Frequently Asked Questions
The Thorens’s three-point suspension provides excellent isolation from floor vibrations, but direct-drive designs can sometimes offer even greater stability under extreme conditions.
The tonearm is a competent starting point, but many audiophiles will eventually seek a higher-end arm for further refinement of their listening experience.
It requires a bit more care than some fully automatic models, but the included instructions and a good spirit level make the setup process manageable.
