About the TD318

The Thorens TD318 is a German-made, semi-automatic belt-drive turntable produced between 1985 and 1991. It is positioned as the mid-level model in Thorens' 300 series, offering features such as auto-lift and electronic shut-off at the end of a record, which help protect the stylus and reduce wear. The TD318 features a suspended chassis and a resonant-free platter, contributing to its reputation for clean, uncolored sound. The turntable is equipped with a Thorens TP21 tonearm, which is an updated version of the TP11, and includes both anti-skate weights and a removable headshell. The plinth is constructed from MDF for reduced resonance, and the unit is powered by a low-voltage 16-pole synchronous motor, minimizing mains hum. The TD318 is designed for ease of use and reliability, making it a popular choice among vinyl enthusiasts.
