The classic recipe is all here: wooden plinth, two-part machined aluminum platter with internally routed belt, precision-ground belt with adjustable tension, and an acrylic dust cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree conical springs support the sub-chassis from below rather than hanging from the top board, and a strongly tensioned steel wire anchors the sub-chassis against lateral movement — eliminating the stagger that plagued vintage suspended decks and allowing only pure vertical motion. The result is the forgiving, footfall-immune isolation a floating sub-chassis is famous for, with far more precise geometry than the classics ever managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9\" TP 160 tonearm — designed by Helmut Thiele — rides a magnetically stabilized knife-edge bearing for maximum tracking accuracy and takes standard SME bayonet headshells for quick cartridge swaps. The electronically controlled synchronous motor draws clean power from the included TPN 1600 external linear power supply, and true balanced XLR outputs alongside the RCA pair make it a natural partner for low-output MC cartridges. Mount your favorite pickup, cue by hand, and enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStabilized sub-chassis on three bottom-mounted conical springs with steel tension wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTP 160 9\" precision tonearm with knife-edge bearing and SME headshell connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-part machined aluminum platter with internally routed belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-ground belt with adjustable tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically controlled synchronous motor with TPN 1600 external linear power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual lift — pure, fully manual operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrylic dust cover included; cartridge not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonearm: Thorens TP 160, 9\" J-shaped, knife-edge bearing, SME headshell\u003cbr\u003eSpeeds: 33-1\/3 and 45 rpm, electronic selection\u003cbr\u003eOutputs: Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA\u003cbr\u003ePower Supply: TPN 1600 external linear power supply\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (WHD): 17.9\" x 7.1\" x 14.5\" (454 x 180 x 369 mm)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 24.3 lbs.
