BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THORENS
The Thorens brand started from Switzerland and they are widely known as a manufacturer of the high end audio equipment in the world. Their history started way before today’s many competitors – in 1883 where the Thorens family business first began. The Thorens brand is extremely well known for the range of phonographs (turntables) that they manufacture. So, you have good eyesight, if you are looking into owning a Thorens turntable.

SO, WHAT DO AUDIOPHILES LIKE MOST ABOUT THE THORENS TD160?
The Thorens TD160 turntable is commonly known as a tweaker’s heaven: in short it means for audiophiles who love to toy and fiddle with gadgets, they will love the TD160, a lot. For most folks, there is an unofficial ranking given to the Thorens TD160: the 2nd best turntable just trailing behind the Thorens TD 124.

WHY ITS RANKED AS THE 2ND BEST TURNTABLE IN THORENS SERIES?
First of all, when you decide to buy any turntable, you cannot really discount the appearance of it, as the sheer look of it can either put you off or make you fall in love with the turntable, something that makes you want to engage and use it very often. So in this aspect, the Thorens TD160 can be said to be very well designed where to many including myself, it looks super appealing. Especially if you are the type of minimalist person, you would find its appeal and attractiveness. It doesn’t bring in additional colors except those basic colors that you would imagine in a turntable. Minimalists, if you are around, please comment if this is true for you?

When it comes to spinning your vinyl, the 2 knobs on the Thorens TD 160 does a fantastic job controlling the cueing lever and the pulley that allows you to switch between your 33 rpm and 45 rpm records. Only drawback is that it cannot entertain your 78 rpm vinyl, but its not that you have many 78 rpm records yes?
