Thorens TP160 Headshell

The Thorens TP160 Headshell is designed to provide a stable, precise mounting platform for phono cartridges in high-quality analogue systems. It is suitable for use with Thorens tonearms TP150, TP124, and TP160, as well as all tonearms that use the SME standard connector. Manufactured from CNC-milled aluminium, the headshell offers excellent rigidity while keeping unwanted resonance to a minimum.

This solid construction helps ensure that the cartridge remains securely positioned, allowing the stylus to track the record groove with accuracy and consistency. By maintaining precise alignment and mechanical stability, the TP160 Headshell supports clearer detail retrieval, improved channel balance, and more confident musical presentation across a wide range of vinyl recordings.

Adjustability, Compatibility, and Practical Design

A key feature of the Thorens TP160 Headshell is its adjustable azimuth, which can be finely set using a discreet headless screw. This adjustment allows users to precisely align the cartridge for optimal channel separation and balanced sound. With a weight of 13 grams, the headshell provides a well-judged balance that suits a wide variety of cartridges without compromising tonearm compatibility.

Finished in black anodised aluminium, it offers both durability and a refined appearance that complements modern and classic turntable designs alike. Designed for ease of use and long-term reliability, the TP160 Headshell is a practical upgrade or replacement option for vinyl enthusiasts who value precision, flexibility, and consistent analogue performance.
