{"product_id":"thorens-td16-open-box","title":"Thorens TD1601 Sub-Chassis Turntable - Open Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Thorens TD 1601 is a precision sub-chassis turntable built for listeners who want quiet, accurate vinyl playback and user-friendly operation. Its suspended sub-chassis on three conical springs and heavy two-part aluminum platter give steady speed and low noise, while the electronically controlled synchronous motor and rear speed trimmers let you dial in very accurate 33⅓ \/ 45 rpm. The TD 1601 adds a convenient electric lift and contactless auto shut-off, and provides both unbalanced (RCA) and true balanced (XLR) outputs for flexible connection to modern phono stages. This is a workmanlike, well-engineered deck that puts the cartridge’s performance first. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSuspended sub-chassis on three conical springs for mechanical isolation and stable playback.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTwo-part machined aluminum platter (heavy mass) to lower rumble and improve speed consistency.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eElectronically controlled synchronous motor with adjustable trimpots for precise speed control (33⅓ and 45 rpm).\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in electric lift and contactless automatic shut-off for safer, semi-automatic operation.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThorens precision tonearm (factory-fitted variant) with magnetic anti-skate system and easy cartridge alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBoth unbalanced (RCA) and true balanced (XLR) outputs; external linear power supply for cleaner motor power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the TD 1601 if you want a thoughtfully engineered suspended turntable that keeps the focus on musical detail and cartridge performance while adding practical conveniences—electric lift, stable motor control, and modern outputs—for long, trouble-free listening.
