125 Years of Thorens

Thorens appeared in the era when the world was blooming with technological advances. The lightbulb, microphone, photography, motion pictures, sonar and aeroplane are some of the inventions from that time that shaped the world as we know it now.

The presence of Thorens in the 21st century is a privilege and we hope you will find  a quiet space to enjoy some vinyl soon!

In this newsletter we introduce the new Thorens TD700, draw your attention to the TD160 and its recent review in a prestige Hi-Fi magazine and announce new colours for existing models.

Thorens TD170 EV

Playing your records doesn't have to involve tweaking or time consuming adjustments. Designed for simple operation, the fully automatic function sets the needle on the record, returns it to its resting place at the end and shuts off the drive motor.

Despite the essential attributes, there is real technology under the cover. A Thorens precision belt drive system and an electronically controlled DC motor system provide stable speed control. And with a low noise bearing system and a distortion-free aluminium platter, TD 170 provides exceptional sonic performance and long life. And it even plays 78s!

TD 170 is fitted with magnetic anti-skate tonearm system and a genuine Danish made Ortofon OM10 cartridge

Thorens platter mat

The 2-part non-static platter mat consists of fine granules made to effectively suppress the typical resonances generated in vinyl records during playback and to provide a silent foundation.

The two parts are designed to compensate for records of various thickness without having to adjust vertical tracking alignment. Thorens Platter mat really works with very noticeable increases in clarity across the frequency spectrum.
