Technical details and construction of the Thorens TD 204

The Thorens TD 204 is a belt-driven turntable that ensures particularly smooth running and a constant rotation speed. The platter is made of die-cast aluminum, which gives it stable and precise running characteristics. The precision-ground drive belt ensures that movement is transmitted smoothly and evenly, resulting in excellent sound quality. The plinth of the TD 204, on which the turntable rests, is equipped with a vibration-damping foot system that minimizes disturbing vibrations and further increases the stability of the turntable. This sophisticated design ensures that the TD 204 sounds clear and undistorted even at higher volumes.

A highlight of the TD 204 is the newly developed TP 120 tonearm. This 9-inch tonearm in the characteristic J-shape is made of aluminum and combines stability and precision. Thanks to modern bearing technology, the bearing play and the coefficient of friction have been significantly reduced, which enables a particularly clean and precise reproduction of the record grooves. The TP 120 has an effective tonearm mass of just over 15 grams, which makes it versatile and allows it to handle different pickups with high fidelity.

Flexible equipment for optimum sound reproduction

The Thorens TD 204 is equipped with a removable headshell with SME connection. This makes it easier to replace the pickup system and enables simple maintenance. The pre-installed Audio Technica AT95E cartridge comes from the renowned Japanese manufacturer Audio Technica and is known for its high sound quality and reliability. This system is an MM cartridge that is characterized by a clear, detailed sound and is ideal for a wide range of music. Skating compensation is provided by a spring, which ensures even and interference-free contact between the stylus and record groove.

High-quality RCA cinch sockets are located on the rear of the TD 204, providing a stable and interference-free connection to the amplifier. Another advantage of the TD 204 is the switchable phono preamplifier, which allows direct connection to the high-level inputs of an amplifier. This offers additional flexibility and makes it easy to integrate the turntable into existing audio setups, regardless of whether the amplifier has its own phono input or not.

Elegant design and robust construction

The TD 204 impresses not only with its technical features, but also with its elegant appearance. The high-quality walnut finish gives the record player a warm, timeless look that blends stylishly into any living environment. The housing has been designed with a particular focus on stability and durability and promises many years of lasting musical enjoyment. The materials used have been carefully selected to meet audiophile demands and ensure a consistent sound.
