Thorens TD 402 DD NOYER
The Thorens TD 402 DD walnut is a Semi-Automatic Turntable - Walnut finish.
The very first direct drive turntable from the Swiss brand
THORENS has created the TD 402 DD with the objective of combining high quality with ease of use. With its direct drive and semi-automatic playback system, the TD 402 DD can surely be defined as the best buy in this price range. Available in "black gloss" and "walnut gloss" surface finishes.
The luxury of ease of use
With the TD 402 DD, THORENS has done everything possible to ensure that you only have to worry about listening. Its start and stop systems are automatic. To top it all off, the turntable has an MM phono pre-amp built into its chassis, allowing easy and complete connection to all modern audio systems: a stereo amp, a hi-fi system or even a pair of wireless speakers that do not have a phono input.
The strength of an Audio Technica AT VM95E
This turntable is equipped with a TP72 tone arm and a pre-mounted Audio Technica AT VM95E cartridge. The newly developed carbon tone arm combines lightness and strength, and also helps to limit vibrations. The AT VM95E phono cell is an asset of the turntable, thanks to its technicality and its performances: equipped with a double magnet MM generator (the coils adopt a para-toroidal shape and are made of high purity OFC copper (99.99997%)) and with a VM technology (based on the use of two magnets placed in a V shape (Audio-Technica Vector Aligned technology), the magnetic performances of the cell are assured. Finally, the cell offers a reduction in sound distortion thanks to an isolation plate located between the coils, and also guarantees linear sound reproduction from 20 Hz to 22 kHz.
