That, and the copper-topped platter. And the high-gloss wood veneer. And the mid-century modern look. And the absence of a felt mat, which I cannot stand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So yes: in late 2023, I bought a \u20ac12,000 turntable largely on aesthetic grounds and without first hearing it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A brief history<\/strong><br \/>Thorens was founded in Switzerland in 1883 as a manufacturer of musical boxes. By 1928, it had developed one of the first electric gramophone motors and a magnetic pickup. Its TD 124, launched in 1957, made broadcast-quality precision the new audiophile benchmark. When Gunter K\u00fcrten took stewardship of the brand and introduced a re-engineered TD 124 DD in 2020, the design brief was clear: keep the classic look but fix the technical limitations of the 1950s design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The TD 124 DD sells for \u20ac7999 in the EU and US$11,995 in the USA. The original idler-drive has given way to a silent direct-drive motor, and a new electronic brake has replaced the vintage mechanical clutch. The updated TP 124 tonearm has gained an electric lift for safer cueing, while external power supplies and balanced XLR outputs were added to further suppress electrical noise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The 140th Anniversary edition<\/strong><br \/>2023\u2019s 140th Anniversary edition went further still, adding a five-millimetre layer of solid copper to the top of the aluminium platter for additional mass and resonance suppression, high-purity silver cables inside the TP 124 tonearm, and a special Ortofon SPU 124 cartridge with pure silver coils in a vintage-style Bakelite housing. The standard finish was replaced with a high-gloss real wood veneer on both plinth and armboard. Priced at \u20ac11,999 in Europe (roughly US$13,000 to US$14,000), it was limited to 140 units and has long since sold out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The TD 124 DD is a beautiful object (as it should be at this price), and the 140th Anniversary edition is the one I bought.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Out of the box<\/strong><br \/>I asked Frank Schr\u00f6der to set it up. Frank is a tonearm designer, a Berlin neighbour and a turntable expert (which I am not). Out of the box, the tonearm clip had been set too far forward at the Taiwanese factory, which meant the arm could not clear the clip\u2019s inner edge to reach the run-in groove. We moved the clip outwards, but it isn\u2019t as secure in its new position. There was nothing to be done about the visual imperfections on the copper plate. I\u2019ll only add that at this price, quality control misses can really take the shine off a new acquisition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no dust cover. One must be sourced separately from a third-party supplier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How it sounds<\/strong><br \/>And yet when I sit down to listen, the cosmetic and functional frustrations dissolve. This is by far the best-sounding turntable I have heard to date.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I ran the TD 124 DD through PS Audio\u2019s Stellar Phono (which thickens the air through which music plays) as well as the very capable phono stage built into the Marantz Model 10 integrated (which thins it again).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is not a clean, precise-sounding turntable-and-cartridge combination. Its sound is weighty in the low end: SND &amp; RTN\u2019s dub techno pressings \u2013 where low-end information is as much about texture as it is pitch \u2013 land with a dynamic thrust that I have not heard from a turntable before. There is a natural body to the midrange that cheaper turntables tend to thin out and cool: Leonard Cohen\u2019s The Future lets you hear the space around his voice as clearly as the voice itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The upper treble rolls off slightly, which keeps Alessandro Cortini\u2019s remixes of Depeche Mode\u2019s \u201cBefore We Drown\u201d from slicing too hard into the room. The Orb\u2019s ambient techno sprawl on Moonbuilding 2703 AD sounds wide and unhurried.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am not raving on the back of a short honeymoon: this Thorens has been my main turntable for two and a half years, and my previous high-end choice, the more affordable Raga Planar 8 w\/ Ortofon 2M Black, has left its shelf exactly once in that time. You (don\u2019t) get what you (don\u2019t) pay for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Living with it<\/strong><br \/>The Thorens\u2019 electronic brake is genuinely handy when flipping a record. Push the switch, the platter stops, you flip, pull the switch, and the platter spins again. But I never use the motorised tonearm mechanism. Thorens added it as a convenience feature, and I understand why, but the motor is too noisy: it can disturb the opening few seconds of quieter music like Talk Talk\u2019s Spirit of Eden. I drop the needle with a steady hand, just as the 1957 original demanded by default.