The all-new Thorens MM 002 phono preamplifier replaces and upgrades the renowned MM 001. Developed from the ground up, the MM 002 is a clear step forward, offering excellent Moving Magnet sound quality, and exceptionally low noise levels, at a very affordable price point.

KEY FEATURES:
• High quality MM phono pre-amplifier
• Binding post for tonearm earth shielding wire
• Small footprint

OUR THOUGHTS:
• An excellent, small footprint phono-stage

Apart from that you can still expect exceptional performance from this dynamic little preamp.

It will not disappoint.

In 1965, the Thorens TD 150, an inconspicuous little turntable, came on the market and thus started a technical revolution in record player manufacturing. For the first time, a spring-suspended sub-chassis with an inner platter driven by a flat belt was used in a mass-produced unit. The principle proved to be very successful and found many imitators in the years since.

Like its famous predecessor, the new Thorens TD 1500, which will be operated purely manually, features a sub-chassis that decouples the turntable and tonearm shelf from the motor and frame by means of three conical springs. In contrast to the TD 150, these springs can be adjusted from above through corresponding holes in the platter, which makes correct adjustment much easier.

The speed of the DC motor is electronically monitored by an incremental encoder and deviations, e.g. caused by a broom, are automatically corrected. This also enables very good wow and flutter values.
As a real unique selling point in its class, the TD 1500 has XLR outputs in addition to the usual pair of RCA jacks, thus enabling true balanced operation with a suitable MC cartridge.
