The Thorens TD 160 HD is a modern interpretation of the classic TD 160 turntable, initially released in 1972. This updated model was introduced after the brand's revival in the 21st century and aims to blend vintage aesthetics with contemporary technology. It features a belt-driven sub-platter design and utilizes a three-spring suspension system that isolates the subchassis, incorporating both the platter and tonearm securely. The acrylic platter contributes to improved sonic performance, while a solid bottom plate design is reminiscent of Clearlight Audio products. Electronic speed control enhances usability by allowing for precise adjustments. The tonearm is similar to the Rega RB250, known for its upgrade potential. Various modifications, such as a stainless steel counterweight end stub and higher quality signal wiring, can be made to optimize the performance of the turntable. This model has been recognized in several industry awards, emphasizing its quality and performance in the audiophile community.
