Turntable

The TD 126 Mk III by Thorens is "the" transcription turntable for discriminating music lovers and professional users. It is the product of 95 years experience in the construction of musical instruments allied to the mastering of the most advanced technilogy in the fields of fine mechanics and electronics. The main objectives of Thorens engineers remain unchanged robustness, reliability and life-time maintenance of the original performance specification.

In their constant battle against rumble, Thorens designed a servo controlled electronic belt-drive to associate with unique floating suspension system.
Every turntable must be damped by a suspension system to prevent the sensitive pick-up from environmental vibration and from acoustic feedback. If the springs are placed between motor and turntable platter, they then fulfill the additional requirement of decoupling motor vibrations almost completely from the turntable and the pick-up system.
The turntable platter and the tonearm are both mounted on a secondary chassis carrying the motor. Thanks to their exclusive design Thorens Transcription turntables claim rumble figures equalled by no other drive system.
