    Item description:
    limit switch:
    no
    inner plate:
    plastic
    plate spindle:
    8mm
    basic dimensions:
    Width: 45cm, depth: 36cm, height 20cm
    New housing:
    The housing consists of 25mm MDF side panels and a 16mm thick base made of the same material.
    It is very complex with several layers of high-gloss paint
    sealed and polished with appropriate intermediate cuts
    .
    The connection panel for all required cable connections is located on the back.
    The bottom of the case is equipped with three openings for the horizontal alignment of the turntable.
    New faceplate:
    New cover plate made of 1mm aluminum anodised gold
    New cartridge Ortofon OM 5E:
    With the OM series, Ortofon has long since created the reference MM pickup, the long production time and the characteristic stylus body are well known all over the world. The OM 5E is the entry into the series and is a super entry-level system for medium-priced turntables.
    The OM series from Ortofon is compatible with each other. So you can start with an OM 5E and then improve the quality with the appropriate needle slot by using the next needle slot.
    New audio cable:
    Brand cable from "Oelbach".
    Ready-made analog audio cinch cable for wiring turntables! Thanks to the particularly high-quality inner conductor made of oxygen-free copper (OFC), this quality cable ensures true-to-nature signal transmission. Contact security and protection against corrosion is guaranteed by the 24 carat gold-plated plug contacts. The cable has a neutral sound with good dynamics and spatiality.
    The turntable:
    The turntable is made in five laborious and time-consuming steps
    polished to a high gloss.
    The mirror finish gives your turntable a unique look.
    With surface sealing by a special protective coating against repeated tarnishing and for a long-lasting shine.
    New chromed stainless steel spikes
    :
    So that the turntable is decoupled from low-frequency vibrations,
    the chassis is equipped with height-adjustable spikes.
    Resonance and feedback are thus effectively prevented.
    New drive belt:
    This drive belt is manufactured to original Thorens specifications (same material and dimensions).
    New record weight made of stainless steel:
    With a weight of 310g, it ensures that the record lies flat on the platter and runs smoothly. This record weight plays in the middle "weight class. It adds just enough weight to dampen plate vibration without stressing the bushings. The suspension of the Thorens sub-chassis has been readjusted accordingly. By using it, you increase the sound performance of your system.
    Big PSU:
    A new power supply unit is included in the scope of delivery. This power supply has twice the power of the original power supply.
    Performance bottlenecks and heating no longer occur.
