THORENS TD145/147/160/165/166 SOLID MOUNT FOR SME.

Many enthusiasts including ourselves agree that mounting your SME 3009 solidly (without the rubber grommets) onto the mounting plate makes a huge improvement to sound quality, therefore we have started to produce this version of our popular  Thorens TD 145,146,147,165,166 or TD160 mk 1 and mk 2 and TD160 super turntable mounting plate. This plate differs in that it has larger  securing bolts with washers to allow for the increased diameter of the mounting holes when the grommets are removed.

It is manufactured from high quality military spec aluminium and is ideal for anyone wishing to replace their original Thorens arm with an SME 3009 tonearm onto their Thorens TD 145,146,147,165,166 or TD160 mk 1 and mk 2 and TD160 super turntable and is supplied with high quality steel cap head screws and washers.

It is also a good upgrade over the flimsy Thorens plastic mounting plates offering better looks, securer mounting and significant improvement in sound quality.

See pictures below of plate fitted to a Thorens TD 160 mk 2 turntable.

Arm, turntable and plinth not included in this auction.
