Thorens TD150 MK-II
The Thorens TD150 is one of the most important and revolutionary turntables in audiophile history. Introduced in 1965, the Swiss/German model was the first mass-produced turntable to use a three-point, spring-suspended subchassis and belt drive. This technology completely isolated the tonearm and platter from the vibrations of the motor, serving as a direct precursor and basis for legends such as the Linn Sondek LP12 or the later Thorens TD160.Key technical dataDrive: Belt drive (with flat precision belt).Motor: 16-pole AC synchronous motor.Speed: 33 and 45 RPM (mechanically switchable).Plate: 3.4 kg heavy two-piece aluminum casting.Operation: Fully manual (no automatic switch-off).Main versionsThorens TD150 Mk I (1965–1969): The original version, typically equipped with the TP13 tonearm, which did not yet have antiskating (lateral drag force compensation).Thorens TD150 Mk II (1969–1973): Improved version modernized TP13a (so-called "Kugel" (ball counterweight) tonearm, built-in antiskating and armLift. TD150 AB: Factory standard version with arm, while the plain TD150 was often purchased without a tonearm (or with arms from other manufacturers, such as SME). Advantages and modifiability (Modding) The TD150 is still one of the most popular "DIY" (do it yourself) turntables among analog hi-fi enthusiasts: Musical character: It is characterized by an extremely warm, detailed sound and excellent bass range. Interchangeable arms: Due to the removable wooden arms (armboard), it is extremely easy to install more modern tonearms (e.g. Rega, Linn, SME). Build quality: Made with Swiss/German precision, its bearings and motor are indestructible if properly maintained.

Welcome to the Webshop
The NOStubeshop webshop, an old "love" of the electron tube technology and its relation to rebirth, I created because of the needs that.
I thought that a lot of like-minded people rarely have the opportunity to visit these shops, on the one hand the lack of time and because there are very few of these shops. The Internet is now available everywhere in the postal courier companies to deliver it to all the goods.
Present specialties in itself.
Many old vacuum tube (NOS or operational use), is still not readily available, even from these few pieces trying to make up for the horrific prices instead áron.Segítek solid construction and repair advice is dealing with pipes for 40 years. In any case, I check the pipes IL-14 military vacuum tube tester and if needed also paired quad-sorting.
after prior appointment it is possible to choose goods on site as well.
I wish you a good time and all of our internet users purchase online store.
Thank interests.
