Very professional installation and your gear has been carefully looked after. . Like the TD160 plinth and beautifully polished platter..Happy listening
Absolutely beautiful. I have a td 160 that I plan on upgrading in the near future. just have to find a replacement tonearm, as the original was missing when I acquired it.
Actually, the tonearm that is on it is somewhat rare (I think) it's a JL Audio I think. unfortunately not in very good condition though sadly. I think I'm going to go with something a little more like on my Rega Planar 3. Also I was mistaken, the Thorens is a TD 150 AB. Thanx friend. Love your setup. (DROOLING) :)
Difficult to do on the suspended Thorens, as the pressure needed to spin the table usually makes the platter hit the pulley or protection rod, as the suspension is very sensitive and of quite close tolerances. If you spin the record via a record clamp or weight, as this fine gentleman on the video has, manual spinning can me done without problems.
Thank you for showing this gem. I'm getting my own soon. I would like to have a clamp like yours. Could you tell me something about it? Thank you, and greetings from the Netherlands.
Hello! I randomly acquired one of these players and looking to fix it, not super concerned with restoring it just want to get it playing again. Right now it seems I need a new belt and a new stylus cartridge... I'm looking at a superOM 10 MM, do you know if that would be compatible? Thanks.
Mirco Miotto I also have this tt and I made some changes with the rca cables. I didn't change the ground. I'm wondering if you recommend running a separate ground?
Mirco, this is beautiful man. How fortunate we are to have you share these videos.
drD E many thanks friend, you are a gentleman...
thanks Mirco..you're response comes in as I listen to this clip yet again!!

hello friend, it's a great sin, but you'll can find the tonearm;)) thanks....
Just one comment. when you clean a record follow the grooves and go from the outer edge to the centre.
I'm not sure of this, the dust should get out the disc instead of stay on the record.
Nice 👍👏😍❤

the tonearm should be calibrated I counsel the original!
Sound amazing
I would suggest that when cleaning the LP spin the record manually to avoid stress on the belt

Awesome restoration. where did you get this copper turntable mat?
Iinferno12 hi, many thanks, the mat is a product of my old friend...
Thank you for showing this gem. I'm getting my own soon. I would like to have a clamp like yours. Could you tell me something about it? Thank you, and greetings from the Netherlands.
+Paul de Backer hello friend, could you write me in private? I'll give you every answer right? :))
I love this TT and cartridge. Thanks you. So subtle and fine. I wonder what your unusual speakers are and are they part of the magic?
Patrick B thanks friend, the loudspeackers are a rare pair of KEF 105 reference 👍🏻
Regards
Mirco.

Patrick B contact me at sissio69@gmail.com

How’s your turntable?
hello,
can I ask who is singing that? great music!
Hi, friend, she's Etta Cameron :))
Did you change any of the ground connections in your restoration?
Marcus Werry I changed everything, the RCA are direct from the arm and end with females
Mirco Miotto I also have this tt and I made some changes with the rca cables. I didn't change the ground. I'm wondering if you recommend running a separate ground?
Marcus Werry no, friend I haven't changed any ground
Mirco Miotto so your ground is through the rca still?
What stylus do you suggest for the td160?
Hi Miotto, do you sell just the plinth?
Brian Cheung hi, yes but can you contact me at: sissio69@gmail.com Please, thanks
What have been done with the power supply? There is a massive power cord, that is definite not original..
Hans Jørgen Lindeløff It is a shielded cable...
ok, thank you..but the motor is original?
Hans Jørgen Lindeløff yes friend
hello does it auto stop and lift the arm up?
Audio Fan no, this is a 160, not 145/7
SI OK THORENS TD 160 MA GUARDIAMO CON COSA VIENE PILOTATO NIENTE DA DIRE,VORREI VEDERE LO STESSO PILOTATO CON ELETTRONICHE NELLA NORMA
qui si discute sulla bellezza del progetto, non di come è pilotato.... :))
scusa ciao
No audio
All these people who post videos of their amazing turntable setups with the audio captured from their speakers by a lousy camcorder microphone...
Jon Vincent this is my job and your?
