Our turntables are lovingly assembled, modified and assembled by hand. Each of them is unique and differs in model, colour, veneer grain. The high-quality cases are restored or newly manufactured in qualified craftsmanship. Electrical components are checked, moving parts are oiled and wearing parts are replaced. A final endurance test completes the complex work.

Housing:
The housing was coated with precious wood veneer. The veneer was cut into different veneer parts and put together (mirrored) to form a uniform veneer pattern. This technique is very complex, but impresses with its unique appearance. The surface is sealed and polished with several layers of high-gloss lacquer with appropriate intermediate sanding.

absorber plate:
Specially constructed absorber plate. The absorption of low frequencies and material vibrations takes place on two levels.
Level 1: On the top of the base there is integrated vibration absorption using 5 absorbers made of felt. An absorber is centered under the base plate and eliminates the negative vibrations of the often criticized tin tub. Another 4 absorbers are located under the feet of the turntable.
Level 2: 4 height-adjustable spikes made of chrome-plated stainless steel on the underside of the absorber plate.
This double absorption results in a significantly improved sound image.

pickup:
Ortofon Vinyl Master Alpha.
Very good beginner. Fully-fledged pickup that harmonises with many tonearms. Convinces with temperament and a neutral basic character.

Big PSU:
A new power supply unit is included in the scope of delivery. This power pack has twice the power of the original power pack. Performance bottlenecks and heating up no longer occur.

Audio cable:
brand cable. Ready-made analog audio cinch cable for wiring turntables! Thanks to the particularly high-quality inner conductor made of oxygen-free copper (OFC), this quality cable ensures natural signal transmission. Contact security and protection against corrosion is guaranteed by the 24 carat gold-plated plug contacts. The cable has a neutral sound with good dynamics and spatiality.

Turntable:
In five complex and time-consuming work steps, the turntable is polished to a high gloss.
The mirror finish gives your turntable a unique look. With surface sealing by a special protective coating against repeated tarnishing and for a long-lasting shine.

Device feet:
So that the turntable is decoupled from low-frequency vibrations, the chassis is equipped with height-adjustable spikes made of chrome-plated stainless steel. Resonance and feedback are thus effectively prevented.

Drive belt:
This drive belt is manufactured to original Thorens specifications (same material and dimensions).

record weight:
With a weight of 310g, it ensures that the record lies flat on the platter and runs smoothly. This record weight is in the middle "weight class. It builds up just enough weight to dampen the vibrations of the record without stressing the bearing bushes. The suspension of the Thorens sub-chassis has been readjusted accordingly. By using it, you increase the sound performance of your system.
