THORENS ENHANCEMENT KIT
This is a very effective Sound Quality Enhancement kit for the excellent
Thorens TD150/160 range of Turntables, which we guarantee
will significantly improve the sound quality of these popular record decks!
The kit is designed to reduce motor noise, bearing rumble and platter
'ring' to provide quieter, more detailed reproduction, and comprises:
1. Platter damping ring (Peripheral wave trap). Designed specifically for this deck - 19mm deep to fit Thorens platter perfectly. This absorbs vibrations / resonances in the platter and enhances rotational stability.
2. Motor Vibration Absorber (MVA). Fits tightly round the casing of the motor to reduce vibration which would otherwise be transmitted to the plinth or (via the belt) to the subplatter. Shown in picture.
3. Bearing Damping Rings (BDR). Supplied as a pair, these fit around the main bearing housing, effectively absorbing any vibration / resonances generated within the bearing, which would otherwise be transmitted into the subchassis via the housing or (even worse) into the subplatter via the spindle.
4. Adjustable Motor Thrust Bearing (MTB). Fits on to the base of the motor to allow the motor spindle to ride on a proper single point bearing, as opposed to the sleeve bearing contained in the motor housing dramatically reducing motor noise.
All three damping devices 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.
The kit comes with comprehensive instructions, and we guarantee you will be amazed at the sound quality improvement.Price: $129.95 ( includes GST and shipping within Australia )
