| Content | 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.

Pro-Ject has decided to go after the cheap plastic turntable market with an high quality alternative that comes complete with an Ortofon cartridge. The new Elemental table is a real "plug'n'play" all the way. No adjustment of counterweight and antiskating is needed, because both are pre-adjusted. This new straight ultra low mass tonearm is optimised for Ortofon OM cartridge series. All the buyer needs to do is remove it from the box, remove bearing guard, locate the belt around the platter, remove stylus guard and plug it in.
The only plastic here is the stylus guard. The hidden secret to the new table's sonic success, is a central gravity mass point, made from artificial stone and placed directly underneath the platter bearing. It is capable to fully absorb unwanted rumble and motor vibration. This turntable appears to be pure simplicity itself, while maintaining high quality audio standards.
