Thorens TD-309 Turntable

Thorens TD-309 turntable

Thorens is arguably one of the most well-known brands on the hifi market today, having developed countless award-winning turntable models to a superior standard for years. The TD-309 model builds upon this extensive reputation for quality and follows the same design philosophy of offering an authoritative turntable at an accessible price.

Utilising a unique and innovative 'Tri-Balance' suspended sub-chassis, the body of this turntable has been designed to eradicate potential resonance and subsequent distortion, in turn allowing for superior performance. In addition, a low-noise, low-voltage electronically speed controlled DC motor helps retain a quiet profile even further. The sub-platter of the turntable is built from aluminium and uses a single-line contact philosophy, while the tension of the belt is adjustable, meaning that the optimal performance can be achieved.
