Thorens has\u00a0unveiled the\u00a0TD 1500 turntable, which should bring fond memories to aksakals among record lovers: the design of the model is taken from the TD 150 turntable, created by Thorens in 1965 and sold in hundreds of thousands of copies.<\/p>\n

As in the original model, a belt drive was used in the novelty, and the sub-chassis was also cushioned on three springs.\u00a0But unlike the TD 150, these conical springs can now be adjusted from above.\u00a0There is no need to remove the 1.5 kg die-cast aluminum disc, which is powered by an electronically controlled DC motor.\u00a0Speeds 33-1 \/ 3 or 45 rpm are electronically switchable.<\/p>\n

The novelty received its own adjustable in height and azimuth tonearm with a standard mount for the SME-type shell.\u00a0Anti-skating is set using a sliding weight on a nylon thread running through a ruby \u200b\u200bbearing.\u00a0The out-of-the-box model is equipped with an Ortofon 2M Bronze MM cartridge with a Fine Line cut needle.<\/p>\n
