{"product_id":"thorens-tp-160-tonearm","title":"Thorens TP 160 Tonearm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe TP 160 is a nine-inch radial tonearm in the medium weight class, designed by Helmut Thiele. Its vertical movement rides in a newly developed knife-edge bearing in which a hardened steel edge meets a two-part bearing shell, held precisely centred by contactless magnetic lateral guidance; horizontal movement uses high-quality Japanese ball bearings. VTA adjusts via a lockable fine thread, skating force via a calibrated spring mechanism, and the solid aluminium headshell mounts on a standard SME bayonet, accepting alternatives up to integrated cartridges such as the Ortofon SPU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9-inch radial arm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eVertical bearing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnife-edge with magnetic lateral guidance, self-centring and maintenance-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eHorizontal bearing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapanese ball bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eHeadshell\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid aluminium, standard SME bayonet, rotatable for azimuth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eVTA adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLockable fine thread on tonearm base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eAnti-skating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosed, calibrated, continuously adjustable spring mechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding-right:1.5em\"\u003eCounterweight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-part, for heavy and light cartridges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCall or visit the showroom about availability.\u003c\/strong\u003e Contact our team for pricing, a demonstration, or system design — \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eget in touch\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50417955635393,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/8340\/9857\/files\/tp160-9-01-web.eadcbfab3110db5f7a8737a19f686fa7.jpg?v=1785024807","url":"https:\/\/soundsanctuaryaustin.com\/products\/thorens-tp-160-tonearm","provider":"Sound Sanctuary Austin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
