Thorens SPU 124 Moving Coil Cartridge

1990,00 €

The SPU 124 modernizes the classic SPU design with several optimizations designed for optimum compatibility to the new Thorens TD 124 DD. The SPU 124 features a revised generator system which allows for a maximum output of 0.5 mV, relaxing the requirement for high gain transformer or active preamplification systems. While still making use of a highly polished Nude Elliptical stylus, the stylus tip mass has been reduced significantly, resulting in reduced VTF and higher tracking ability.

Description

Overview

The SPU 124 features a revised generator system that allows a maximum output of 0.5 mV and reduces the requirements of high-gain transformers or active phono preamplifiers. While still using a highly polished bare elliptical stylus, the mass of the pen tip has been significantly reduced, resulting in reduced VTF and greater tracking ability.

The THORENS SPU 124 is a special version of the legendary Ortofon SPU sound box that is designed for optimal scanning behavior in combination with the THORENS TD 124 DD drive and the newly developed 124 tonearm. The generator, i.e. the “motor” of the pickup, has been completely revised and the output voltage has been increased to 0.5mV (5cm/sec). This measure reduces the subsequent amplification of the signal and reduces interference. A highly polished, reduced-mass, elliptical-cut “naked diamond” enhances the pickup’s tracking ability.

About Thorens

Thorens Reference and Prestige In 1980, Thorens decided, regardless of cost, to develop and market an ultimative turntable. The result was called Thorens Reference, weighed 90 kg, was designed for up to three tonearms and had a tunable sub-chassis! Externally, the Reference looked like any kind of mass drive, in which simply a heavy platter is placed on an even heavier framework and smoothness is generated solely by mass. But the Reference was different, the design was much smarter. Simply, that it had a sub-chassis and the platter weighed only 6 kg, makes it unique. The model was made on request in an official edition of 100 pieces, customers could choose individual color combinations and order individual tonearms. In 1983, for the 100th anniversary of the company, another large model entered the market: the Thorens Prestige. Qualitatively equivalent to the Reference, with sub-chassis and electrical lifts for two tonearms. A super drive also by today's standards and unique because of its sub-chassis.
