Our "Solid Design" plinth was developed to satisfy demands for a massive plinth which could deliver real sonic improvements (NOT the case with many of the replacement plinths we've encountered, which are sonically detrimental to the TD 124's performance). Designed with full respect for the mechanical and aesthetic properties of the original Thorens plinth, it is visually indistinguishable from it once the chassis is mounted. The plinth is made from two-and-a-half layers of laminated, carefully aged and selected Swiss wood and finished with 8 coats of hand-finished, high-gloss varnish.
The plinth comes with plastic feet and is supplied with the rubber mushrooms which decouple the chassis from the plinth. You can also mount spikes instead of the plastic feet. They must have a 6M thread.
The "Solid Design" Plinth delivers the following clear improvements:
- Acoustic feedback is all but eliminated. The design achieves a degree of isolation which, in extreme cases, even allows positioning of the turntable next to the speaker! Wall mounting is no longer necessary.
- A more balanced overall sonic presentation.
- Tighter, more precise bass
- Increased dynamic contrast.
Please note that the "Solid Design" plinth is not suitable for the Thorens tonearm models BTD 12S and TP 14!
As with our standard replacement plinths, chassis installation is simple -just make sure that the metal support rods are straight and accurately centered in their holes. For ease of installation we therefore recommend the shorter rods which are supplied free with the "Solid Design".
