The Thorens TD 1600 is a high-end fully manual turntable that revives Thorens’ classic suspended sub-chassis design with modern refinements. It uses a belt drive, a three-point floating/stabilized sub-chassis, a two-part aluminum platter, and an electronically controlled synchronous motor. The TD 1600 is typically supplied with the Thorens TP 92 tonearm and is aimed at audiophile systems where precise speed stability, low vibration, and cartridge flexibility matter.
