with Integrated Arm (Model BTD-12S)
“The Recitat” Combination as illustrated,
THORENS engineers selected every feature of this
integral combination to realize, in a single compact
nit, the tremendous potentialities of modern stereo
cartridges of highest later
nd vertical compliance.
‘The THORENS TD-185 is a precision transerip-
tion turntable designed to function, for peak
performance, solely with the THORENS BTD-128
professional tone arm. While the BTD-128 tone arm
Js offered as a separate unit (see next page), the
‘TD-135 is never sold separately. Exceeding NAB
standards for rumble, wow and flutter, the 4-speed
‘TD-195 features the same belt-plus-idler drive, the
savy, 12" non-magnetie turntable, and motor,
the same variable speed control, and the same qualit
precision and Swiss craftsmanship that have ma
other THORENS turntables famous for peerless per-
formance.
‘The BTD-128 tone arm—despite its compact di-
mensions—achieves the amazingly low tracking error
of only 0.5° per inch with optimum stylus overhang
superior to many 16” transcription arms! (And
there's an easy overhang adjustment!) See next page
for a complete description of this superlative arm,
and note particularly features like the exclusive
THORENS cueing device, calibrated stylus force
adjustment, complete independence of leveling, low
inertia in ail planes, spectal vertical pivot design, and
many others. No other integrated unit approaches
the professional standards of the TD-135—BTD-128
combination.
