Thorens TD 280 MK II – Klassiker in gepflegtem Zustand – inkl. Oehlbach Phono-PreAmp
Verkaufe meinen gepflegten Thorens TD 280 MK II Plattenspieler.
Der Plattenspieler wurde nur selten genutzt, ist technisch einwandfrei und sofort einsatzbereit. Der Antriebsriemen wurde vor Kurzem erneuert, sodass einem ungetrübten Musikgenuss nichts im Wege steht.
Die Haube ist ohne Risse oder Beschädigungen. Altersbedingt ist die Oberfläche etwas matt geworden, was bei diesem Modell völlig normal ist und den Gesamteindruck kaum beeinträchtigt.
Im Lieferumfang enthalten:
* Thorens TD 280 MK II Plattenspieler
* Neuer Antriebsriemen
* Oehlbach Phono PreAmp (kostenlos dazu) – ideal für moderne Verstärker oder AV-Receiver ohne Phono-Eingang
* Kleines Pflegeset mit Schallplattenbürste, Nadelbürste und Reinigungsflüssigkeit
Der Plattenspieler kann gerne vor Ort besichtigt und getestet werden.
Privatverkauf. Keine Garantie, Gewährleistung oder Rücknahme.
€220 is a touch above the €201 median and just over the €211 75th percentile, so it reads as a slightly ambitious but still believable ask rather than a bargain. It’s not wildly off; you’re paying a small premium for a clean, working example if the condition really is as advertised.
That premium can be fine here because the TD 280 MK II is a respected, easy-to-live-with belt-drive deck with a solid reputation for musical, unfussy playback. For a buyer, the real upside is getting into a well-regarded Thorens without stepping into serious money; just make sure the arm bearings, speed stability, belt, and auto functions are all behaving properly, since age-related wear matters more than cosmetics on these.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Thorens traces its origins to 1883 in Sainte-Croix, Switzerland, where Hermann Thorens founded the company in the Jura mountains to craft music boxes and mechanical musical devices. Pioneering audio technology soon followed, with early cylinder phonographs, horn gramophones, and record players that established Thorens as an innovator predating the modern vinyl record. By the 1920s, breakthroughs like electric gramophone motors and magnetic pickups propelled international success, employing over 1,200 workers and embodying Swiss precision engineering. Ownership shifts, including a 2018 acquisition by Gunter Kürten, former Elac head, have revitalized the brand while honoring its 140-year heritage.
Thorens remains synonymous with high-quality turntables, its core focus since iconic idler-drive models like the TD-124 and TD-160 defined the golden age of analog playback. Vintage enthusiasts prize these for their robust plinths, precise motors, and timeless performance, while modern lines such as the 900 series introduce air-suspended sub-chassis for superior isolation. Brief forays into receivers, cassette decks, and speakers in the 1970s yielded to an unwavering commitment to vinyl reproduction, encompassing both LP and 78rpm formats.
Positioned as a high-end analog specialist, Thorens commands respect among discerning audiophiles and vintage collectors for its blend of historical pedigree and contemporary refinement. No longer strictly Swiss-manufactured but retaining that ethos, it occupies a niche boutique space—elevating turntables beyond entry-level to precision instruments that rival top competitors. Under Kürten's stewardship, Thorens thrives in the vinyl resurgence, delivering musical authenticity that serious hi-fi buyers demand.
