Thorens TD 204 A NOIR

The Thorens TD 204 A black is a Direct Drive turntable - Black finish.

A design by THORENS
The design of the TD 204 is typical of THORENS turntables, and combines both aesthetics and practicality. Available in "glossy black" and "glossy walnut" surface finishes, every detail has been taken into account to offer a quality product: die-cast aluminium platter, anti-vibration feet and many other specific features.

Belt drive system for better insulation
The Thorens TD 202 uses a belt drive system with a DC motor to rotate the platter at 33 1/3 and 45 rpm. The speed selection is made by means of a switch located on the front of the turntable on the left side.

The superior audio quality of a built-in line phono preamp
The Thorens TD 204 has a switchable MM phono preamp built into its chassis. It can be directly connected to a stereo amp, hi-fi system or even a pair of wireless speakers that do not have a phono input. The phono preamp can be switched off to allow connection to the phono input of a stereo amp or to an external phono preamp if required.

AT 95 E Cartridge and TP 120 tone arm - A powerful entry-level unit
The Thorens TD-204 comes with an Audio-Technica AT 95E phono cell pre-assembled and factory tuned. Although this is an entry-level moving magnet (MM) cartridge, it benefits from a careful build quality and offers a respectable performance. It can be replaced with a higher-end cartridge to improve playback performance. In combination with this, THORENS offers an impressive 9" TP 120 tone arm; offering both high quality bearing technology and significantly reduced friction coefficients, the TP 120 tone arm reminds us of all the quality properties of the larger models.

Highlights
- Smooth belt drive
- J-shaped TP 120 tone arm
- Audio-Technica AT 95 E cell mounted on SME cell holder
- Switchable MM phono preamplifier
