This is the incredibly effective Thorens Enhancement Kit including Stage
2 mods. It is guaranteed to tremendously improve the
sound quality of this high quality record deck. If you don't agree, we
will give you your money back, simple as that!
The kit comprises:
1. Platter Damping Ring (PDR). Designed specifically
for this deck - 19mm deep to fit Thorens platter perfectly. Fits tightly
around the rim of the platter and acts as a Peripheral Wave Trap,
effectively absorbing vibrations / resonances and enhancing rotational
stability. (Shown in picture).
2. Motor Vibration Absorber (MVA). This fits tightly
around the casing of the motor to reduce vibration which would otherwise
be transmitted to the plinth or (via the belt) to the sub-platter.
3. Ultimate Turntable Bearing Oil. If your turntable
has not had a service for a few years it needs an oil change! This
is the best bearing oil available - known to Audiophiles as 'Black
Oil' it contains Molybdenum Disulfide and Graphite. Makes the turntable
bearing quieter, more efficient and drastically reduces wear.
4. Main Bearing Spindle Support Pad. High Purity PTFE
thrust pad that sits in bottom of main bearing housing providing a
friction free, non-resonant support for the bearing spindle, eliminating
metal to metal contact and thus reducing bearing noise.
5. Adjustable Motor Thrust Bearing. This attaches to
the bottom of the motor, allowing the motor spindle to run on a hardened
4mm stainless steel ball instead of the sleeve bearing in the motor.
Result - less motor noise, lower noise floor, more information.
6. Main Bearing Damping Rings (BDR's). These fit tightly
around the main bearing housing, effectively damping resonances generated
within the bearing.
The damping components (PDR, MVA & BDR's) are manufactured from a
particular type and grade of synthetic polymer, specifically chosen for
its damping properties at the frequencies that cause problems within LP
replay systems.
All items come with instructions, and we guarantee you will be amazed
at the transformation. You will not believe just how good this
deck can sound!
