When I first saw the Thales TTT-Slim Turntable and Easy Tonearm, my first thought was, “my word, a new version of the Garrard Zero 100.” The truth is only the tonearm reminds me of the Zero 100. If you’re not familiar with the Zero 100, it was built in the early 70s. It was advertised to have an ingenious tonearm with virtually no tracking error and a magnetic tonearm anti-skating system. While the design of the tonearm was amazing, the execution wasn’t. The table had way too much plastic and the tonearm just didn’t work all that well.
