Thorens TD-190-2 Turntable

Thorens TD-190-2 Turntable

Simplicity, 33, 45 & 78 RPM operation, Thoren's technology and value are the hallmarks of the venerable Thorens TD190-1 turntable. As a fully automatic turntable, all you need to do to play your record is to flip a switch. The automatic function sets the needle on the record and returns it to its resting cradle at the end of the record, shutting off the drive motor awaiting your next selection. Now that is simple, indeed. No fiddling, no fuzzing. You just sit back and relax to music.

This turntable is a Thoren's work of engineering. A Thorens precision belt drive system with a 1.75 lb. non-magnetic, resonant dampened platter and low noise, high torque electronically controlled DC motor system provide stable rotational speed for 33, 45 and 78 RPM. A proprietary low noise bearing system provides exceptional sonic performance and long life. The TP19 tonearm featuring a spring-suspended anti-skate system and removable headshell offers ease of use and high performance.

Available in silky Black finish, and comes complete with an Ortofon OMB10 phono cartridge installed and ready to play. A 78 RPM stylus is optional.
