The Thorens TD 166 MKII is a classic belt-driven turntable renowned for its precision engineering, warm analog sound, and timeless design. Built in the 1980s, it remains a highly sought-after piece among audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts. Featuring a suspended sub-chassis design, it effectively isolates vibrations, delivering clean and accurate playback. The TP11 Mkiii tonearm, coupled with an adjustable counterweight and anti-skating control, ensures tracking stability and minimal distortion across a wide range of cartridges.

This turntable features a manual two-speed operation (33 1/3 and 45 RPM), and its robust build quality, simple mechanics, and serviceability make it an enduring performer. The TD 166 MKII is often compared favorably with far more expensive models due to its smooth operation and detailed soundstage.

For collectors and newcomers alike, the TD 166 MKII offers a balance of vintage charm and high-end audio performance. It’s ideal for those looking to experience vinyl as it was meant to be heard—warm, rich, and full of character.
