THE TOP OF THORENS FULL AUTOMATIC TURNTABLES

The Thorens TD 148A sets the standard for high level full automatic turntables in the market in technology and design. A high quality plinth, a precise glass platter and the new tonearm which is derived from our High End TP 92 prove this.

Additionally there is still the classical belt drive, the very quiet running DC motor and a suspended “floating” chassis. 78 rpm are available for playing old shellac records. Instead of a fixed cable a pair of RCA Jacks allow usage of any cable you like for connecting the TD 148A to the amp. Thorens TAS 267 cartridge is preinstalled.

SPECIAL FEATURES

  • Fully automatic turntable
  • Three speed design: 33,3/ 45/ 78 rpm
  • Polished precision belt
  • „floating” Chassis
  • Glass platter with exact guide
  • Optimized tonearm
  • Cartridge TAS 267 preinstalled

A quiet-running synchronous motor with silicone belt is driving a low-resonance platter made from MDF. A new motor control with DC power supply minimzes unwanted vibration effectively. The main platter bearing consists of stainless steelspindle and bronze bushing with Teflon bottom to seccure low friction.  

The main chassis is made from lightweight, but very stiff particle board. Essential II utilises a straight 8,6" aluminium tonearm design made from a single piece of aluminium with sapphire bearings, which offers a far better „plug & play" solution, than itʽs predecessor. Special feet effectively decouples the turntable from the surface.

Specifications:

  • speed : 33, 45 (manual speed change)

  • principle : belt drive

  • Speed variance : 33: 0,14% 45: 0,25%

  • Wow & flutter : 0,12%

  • platter : 300mm MDF with felt mat (0,8kg)

  • main bearing : stainless steel

  • tonearm : 8,6” aluminium

  • effective : arm length 218,5 mm

  • overhang : 22,0mm

  • effective tonearmmass : 8,0gr

  • counterweight for mass : 3 - 5,5g (included)

  • tracking force range : 0 - 25mn (OM5 18mn recommended)

  • included accessory : power supply, dust cover

  • Power consumption : 4,5 watts

  • dimensions : 420 x 112 x 330mm (WxHxD)

  • weight : 4,0 kg net

The first Debut turntable, introduced in the late 1990s, was a revolution for the hi-fi industry. For the first time after the arrival of Compact Disc and the assumed demise of vinyl records, an analogue product re-emerged in the "mass market” – something all music lovers could afford.  

The new DEBUT Carbon DC has been designed to set new standards in this category for the coming decade – perfectly timed as analogue today is again a respected source, while the demand for good turntables is growing again!  

The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of a CARBON TUBE for the tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance.  

This material normally is extensively used in high-end tonearms, but – because of cost reasons – was never used in products at lower price levels. Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to realize even smoother rotation, the overall sound quality is greatly improved. The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling (utilising TPE-damping) and ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability without unwanted vibration.  

The DEBUT CARBON DC will be offered in high-gloss black or shiny red, green, blue, yellow, silver or white as no-added-cost option.
