Thorens TD 1600 TP 160 Turntable: Classic Suspended-Subchassis at Vinyl Sound

With the TD 1600, Thorens revives its legendary suspended-subchassis heritage in a thoroughly modern platform. Available in Gloss Black, Gloss Walnut, and Matte Oak finishes, the TD 1600 delivers the iconic 160-series aesthetic with refined engineering throughout — making it an ideal choice for audiophiles who want the soul of classic Thorens with the precision of contemporary design.

STABILIZED SUBCHASSIS & PRECISION DRIVE SYSTEM

At the heart of the TD 1600 is a stabilized sub chassis mounted on three conical springs, combined with a tensioned steel thread that restricts movement strictly to vertical travel. This elegant solution dramatically improves isolation and playback stability. An electronically controlled motor manages speed with consistency, while a polished precision belt and two-part machined aluminum platter with inner belt drive keep the design purposeful and clean.

The Pinnacle of the Thorens 1600 Series.

Now available at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA, the Thorens TD 1600 is built for audiophiles who demand a true suspended-subchassis turntable without sacrificing modern convenience or versatility.

Stabilized Subchassis for Superior Isolation

The TD 1600 uses a stabilized sub chassis on three conical springs, a hallmark of classic Thorens engineering. A tensioned steel thread restricts chassis movement to vertical travel only, providing exceptional vibration rejection and a stable foundation for faithful vinyl playback.

Newly Developed Thorens TP 160 Tonearm

The TP 160 precision pivot bearing tonearm is purpose-built for the TD 1600, sharing design DNA with Thorens' premium tonearm lineup. It features a standard detachable SME headshell connector, making cartridge swaps and headshell changes completely effortless. The arm's carefully engineered geometry and bearing precision ensure optimal tracking and minimal resonance across the entire record surface.

Electronically Controlled Motor & Two-Part Platter

Speed accuracy is managed by an electronically controlled motor paired with an adjustable belt tension system and a polished precision belt. The two-part machined aluminum platter with inner belt drive adds rotational mass and stability while maintaining the deck's clean, purposeful aesthetic.

True Balanced XLR & RCA Outputs

A standout feature of the TD 1600 is its true balanced XLR output alongside standard RCA outputs, allowing seamless integration into a wide range of phono stages and amplification systems. A manual lift and an external linear power supply (TPN 1600) complete the package for a refined, noise-free listening experience.
