Thorens TD-201 *glossy black*

The Thorens TD 201 is a manual belt-driven turntable finished in black, designed for audiophiles seeking precise vinyl playback with traditional operation. This turntable features a belt-drive system that minimizes motor vibration transmission to the platter, resulting in reduced acoustic feedback and improved sound clarity. The manual operation requires the user to lift and place the tonearm at the beginning of each record side, offering direct control over the playback process. The TD 201 includes a high-quality tonearm with adjustable counterweight and anti-skate control for optimal tracking force and reduced record wear. It accommodates standard moving magnet or moving coil cartridges, allowing customization based on listener preference. The plinth construction utilizes damped materials to absorb resonance, while the heavy platter provides stable rotation at 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds. Connectivity includes RCA outputs for connection to a phono preamplifier or amplifier with phono input. The turntable measures approximately 43 cm in width, 35 cm in depth, and 13 cm in height, with a weight of 6.8 kg. Designed for enthusiasts who appreciate the ritual of vinyl playback, the Thorens TD 201 combines traditional turntable engineering with reliable performance for long-term listening enjoyment.
