounds great!
Question #1
Anyone any idea how I can mount my 2M red onto the arm wand?

and
Question #2
failing that is it worth getting a new stylus for the Signet?

The Shure, while not being set up 100% is just a little laid back and the 2M Red blew it out of the water on my Micro Seiki DD-24.
The Thorens is in a different league to the M-S, sound stage is much wider,
bass is more defined and generally a much fuller sound.
The cartridge on the Signet may be ok but it has been sitting in an attic for 15 years so I'd rather not try it.
Happy New Year all!
