Thuono Audio’s TH Series turns the high-end turntable into a piece of Italian mechanical architecture, built in three sizes around marble, aluminum, magnetic suspension, and the old pleasure of putting on a record.
Thuono’s turntables bring Italian machinery to the listening room: black marble, polished aluminum, brass feet, exposed mechanics, and a belt drive that gives the ritual of vinyl a little mechanical theatre. The Italian company, based in Thiene, designs and handcrafts high-end turntables around a simple belief: vinyl playback is only as good as the machine’s ability to disappear from the signal. The result is the TH Series — TH300, TH350, and TH400 — three variations of the same idea, scaled by platter size and built with the kind of material seriousness usually reserved for furniture, watches, and small monuments.
The key material is Nero Marquina marble, used not as decoration but as mass. In a turntable, mass matters because the cartridge is absurdly sensitive; it reads tiny movements in the groove, but it can also pick up vibration from speakers, floors, air, and the motor itself. Thuono’s answer is a heavy marble and aluminum structure, three magnetic suspensions that isolate the upper chassis, and a belt-drive system with a flywheel to help keep rotation stable. The engineering is old-fashioned in the best sense: reduce friction, kill resonance, steady the platter, and let the record do the talking.
The naming is pleasantly literal. TH300, TH350, and TH400 refer to the platter diameter: 300 mm, 350 mm, and 400 mm. The TH300 is the compact model, though compact is relative here; it weighs 33 kg, uses an all-marble chassis, and keeps the magnetic suspension, flywheel drive, and screw-on clamp. The TH350 steps up to a 45 kg aluminum-and-marble double chassis and a separated drive system with a larger flywheel. The TH400 is the flagship, with a 400 mm platter, 60 kg of mass, and the most imposing structure in the range. Current listed prices run from €22,000 for the TH300 to €34,000 for the TH350 and €48,000 for the TH400, each with tonearm and VAT included.
No one needs a marble turntable. That is partly the point. This is not about convenience, and it is not for someone looking to rediscover vinyl with a stack of thrift-store records and a Bluetooth speaker. Thuono is for the listener who already has the room, the records, the amplification, and the patience — and wants the source component to behave like a calibrated instrument. The investment is in silence before sound: less rumble, less vibration, less mechanical chatter between the groove and the ear. It also explains why Thuono has shown its turntables in architectural settings, from Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice to the Kenzo Takada House in Paris and Deoron’s Milan space during Design Week 2026. In a world where music often arrives weightless, Thuono gives playback a body again: stone, metal, rotation, pressure, then sound.
