The Ortofon OM5E pickup:
With the OM series, Ortofon has long since created the reference MM cartridge, the long production time and the characteristic needle body are well known all over the world. The OM 5E is the entry into the series and is a great entry-level system for turntables in the medium price range.
Ortofon's OM range is mutually compatible. So you can start with an OM 5E and then improve the quality with the appropriate needle insert by using the next earpiece needle insert.
The audio cable:
Branded cables.
Pre-assembled analog audio cinch cable for cabling turntables! Thanks to the particularly high-quality inner conductor made of oxygen-free copper (OFC), this quality cable ensures a true-to-life signal transmission. Contact security and corrosion protection is guaranteed by the 24-carat gold-plated plug contacts. The cable has a neutral sound with good dynamics and three-dimensionality.
The turntable:
The turntable is made in five complex and time-consuming steps
polished to a high gloss.
The high-gloss polish gives your turntable a unique look.
With surface sealing through a special protective coating, against repeated tarnishing and for a long-lasting shine.
Chromed stainless steel spikes
:
So that the turntable is decoupled from low-frequency vibrations,
the chassis is equipped with height-adjustable spikes. This effectively prevents resonances and feedback.
The drive belt:
The drive belt is new. It is manufactured according to the original Thorens specifications (same material and same dimensions).
New stainless steel record weight:
With a weight of 310g it ensures that the record lies smoothly on the plate and runs smoothly. This record weight plays in the middle "weight class. It builds up just enough weight to dampen the vibrations of the plate without stressing the bearing bushes. The suspension of the Thorens sub-chassis has been adjusted accordingly. By using it, you increase the sound performance of your system.
