Thorens TD 1500 Turntable

Thorens TD 1500 Turntable

The Thorens TD1500 is the highly anticipated successor to the iconic TD150 turntable, known for its groundbreaking contributions to the hi-fi industry. Building upon its legendary predecessor, the TD1500 features a sub-chassis with three conical springs that effectively isolate the tonearm shelf and turntable from the frame and motor. In a significant improvement, these springs are now adjustable from above, providing easier access for customization.

Precise Speed Control

The TD1500 takes speed control to the next level with its electronically monitored DC motor. Equipped with an incremental encoder, this turntable ensures a steady and accurate RPM, eliminating any deviations. As a result, the TD1500 boasts exceptional wow and flutter values, guaranteeing a truly immersive listening experience.

XLR Outputs and Ortofon Cartridge

One of the standout features of the Thorens TD1500 is its inclusion of XLR outputs alongside the pair of RCA jacks. This unique feature enables true balanced operation when paired with a compatible MC cartridge. To complement this capability, the TD1500 comes standard with the Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge. This exceptional cartridge is equipped with a naked diamond Fine Line stylus, delivering remarkable audio fidelity.

Cutting-Edge TP 150 Tonearm

The Thorens TD1500 showcases the newly developed TP 150 Tonearm, designed to elevate your listening experience. With an effective mass of 14 grams, this tonearm allows for precise adjustments in azimuth and height, enhancing channel separation and reducing cross talk. Additionally, the TP 150 Tonearm features a standard SME connector, facilitating easy headshell switching and compatibility with various cartridges.
