Thorens TD 404 DD — Analog Mastery, Reimagined
For serious vinyl lovers, the Thorens TD 404 DD represents everything a high-end turntable should be: impeccable engineering, effortless performance, and a design that commands attention in any listening room. Built on the storied legacy of the iconic TD 124 DD — one of the most revered turntables in audio history — the TD 404 DD brings that heritage into the modern era without compromising a single detail.
Power Where It Matters At the core of the TD 404 DD is the same high-torque direct-drive motor that made the TD 124 DD legendary. It delivers rock-steady platter rotation with virtually no wow or flutter, so your records play back exactly as the artist intended — nothing added, nothing lost.
Precision Tracking, Front to Back The pre-installed TP 160 tonearm with a precision knife-edge bearing ensures your cartridge follows every groove with surgical accuracy. Paired with the highly damped platter, the result is a soundstage that's open, detailed, and utterly faithful to the source.
Smart Features That Protect Your Investment The electronic tonearm lift (e-Lift) with auto-stop gently raises the needle at the end of each side — no more worrying about stylus wear or groove damage while you're across the room. The built-in stroboscope and pitch control let you dial in speed with precision, keeping playback exactly on pitch.
Built Like a Tank, Tuned Like an Instrument The TD 404 DD's sandwich-construction chassis, topped with a 5mm aluminum plate, is engineered to kill resonance before it ever reaches your stylus. Three height-adjustable, spring-loaded feet isolate the table from the real world — whether you're dealing with a bouncy wood floor or foot traffic nearby.
Ready for Any System Out back, you'll find gold-plated RCA outputs for traditional stereo setups, plus balanced XLR connections for audiophile-grade separates and professional rigs. Either way, you're getting a clean, full-fidelity signal from source to amp.
Take It Further For those who demand the absolute best, the optional TPN 124 linear power supply eliminates electrical noise at the source, unlocking a new level of dynamics, resolution, and musical nuance.
A removable dust cover is included. Available in High-Gloss Black, High-Gloss Walnut, and Matte Dark Oak.
The TD 404 DD isn't just a turntable — it's the centerpiece your system has been waiting for.
