Thorens TD-309 turntable in gloss red, ex-display clearance!

The TD 309 is made in Germany and sets new standards in vinyl analogue replay. This turntable's innovative three-point-suspension (Tri-Balance) ensures perfect balance in both mechanical and aesthetic terms. Form and function work in harmony to make the TD 309 a turntable that is guaranteed to reveal the magic of analogue replay. Features: • New innovative Tri-Balance suspended sub chassis turntable • New suspension system to make setting up easy • Low Noise, Low Voltage electronically speed controlled DC Motor • Adjustable belt tension for best performance • Aluminium sub platter with single line contact • Fused silica platter for consistency and sound quality • New low resonance TP 92 arm with precision Japanese bearings • Arm adjustable for azimuth and overhang Tri-Balance. Because the three-point suspension system is housed in the turntable’s feet, the plinth is considerably slimmer than that of conventional sub-chassis decks. It is manufactured from a single piece of MDF, a material that offers excellent acoustic properties and can be machined to very tight tolerances. This enabled us to adopt a no-compromise approach to designing and positioning crucial components such as the tonearm and the motor. The result is a perfectly balanced turntable. The TP 92 tonearm, which was specially designed for Thorens turntables, uses an ultra-low-friction bearing and an innovative magnetic anti-bias system with zero stiction. The arm tube is made from rolled aluminium that is damped using RMR (Reduced Modal Resonance) technology. The brass counterweight at the end of the arm tube is double-decoupled, and the tonearm is so designed that its centre of gravity is level with the stylus. The heart of the turntable. Driven by a decoupled low-noise low-voltage DC motor via a flat belt, the precision-machined sub-platter supports the main platter, which is made from fused silica. A special contact ring reduces resonance in the main platter. Specifications:
