Angeboten wird „Thales TTT Compact mit Simplicity II Tonarm und Isolation Plattform“ von Thales als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5611932959 endet am 25.06.2026 um 15:49 Uhr.
The Thales TTT Compact is a rare Swiss compact turntable celebrated for its near-zero tracking error and battery-driven silence, making any listing under €15k notable. This €12,000 asking price is a strong deal, sitting well below the median of €14,824 and even under the 25th percentile of €7,496 when viewed against the 16 recent comparable listings; it represents genuine bargain territory for a system that includes the Simplicity II arm and isolation platform.
You’re getting a turntable that delivers exceptional stability and low rumble (–60dB) with a claimed tracking error of just 0.008°, a level of precision that rivals full-size rigs. The inclusion of the Simplicity II tonearm and isolation platform adds significant value, as these are often sold separately at high cost. With no mentioned condition issues and original-owner appeal, this is a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking Swiss precision at a fraction of new pricing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Thales Tonearm
Thales is a Swiss manufacturer founded by Micha Huber, a mechanical engineer and lifelong audio enthusiast who studied both music and machine engineering before working in precision watch design. The company, operating under HiFiction AG, emerged around 2008 when Huber's innovative tonearm design gained recognition among discerning vinyl enthusiasts. His background in watchmaking precision and medical-device engineering directly informed the brand's obsessive attention to mechanical tolerances and material science.
The brand specializes exclusively in tonearms and turntables, with tonearm design as its core competency. Huber's breakthrough innovation was solving a longstanding analog challenge: combining the low-friction advantages of a pivoted tonearm with the tracking accuracy of linear tangential arms. His patented solution uses pivot points arranged on what Thales calls the "Thales Circle," achieving tracking error as low as 0.0006 percent—approaching true linear tracking without the mechanical complexity. The product line includes models such as the Simplicity, Simplicity II, Easy, and Statement tonearms, each representing refinements of this core philosophy.
Thales occupies the high-end boutique segment, commanding premium pricing justified by hand-crafted construction, exotic materials including diamond-coated bearings and high-damping aluminum alloys, and uncompromising engineering. The brand appeals to analog purists and collectors willing to invest substantially for measurable improvements in tracking geometry and mechanical rigidity. Though relatively obscure outside dedicated vinyl circles, Thales has cultivated a devoted international following among audiophiles who prioritize geometric correctness and Swiss precision manufacturing over mass-market accessibility.
