Thorens - TD 800 Turntable with TP250VT arm

TD 800 Turntable with TP250VT arm


Thorens


The chassis is made of 19-mm thick high-density wood. Standing on three polymer-damped adjustable feet that are also height adjustable, the chassis is decoupled and isolated from the mounting surface. The Thorens silent run bearing is made of two sinter bushes with a polished stainless steel axle running inside. The tungsten ball at the end is running on a self-lubricating and absolutely maintenance-free bearing point. The low-noise AC motor is supplied from an electronic motor drive unit. The output signal is generated completely independent from the mains power. With this you get much better wow/flutter and virtually no distortion from the mains power source.

Comes with Thorens TP 250 tonearm.


"One step down the Thorens line from the 850 is the 800, which uses the same feet, bearing and motor drive. The plinth is the top section of the 850, less the steel plate and lower section. The 800's platter is a lighter (6 lbs.), thinner version of the 850's, and the arm is the Thorens TP250. That brings the weight down to a dietetic 17.6 lbs from the 850's 46 lbs...the Thorens 800 includes electronic speed control - its platter is able to run at precisely 33 1/3. That counts for something!" - Michael Fremer, Stereophile, February 2004
