| Thorens TD 160 BC mkII [1st unit] belt drive turntable - black : This is a fully manual turntable, which is expected for vintage turntables that are being designed in the late 60s to 70s. With this, you will need to manually move the tonearm to start and stop the playing. But this itself shouldn&srquo;t stop you from purchasing this turntable The Thorens TD-160 MK II turntable uses a floating sub-chassis as well as a belt drive that could run at 2 speeds, which is at 33 1/3 and at 45 rpm This allows you to play most records effectively. There is also the 16 pole synchronous motor that helps to keep the entire turntable running smoothly Also, to ensure that the entire production of sound is smooth, the platter itself is deliberately chosen to weigh at 3.2kg. This will effectively dampen vibrations from sources The platter and armbase are also suspended by three springs Despite being released over four decades ago, the Thorens TD-160 MK II remains a popular choice among audiophiles and music lovers today This is thanks in part to its exceptional sound quality, which is still considered to be among the best of any turntable in its class The Thorens TD-160 MK II is also highly durable, thanks to its high-quality materials and construction, which means that it can still deliver exceptional performance even after years of use Another reason for the continued popularity of the Thorens TD-160 MK II is that it is highly customizable There are a number of upgrades and modifications that can be made to the turntable, such as replacing the tonearm or upgrading the cartridge, which can further enhance its performance and sound quality Considered to be the best manual turntables during its heyday, the Thorens TD-160 MK II turntable can still produce a sound quality that will put most modern turntables to shame While you can always pair an amplifier to the turntable, you might just want to let yourself soak into the sounds that are being produced by this vintage turntable.
