The custom-made Palisander wood plinth takes this table to another level, and it's certain to become the centerpiece of your collection. The Swiss made TD 135 boasts the same motor and Idler wheel/belt system as the TD 124 and comes equipped with the venerable Shure V15 cartridge, as well as upgraded suspension bushings.

- Liner Notes
The Thorens TD-135 is a precision transcription turntable designed to function, for peak performance, solely with the Thorens BTD-12S professional tone arm.

No other integrated unit approaches the professional standards of the TD135 / BTD12S combination.
