THORENS TD 204 turntable with Audio Technica AT-95E

The THORENS TD 204 was developed for the audiophile beginner. A record player with sound expansion potential for the newcomer.
The surface finishes “black high gloss” and “walnut high gloss” fit seamlessly into the existing range with the typical THORENS design. The brand identity is underlined by the high quality of workmanship and guarantees a long service life for all Thorens turntables.

The newly developed tonearm TP 120 impresses with its high-quality bearing technology. By using modern bearings, the bearing play and the coefficients of friction could be reduced to an astonishingly low level for the price range. The TP 120 is a real 9" aluminum tonearm in J-shape with an effective tonearm mass of just over 15 grams. The visual similarity to the larger models TP 150 and TP 124 is unmistakable and can be expected to have first-class properties.

The removable headshell with SME connector is equipped with an AT95E from the Japanese pickup specialist Audio Technica. The skating compensation is carried out via a spring.

The connection terminal on the back shows high-quality RCA RCA sockets for a solid connection to the amplifier. An integrated (switchable on/off) phono pre enables direct connection to a high-level input.

The turntable, precisely made from die-cast aluminum, is rotated by a precision-ground drive belt. The frame of the TD 204 rests on four vibration-damping feet.
