У Вас Ani Scating работает правильно? Неьу ни каких цифровых обозначений. Не подскажите, как выставит с прижемной силой 1.5 г? Катридж Ortofon 2M Black. за ранее спасибо!

[@alexanderischner5038]

On the Thorens Website you can download an instruction manual for setting the tracking force and anti-skating for the TD-1600/1601. Also in English. I think it is also an Video available on KZbin.

Is this a new table or an older version? Also does it have the power supply outside or inside? Thanks.

[@alexanderischner5038]

It's the New Turntable with Power supply outside. Precision tonearm Thorens TP 92 9". But is now also being released with the new TP 160 tonearm.

[@nicholas6823]

Is that similar to the tp150 with an sme type headshell? Not a fan of the look of the tp92 on the td1600. So this sounds interesting. I can’t find any reference to it on the web yet.

[@alexanderischner5038]

No! The TP 92 hasn't a SME Headshell and isn't really similar to the TP 150 The TP 92 is a cardanic design that follows the Loefgren geometry. The horizontal bearing is a high-precision Japanese ball bearing that uses a specially developed oil. It is located underneath the tonearm tube at the same level as the stylus for enhanced stability. The counterweight, decoupled by two rubber rings, is also exactly level with the stylus.

@@alexanderischner5038 To be clear I was actually asking about the new TP160 you mentioned as a new tonearm for the TD1600 in your above reply. Can you describe what that will be like?

[@alexanderischner5038]

@@nicholas6823 The TP160 tonearm differs significantly from all other Thorens tonearms. Visually, of course, based on the new design. The TP160 tonearm is a completely new construction! The main difference lies in the cutter bearing, which is stabilized and guided by magnets. The tonearm is almost completely free of any bearing play. Should now come on the market and be sold in the summer of 2023.

hi, how are these Japanese Thorens heads going???

[@alexanderischner5038]

I wasn't knowing that Japan is in Taiwan!😉

[@marcoserafino835]

@@alexanderischner5038 yes yes Thorens has it done in Japan, anyway how does it sound?? I would be interested in the TAS1500 for my TD1500.

[@alexanderischner5038]

@@marcoserafino835 No! Thorens let produce the Thorens in Taiwan! The TD-1601 with the TAS 1600 is a great turntable and sounded superb! I think the TD-1500 with the TAS-1500 won't sound much worse.

@@alexanderischner5038 I was also torn between Hana EL and Ortofon's quintet series. the Hana seems that between arm mass and compliance it doesn't go well with the arm parameters 😔

[@alexanderischner5038]

@@marcoserafino835 Ortofon will work good! Benz Micro cartridges! Audio Technica also! I mean only MC!

[@jimdailey1985]

Are there tonearm any good?

[@alexanderischner5038]

Yes! Personally, I think this tonearm is very good. Helmut Thiele developed this tonearm. thorens.com/en/tp-92.html
