Thorens TD 402 DD walnut

The TD 402 DD Walnut is a high-quality, mid-priced turntable from the renowned manufacturer Thorens. It's been built to be ready to go out-of-the-box, so it comes complete with a Thorens tonearm, headshell, cartridge, and built-in phono preamp, providing everything vinyl enthusiasts will need to get started right away. The retro-style chassis with its black wooden frame is very visually striking, and rests on four adjustable, damped feet, allowing audiophiles to keep their TD 402 perfectly level at all times. A removable plexiglass cover reliably protects the turntable and its delicate components from dust and dirt, without obscuring the view of the elegant mechanics.

One thing the Thorens TD 402 Walnut is not is a DJ turntable; it's much more at home in the living rooms or studios of music lovers and hi-fi enthusiasts. That said, the direct drive will tolerate the occasional bit of rough handling without complaint. Ultimately, Thorens makes two promises to customers who choose a TD 402: First, they'll get a very good turntable for the price, one that is ready to use straight away – no additional components or adjustments required. Second, they can always upgrade it to enhance their listening experience even further. All in all, then, it's a fantastic device for getting to know the world of high-quality turntables.
