Thorens

Thorens is a long-established turntable name. Its record players appear here in a Japanese listening room, although the model is not specified.

Design & approach

Thorens links a long history of record reproduction with contemporary turntable development. Its current range includes direct-drive designs, tonearms, cartridges and phono electronics. The production film below offers a view of that manufacturing work; historical decks in venues remain separately identified by model and period where known.

Inside the system

At Studio Mule, the equipment record identifies Klipsch Cornwall; generation unspecified. The loudspeakers set the starting point for coverage and placement. A plausible reason to choose a dedicated hi-fi installation here is to give records a clear presence without relying on background-music speakers alone.
