Thorens TD 1601 Turntable

RETURN TO THE THORENS DNA WITH ENHANCED FEATURES

The TD 1601 is the consequent further development of the TD 1600 in the direction of extended operating comfort. It has a classic wooden frame, the two-part platter with internal belt and thick rubber mat, an elaborately controlled motor, arm board and acrylic bonnet, and is also full of innovations on the inside and offers additional comfort functions for operation.

The three springs of the sub-chassis do not hang on the top board, but stand on the floor. At the same time, a taut steel thread in the extension of the motor pulley - platter axle axis prevents lateral wobbling and thus ensures a piston-shaped swing of the subchassis even during start-up, when the motor force is strongest and the belt pulls laterally on the platter axle.

In addition, it offers the convenience of a push-button operated electric lift, a non-contact limit stop and fully symmetrical outputs.
