Thorens Black on Black TD 1600 + 2M Black

TD 1600 with TP 92 tonearm and Ortofon 2M Black cartridge

Black on Black: Authentic vinyl experience at reference level

This exclusive bundle combines the high-quality Thorens TD 1600 turntable with the precise TP 92 tonearm and the outstanding Ortofon 2M Black cartridge – an audiophile combination that takes vinyl playback to a new level.

Tradition meets innovation

The TD 1600 visually harks back to Thorens' legendary 160 series: classic wooden plinth, two-part platter with internal belt drive, solid rubber mat, and high-quality acrylic dust cover. Beneath this traditional surface, however, lies state-of-the-art technology for maximum precision and stability.

The subchassis is mounted on three conical springs which – unlike previous designs – rest directly on the base. A tensioned steel wire further stabilizes the axle between the motor roller and the platter, preventing lateral wobble and enabling a perfectly piston-like oscillation. This design ensures exceptional smoothness, even during powerful motor start-up.

The electronic motor control keeps the speed constant and guarantees precise synchronization – for a playback that is as sovereign as it is musical.
