The main platter disc edge was polished in chrome. RCA standard cable plate at the base of the SME. You can also tell us your stabilizer weight and we will tune the sub-chassis for free. Still one of Thorens' most sought after and respected turntables, completed with the excellent SME arm. This allows you to play most records effectively. The stabilizer from the pictures cost an additional 60 €. 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. The fully-loaded sub-chassis (platter, mat, vinyl and stabilizer) must be parallel to the supporting chassis. The suspended sub-chassis will be tuned for use both with or without a stabilizer. All of the soldering was done using audiophile silver solder WBT-0820 and flux X-M3 (no traces of alcohol).
The old cables were replaced with new audiophile high quality cables and gold plated RCA plugs. Correctly set, the MK V is still an excellent device that needs no comparison to shy away. Aktuelle Preise fr Produkte vergleichen Heute bestellen, versandkostenfrei Die.
