What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Thuono Audio tonearms have been developed to guarantee great robustness and at the same time maximum freedom of movement. They differ in their effective length: the TH10 measures 9.5 inches while the TH12 measures 12 inches.
Thuono Audio tonearms have been developed to guarantee great robustness and at the same time maximum freedom of movement. They differ in their effective length: the TH10 measures 9.5 inches while the TH12 measures 12 inches. Both the horizontal and vertical joints of the TH10 and TH12 tonearms have high precision ball bearings. They have been selected based on their degree of smoothness and manually checked one by one. They are inserted inside mechanical components with extremely low degrees of dimensional tolerance, in order to ensure maximum insertion precision and avoid any type of slackness or compression. The great care taken with the bearings and their housing is one of the main factors that allows the tonearm to move freely and read even the most subtle nuances of sound. The bearing articulation system, combined with a very rigid and high precision mechanical structure, also guarantees the arm less deterioration over time and greater robustness.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

TH300  

  • Positioning: The entry-level design, focused on affordability and a compact footprint.  
  • Description: Uses a basic circuit design that delivers clear audio performance for smaller rooms and straightforward setups. Offers the essential features needed for everyday listening, especially when compared to the more intricate circuitry and extra connectivity found in the TH350 and TH400 models, with the TH10-TH12 series adding even broader functionality.  

TH350  

  • Positioning: The mid-range option aimed at a balance of performance and value.  
  • Description: Incorporates a more robust power supply and refined analog design, making it a solid choice for larger environments and a step up from entry-level needs. Improves on the simpler setup of the TH300 while remaining less complex and costly than the TH400 and TH10-TH12 series.

TH400  

  • Positioning: The high-end amplifier offering refined circuitry and enhanced audio performance.  
  • Description: Employs improved noise reduction and precise signal handling suited for advanced listening setups and larger spaces. Stands apart from the TH350 and TH300 with superior circuit refinement, yet does not reach the comprehensive digital control and connectivity of the flagship TH10-TH12 series.

TH10-TH12  

  • Positioning: The flagship integrated series focused on comprehensive connectivity and versatile performance.  
  • Description: Features state-of-the-art digital control and broader connectivity options, making it suitable for both home theaters and high-end listening systems. Exceeds the performance and functional scope of the TH400, TH350, and TH300 by offering extra integration features.
