Thorens TD 125 MK II Vintage Turntable W/ SHURE SME Model 3009 Tonearm

The Thorens TD 125 Mk II, introduced in 1972, is a highly regarded vintage turntable known for its precision engineering and superior sound quality. Manufactured in Germany by EMT, it features a belt-driven system powered by a 16-pole synchronous AC motor, with electronic speed control via a Wien bridge oscillator, allowing for 16, 33⅓, and 45 RPM playback with ±2% pitch adjustment .

Its substantial 3.2 kg (7 lbs) anti-magnetic die-cast platter and three-point suspended sub-chassis effectively isolate the tonearm and platter from external vibrations, minimizing rumble to an impressive -68 dB . The TD 125 Mk II is compatible with various tonearms, offering flexibility for audiophiles . With its robust construction, precise speed control, and exceptional audio performance, the TD 125 Mk II remains a sought-after choice for vinyl enthusiasts and collectors.
