Thorens

The history of Thorens begins in Sainte-Croix in the Swiss Jura in 1883, when Hermann Thorens had the company entered in the commercial register. The purpose of the company is the manufacture of music boxes and musical works. In 1957 the era of turntables began, which brought the Thorens brand to world fame. In the 1990s, the company, like other record player producers, suffered tremendously from the pressure of the CD. Heinz Rohrer, a Swiss businessman, acquires the trademark rights and becomes Thorens owner. In April 2018, Rohrer sold the company to the former ELAC managing director Gunter Kürten due to a lack of succession planning. On May 1, 2018, the newly founded Thorens GmbH in Bergisch Gladbach commences business operations. hifi12a is authorized Thorens dealer.

Semi-automatic high-end turntable with sub-chassis, two-part platter, electronic lift, limit switch and new Thorens TP 160 tonearm with knife edge bearing. The TD 1601 has a damped sub-chassis that decouples the turntable and tonearm board from the motor and frame using three conical springs on the base of the device. A tensioned steel cable in the extension of the motor/plate bearing axis prevents lateral wobbling and thus ensures piston-shaped oscillation of the sub-chassis even when the device starts up. A sophisticated motor control system with a high-quality, external power supply ensures a constant speed with exact synchronization.

In addition to the usual RCA sockets, the device also has XLR outputs, which enable true balanced operation with a suitable MC pickup. The TD 1601 is available in high-gloss walnut or high-gloss black.

Excellent belt driven turntable with the newly developed Thorens TP 150 tonearm. The TD 1500, which can be operated purely manually, has a sub-chassis that decouples the turntable and the tonearm from the motor and frame with three conical springs. These springs can be adjusted from above through corresponding holes in the platter, which makes correct adjustment much easier. The 1.4kg heavy and 22mm thick cast aluminum platter with polished surface rotates in a bearing with a Delrin bearing mirror, which ensures that it runs extremely smoothly. The speed of the 12V DC motor is electronically controlled by an incremental encoder and deviations are automatically corrected. This ensures very good wow and flutter values. In addition to the usual cinch sockets, the device also has XLR outputs, which enable real balanced operation with a suitable MC cartridge.

The TD 1500 is available in walnut high-gloss or black high-gloss. Delivery either a) without a cartridge (Thorens headshell included), b) with a high-quality Ortofon 2M Bronze (MM pickup) c) with the excellent in-house MC pickup Thorens TAS 1500 or d) with the outstanding Dynavector DV 20X2 L (also MC).
