What the press says

This TD 158 delights our ears and we are more than happy to re-listen to our old records which will probably sound like they've never sounded before, if you previously owned a turntable of lesser quality. There are no special features except for the automatic tonearm return, no converter or 78 rpm playback, but we still love this turntable. It only plays our 33 and 45 rpm records, but it does so to perfection and that's the main thing.

Cette TD 158 ravie nos oreilles et on est plus que content de réécouter nos vieux disques qui sonneront probablement comme ils n’ont jamais sonné auparavant, si vous possédiez alors une platine de moindre qualité. Il n’y a aucune fonction particulière si ce n’est le retour automatique du bras, pas de convertisseur ou de lecture de 78 tours, mais on adore tout de même cette platine. Elle ne fait que lire nos disques en 33 et 45 tours, mais elle le fait à la perfection et c’est bien là le principal.

Catherine

Good quality, efficient turntable that is very pleasant to use and elegant. Only regret: the THORENS logo is pressed on the cover crookedly and outside the intended notch. It looks ugly.

Bonne platine efficace, très agréable d'utilisation et élégante. Seul regret : le logo THORENS pressé sur le capot de travers et en dehors de l'encoche prévue. C'est moche.

Patrice

I rediscovered my vinyl records and found a sound that was "almost" forgotten.

J'ai redécouvert mes vinyls, et retrouvé un son "presque" oublié.

Simple to use and reliable product, low-cost consumables. Good product.
