Thorens TD1500 Manual Turntable Details :
In 1965, the Thorens TD 150, an inconspicuous little turntable, came on the market and thus started a technical revolution in record player manufacturing.
For the first time, a spring-suspended sub-chassis with an inner platter driven by a flat belt was used in a mass-produced unit.
The principle proved to be very successful and found many imitators in the years since.
Like its famous predecessor, the new Thorens TD 1500, which will be operated purely manually, features a sub-chassis that decouples the turntable and tonearm shelf from the motor and frame by means of three conical springs.
In contrast to the TD 150, these springs can be adjusted from above through corresponding holes in the platter, which makes correct adjustment much easier.
The speed of the DC motor is electronically monitored by an incremental encoder and deviations, e.g. caused by a broom, are automatically corrected.
This also enables very good wow and flutter values.
As a real unique selling point in its class, the TD 1500 has XLR outputs in addition to the usual pair of RCA jacks, thus enabling true balanced operation with a suitable MC cartridge.
The new TP 150 tonearm is similar to the TP 124 used on the new TD 124 DD.
It has an effective mass of 14 grams, is adjustable in height and azimuth and is equipped with a standard SME connector, so headshells can easily be switched or other cartridges mounted.
The anti-skating is set by a sliding weight in the base of the arm, which is adjusted on a nylon thread guided over a ruby bearing.
A high-quality and pre-adjusted 2M Bronze pickup from the Danish pickup specialist Ortofon, is also supplied as standard.
This proves to be a perfect playing partner due to its naked diamond with Fine Line cut.

Talk about hifipro
It was in 2016 that the idea of an e-commerce site for the sale of new products was born: HIFIPRO. Mario Gagnon, owner of the second-hand Audio store since 1985, nurtured his passion for music since childhood. This enthusiasm allowed him to excel in his studies and projects. Dedication, time and love for sound and its reproduction led him to open his own store. It will quickly become a reference in the sale of high fidelity devices in Canada. He and his colleagues spend a lot of time following progress and new developments in order to stay up to date with the latest technologies. After more than 30 years of success, Used Audio has acquired a very loyal customer base, participated in and obtained several recognitions from consumers and professionals during several exhibitions. For several years now, they have been shipping items across Canada, so Mario decided to create HIFIPRO. It is with great confidence that he and his team are ready to offer you the best products and services. Our goal is to help you make the best possible choice according to your needs and criteria.