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So: a turntable that sounds extraordinary but asks for some functional forgiveness in return. I started to wonder whether Thorens had a better answer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Enter the TD 404 DD<\/strong><br \/>Thorens introduced the TD 404 DD at the start of 2026. Given everything above, I bought one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The TD 404 DD shares the same ultra-quiet direct-drive motor as the TD 124 DD. The TP 160 J-shaped tonearm rides on a knife-edge bearing. The plinth wears a matte wood veneer rather than gloss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But here is what sets the TD 404 DD apart from its more expensive sibling: it comes with a dust cover, a completely silent electronic tonearm lift operated by a button, and automatic stop-and-lift at the end of a side. When the stylus reaches the run-out groove, the motor stops and the arm rises. The TD 124 DD does none of this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The platter is aluminium, described by Thorens as \u201cheavily damped,\u201d with a rubberised surface pattern that looks excellent. What effect that pattern has on the noise reaching the stylus is a question for engineers rather than listeners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no Ortofon SPU available for this model, and I wanted something more contemporary anyway, so I paired the TD 404 DD with Thorens\u2019 own TAS1600 cartridge and lived with the combination as my main turntable for two months before going back to the TD 124 DD. (Both the TAS1600 and the Ortofon SPU are moving-coil cartridges).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How they compare<\/strong><br \/>The TD 404 DD and TAS1600 together produce a sound that is cleaner and more precise than the TD 124 DD and SPU. Where the TD 124 DD gives SND &amp; RTN\u2019s low-end texture physical heft, the TD 404 DD renders it with more definition and less mass. The Orb\u2019s Moonbuilding 2703 AD loses a little of its sub-bass pressure but gains organisation. Alessandro Cortini\u2019s \u201cBefore We Drown\u201d remixes sound tidier, if slightly less atmospheric. Sugar\u2019s Copper Blue has more crunch and immediacy, but Television\u2019s 1992 album of the same name suffers a hint of midrange weight loss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Swings, meet roundabouts<\/strong><br \/>I should address the obvious objection. No, I did not swap cartridges between the two tables. Different cartridges make this an apples-to-oranges comparison, so take it for what it is. It will upset the vinyl grumpies (of which there are many), and I accept that. My broader point: a turntable\u2019s appeal is as much about how it looks and feels to operate as it is about how it sounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What became clear during February and March of this year is that the TD 404 DD is a much easier turntable to live with in the day-to-day. The automatic lift means no anxiety about walking out of the room mid-side, the silent tonearm mechanism means you can actually use it, and the dust cover is simply there. Don\u2019t tell the vinyl die-hards this, but there are no prizes for doing things the hard way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Reality check<\/strong><br \/>The TD 404 DD goes for \u20ac4500 in the EU or US$6750 in the USA. Add \u20ac1200 for the TAS1600 cartridge and \u20ac500 for the linear TPN124 power supply (as I did). Even fully loaded, the TD 404 DD comes in at just over half of the TD 124 DD 140th\u2019s original asking price. And to these eyes, it looks almost as good, especially the platter\u2019s pattern and the light oak skirting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I want the best sound, I return to the TD 124 DD. But then I must accept its noisy motorised arm as a redundant feature, and I must dust the platter, plinth and tonearm regularly. And carefully. These are the terms. I have made my peace with them. The question is whether you can.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I were doing this all over again, the TD 404 DD is the only one I would actually buy. I\u2019d then put the money saved on the TD 124 DD into one (maybe two) high-end cartridges. In time, I may find a cartridge that lifts the TD 404 DD\u2019s sound closer to the TD 124 DD + Ortofon SPU. The table\u2019s technical architecture certainly supports the ambition.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The direct-drive motor sealed it.
