Thorens TD150

2-Speed Belt-Drive Suspended Chassis turntable available in mkI form (1965-1968) and mkII (1969-1973).

A prefix models came fitted with a tonearm but no base, B came with a base but no tonearm, and AB was a complete unit including base.

Description

The handsome slim line chassis of the TD-150 two speed integrated transcription turntable houses a host of advanced design features.

Conveniently positioned on the front is the precision cueing synchroniser.

Isolated from the tonearm, it suspends and lowers the arm smoothly and gently into the groove, extending the life of the stylus and record.

The anti-skate control maintains stylus position precisely on both walls of the stereo groove for distortion free reproduction.

The TD-150 tonearm has an adjustable low-mass plug-in headshell.

This permits tracking angle adjustment to an ideal 15 degree angle. Low friction accommodates high compliance cartridges.

The tonearm balance and stylus tracking force regulation allows half gram adjustments down to 0.5g.

Tracking error is below 0.2% cm of radius.

Finally, the action glide speed adjustment on the TD-150 changes speed smoothly and rapidly without jolting the stylus.
