The Thorens TD204 was developed for new audiophiles who want to start or regain their love for vinyl.
The black or walnut lacquered finishes fit perfectly into the existing range with the typical Thorens design. The brand identity stands for high processing quality and guarantees a long life like all Thorens turntables.
The newly developed TP120 arm impresses with its high quality bearing technology. Bearing clearance and friction coefficients could be reduced to an astonishingly low level for the price class by using modern bearings. The TP120 is a real aluminium 9" J-shaped arm with an effective arm mass of 15 grams. The visual similarity to the larger TP150 and TP124 models is obvious and promises first class properties.
The detachable head with SME connector is equipped with an AT95E from the Japanese capsule specialist Audio Technica. Slip compensation is provided by a spring.
The connection terminal on the back shows high-quality RCA jacks for a solid connection to the amplifier. An integrated MM phono preamp (which can be switched on/off) allows direct connection to a high-level line input.
The platter, precision-crafted from die-cast aluminium, is set in rotation by a precision drive belt. The TD204 plinth rests on four vibration-damping feet.
