About the TD-316 MkII
The Thorens TD-316 mkII, produced between 1988 and 1991, is a high-quality manual belt-drive turntable known for its superior suspended chassis design that isolates the motor and controls from the platter and tonearm, reducing vibrations. It features a 2.7 kg, 300 mm zinc alloy dynamically balanced platter housed in a solid wood plinth, and a TP-28 resonant free tonearm with removable headshell. The turntable supports 33 and 45 rpm speeds with electronic speed selection via a 2-phase generator. The motor is a low voltage 16-pole synchronous motor. The TD-316 mkII is praised for its solid construction and classical music suitability, though some note a slightly insecure bass response. Dimensions are 440 x 350 x 170 mm, and it weighs 11 kg.
