Thorens TD 905 Turntable (Black)

Description

THORENS TD 905

THE SUPERLATIVE SUB-CHASSIS TURNTABLE

TRADITION TRANSFORMED FOR THE MODERN AGE

The sub-chassis is made of
triCom, an aluminium/POM composite characterized by excellent damping
properties and high stiffness. Its weight has been optimized for high
performance. To reduce vibrations, the synchronous AC motor is mounted directly
onto the damped sub-chassis. It drives the sub-platter via a machined precision
belt.

The sub-chassis is suspended by
means of three conical springs which can be adjusted from above in order to
achieve uniform tension. The bearing is made of sintered bronze with a Teflon
thrust pad and optimized for smooth running. The steel axle supported therein
provides very low, constant friction and thus presents a uniform load to the
motor. Two of the turntable’s three feet can be levelled from above, which
facilitates setup.

Depending on the model,
different damping architectures, tonearm boards and platters are used. The
design can accommodate a wide variety of 9″ and 10″ tonearms also
from third-party manufacturers.
