38 THE TD 1500 SUBCHASSIS
Installation
Although the Thorens TD 1500 is insulated from vibrations by its sub-chassis, you should still follow a few rules
to achieve trouble-free operation with the best sound quality over years of use. In contrast to heavy mass-pro-
duced turntables, which must be placed on as solid a base as possible, turntables with sub-chassis such
as the Thorens TD 1500 require a lighter but very stable base. This could be a small table or a light chest of
drawers. These are exactly the conditions for the sub-chassis, which is tuned to a certain frequency, to work
perfectly. Weight is less important than stability and torsional rigidity.
In addition, a set-up in the balance is important. A spirit level can serve as a check.
