Simple in theory but technical in its construction, the Thorens TD-160 is a belt driven turntable with a floating sub-chassis suspended by three adjustable springs. The sub-chassis carry the main bearing via a mounting platform for its pickup arm. Which means that the turntable platter and arm are both rigidly coupled to a common sprung chassis, making them entirely independent of the plinth. When adjusted correctly, this innovative design ensures exceptional isolation from feedback and plays a vital role in the fidelity of the deck.

To this day, the Thorens TD-160 is the deck of choice for turnable enthusiasts who are seeking a collectable piece of audiophile history that will provide amazing sound quality from a solidly made unit built to last.
