Thorens TD 1600 BLACK ON BLACK - manual turntable with sub-chassis and pre-mounted Ortofon 2M cartridge; externally very close to the earlier 160 series with classic wooden frame, two-piece platter with internal belt and thick rubber mat, arm board and acrylic cover, but inside it is full of innovations. The three springs of the sub-chassis do not hang from the top board, but stand on the floor. At the same time, a tensioned steel thread in the extension of the motor pulley - disc axle axis prevents lateral wobbling and thus ensures a piston-shaped oscillation of the sub-chassis even when starting up, when the motor power is at its strongest and the belt pulls sideways on the disc axle, while the complex motor control ensures a constant speed with exact synchronisation; drive: internal flat belt. Sub-platter made of aluminium.
