Product Overview & Specifications
Thorens TP160 OEM 9" Din 5 Pin Knife Edge Bearing Tonearm The Thorens TP160 OEM 9" Tonearm is a nine-inch radial tonearm designed in the medium weight class for demanding analogue systems. Its carefully considered mass distribution and exceptional structural rigidity make it an ideal partner for high-quality moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. The tonearm is supplied with a newly designed original headshell, but it also accepts any SME bayonet-compatible headshell, as well as integrated cartridges such as the Ortofon SPU. To ensure precise alignment regardless of cartridge design, the TP160 allows axial adjustment of the arm tube. This guarantees accurate overhang and geometry at all times, providing a stable mechanical foundation for precise tracking and musically coherent vinyl playback.
