About the New
The Thorens New Reference is a flagship, limited-production turntable created for Thorens’ 140th anniversary. It was designed from scratch around a fully active vibration isolation system developed with Seismion and is presented as a high-end analog reference model. The deck uses a German-made 3-phase synchronous motor driven by three linear power amplifiers with 120° shifted sine signals, and motor torque is transferred to the platter by a belt. It can be configured with up to three tonearm bases and accommodates 9", 10", and 12" tonearms, including Thorens’ TP160 cutting bearing tonearm and the Thiele TA01 tonearm. It was announced with a price of $355,000 CDN including the stand and two tonearms, and was to be available in limited numbers.
