Thorens - TD240-2 - Automatic Turntable - Black

Thorens - TD240-2 - Automatic Turntable - Black Review



Thorens - TD240-2 - Automatic Turntable - Black Feature

  • Thorens precision belt drive
  • Operation: Fully automatic
  • Playback speeds: 33 rpm, 45 rpm, 78 rpm
  • Turntable platter 12.0", 1.5 lbs. nonmagnetic aluminum
  • Audio Technica AT95E moving magnet cartridge
It's no accident that the Thorens TD 240-2 turntable embraces the aesthetics of the glory days of analog audio. The handsome retro appearance with genuine beechwood veneer or black piano lacquer cleverly reflects the ideal combination of classic mechanical design and technological innovation. Easy to set up and pleasurable to hear, it's a turntable you'll look forward to operating for years to come. Thorens is one of the most recognized names in turntable design and manufacture. The German-based company is renowned around the world for its reliability, sonic qualities, and overall performance. "Unusual in this day and age, the TD 240 is a fully automatic turntable, at the top of a range of Thorens auto decks," reports Steve Harris in his review of the original model TD240 for the March 2008 issue of England's Hi-fi News magazine. The substantial 18.7 lb. chassis of the TD 240-2 with 1.5 lb. nonmagnetic aluminum 12-inch platter provide a stable platform for musical reproduction. The high acoustical damping properties of the chassis suppress mechanical vibration and resonance, keeping them out of the signal chain for exceptional audio purity. The TD 240-2 features an advanced drive system with internal flat-drive belt and electronically controlled DC motor. The suspended chassis contributes to the extraordinary smoothness of the drive system along with the audiophile quality sound. The fully automatic operation adds to the convenience of an electronic speed selector with playback speeds of 33 rpm, 45 rpm, and 78 rpm. Mechanical switch off and cuing give you the extra needed measure of control.

Rega - RP1 Turntable - White

Rega - RP1 Turntable - White Review



Rega - RP1 Turntable - White Feature

  • Brand new Rega RB101 tonearm
  • Precision main bearing and sub-platter assembly
  • High quailty low vibration motor
  • All new Phenolic resin flywheel effect platter for excellent speed stability
  • Ortofon OM5e moving magnet cartridge
Rega's new RP1 turntable was designed and engineered to achieve outstanding performance way beyond the expectations of a product at this price point. Excellent build quality, reliability and ease of use combine to make a product, which will offer a lifetime of musical enjoyment. Omitting all the usual gimmicks allowed Rega to concentrate the manufacturing costs on the high quality parts necessary to reproduce records accurately. "Rega's new RP-1 turntable might just be the perfect source for Stereophile's new monthly column, 'The Entry Level'," reports Stephen Mejias in his Stereophile blog for July 30, 2010. "All the cool kids are going to want one of these." The RP1 uses a highly accurate manual speed change rather than an automatic mechanism. This approach eliminates speed inconsistencies and also reduces wear of the drive belt. It has a huge added benefit, too. The money which Rega saved is spent across the design, including a new hand assembled RB101 tonearm, precision main bearing, phenolic resin flywheel effect platter, and a high quality low vibration motor which would normally be used on a turntable costing two or three times the amount. The RP1 also comes ready-fitted with a great sounding Ortofon OM5e moving magnet cartridge. The minimalist design of the Rega RP1 and the use of extremely high quality components ensure that this turntable will last for many years - just like every product that Rega manufactures. The RP1 is the first in a new generation of Rega turntables offering far greater performance than their predecessors. The performance of this amazing new product will knock you out. The only thing entry level about the RP1 is the unexpectedly low price!
