User manual TA10 (on mounting plate #3.3)
Please read carefully before mounting yourTA10.
Thank you for choosing our TA 10 tonearm, newly developed on Thorens TP14 design, but close to the BTD-12 S
outfit.
This unit, like every Swissonor product, is the fruit of several years of development and optimisation. Please note
that the precision instrument ball bearings need hours of burn-in before giving best results.
Instruction for assembling with Thorens TD 124
The pre-assembled TA10 is a plug-and-play version easy to install.
Fine-tuning possibilities only for skilled craftsmen are identified in italic.
1. Tonearm- mounting plate assembly.
1.
Switch off and lift off the power cord and the phone cables from your TD 124. Disassemble
carefully the existing tonearm board.
2. Check clearing around the TA 10's tonearm base. The delicate wires shall not be restricted,
nor subject to friction. The RCA socket holder can be positioned (360° rotation .
This may be necessary for some types of solid console. Please tighten the 36mm
nut firmly, taking care about the tonearm wires.
3. Put the arm-plate/arm-assembly softly on the TD 124 frame and align mounting holes with
screw threads on TD 124 frame.
4. Use one washer under each screw-head.
For all tonearms you can adjust parallelism of tonearm board and the TD124 frame, placing
washers between the silent blocks and the TD124 frame.
5.
Screw the three M5 screws only extremely slightly (use only your fingertips to
turn the screwdriver), don't compress the damping blocks.
6.
Fine adjust parallelism between tonearm board and TD 124 chassis by tightening a little more
where the board is "too high" and unscrew softly where the board is too low. Firm
tightening will adverse the performance of the damping blocks, or even destroy
them.

  • Page 1 Thank you for choosing our TA 10 tonearm, newly developed on Thorens TP14 design, but close to the BTD-12 S outfit.

Please note that the precision instrument ball bearings need hours of burn-in before giving best results.
  • Page 2 50 mm. Hence, the Ortofon SPU type GM cartridges are built to 52 +/- 0.5 mm and cannot be adjusted in their headshell. Therefore, factory adjustment of TA10 is made for 52 mm distance instead of standard 50 mm, to match these cartridges.
  • Page 3 4. Tracking force adjustment Check and adjust tracking force using a special cartridge tracking force balance. Adjust to medium to maximum value of indicated range (see the cartridge manufacturer's notice). To low tracking force can damage disc surface. Unlock the four set-screws in the counterweight, move the counterweight until you get the correct tracking force.
  • Page 4 Listening with records in good condition should result in no audible distortion, from outer to inner groove. If eveything is ok, you can listen now to your preferred record and enjoy lowest distortion combined to three-dimensional sounstage and uncompressed wideband sound.
