About the TD 1601 TP 160
The Thorens TD 1601 TP 160 is a premium manual/semi-automatic turntable based on Thorens’ classic suspended sub-chassis design. It uses a belt-driven, electronically controlled AC synchronous motor, an external linear power supply, a two-part machined aluminum platter, and the new TP 160 9-inch J-shaped tonearm with SME headshell connector and knife-edge bearing. The TD 1601 adds an electric tonearm lift and contactless auto shut-off, and it provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs for flexible phono connection. It was introduced as part of the updated TD 1600/1601 series and is positioned as a modern high-end vinyl player with balanced output for MC cartridges.
