With the newTD 404 DD, Thorens is once again setting new standards in high-quality turntable construction. The new model combines iconic elements of the audiophile classicTD 124 DDwith state-of-the-art technology and elegant design - a real statement for discerning music lovers.

At the heart of the TD 404 DD is the powerful direct drive motor from the legendary TD 124 DD, which is renowned for its smooth running and high torque. The tried-and-testedTP 160 tonearm with cutter bearingensures maximum precision when scanning and, together with the highly damped platter, guarantees excellent sound reproduction.

Another highlight is the revisedelectronic tonearm lift (e-Lift)withauto-stop function, which not only offers ease of use but also reduces wear on the stylus and record.

The newplatter designimpresses with its modern design language and its sophisticated resonance damping - complemented by anintegrated stroboscope with pitch control, which allows precise fine tuning of the speed.

Three height-adjustable, spring-loaded feetensure a stable installation and effective decoupling, while the solid frame in sandwich construction - including a 5 mm thick aluminium top plate - gives the turntable an exceptionally low resonance and visual presence.

At the rear, the TD 404 DD is easy to connect: in addition to high-qualitygold-plated RCA outputs, balanced XLR connectionsare also available - ideal for connecting to sophisticated hi-fichains. The scope of delivery also includes a removable cover.

TheTPN 124 linear power supplyunit is available as an option, which unlocks the full sonic potential of the TD 404 DD thanks to its particularly clean power supply.
