BJA Twin-Layer Plinth for Thorens
(Dimensions: 499 x 409 mm)


My CNC-milled birch plywood plinths essentially consist of two separate plinths with a cork isolation layer in between. All electrical connections are integrated into the lower plinth.

The following Thorens models are compatible:
TD145, TD146, TD147, TD160, TD165, and TD166.

The twin-layer plinth construction provides:

  • Improved bass response

  • Greater soundstage

  • A more refined and stable sound

  • Enhanced detail and clarity

At the bottom, a large recessed cover is securely screwed in place. This allows easy access to the underside of the turntable — perfect for adjustments and minor repairs.

Moreover, many hi-fi enthusiasts firmly believe that an open underside can enhance sound quality. Now, this can be easily tested, as the cover plate is simple to remove!


Simply bring your Thorens turntable to me, and you’ll get it back like this:

  • A heavy birch plywood plinth, beautifully finished with hard oil and wood butter (options include pine, chestnut, walnut, light oak, and more), polished to a satin sheen, or finished with white or black textured lacquer.

  • The interior is coated with black textured lacquer, keeping it virtually dust-free.

  • Complete conversion and installation of your turntable with all connections (Schuko chassis terminal, RCA connectors, and grounding wire).

  • If you prefer to keep your existing connections, that’s no problem! In that case, two openings will be made at the rear bottom for your cables instead of installing terminals.

  • The side supports for the chassis are CNC-milled as part of  the design -  not glued in.

  • A soft rubber layer is applied to the side and intermediate supports for vibration damping.

  • The chassis is screwed firmly from underneath.

  • Thorough cleaning of the turntable and tonearm.

  • Cleaning and lubrication of the platter bearing with specially selected oils.


Optional Extras:

  • Dynavox aluminum damping feet or BJA birch plywood damping feet

  • Installation of your own damping feet

  • Installation of a new faceplate
