Thorens TD 124 DD
High-end turntables · 2019–present In production
$11,995 US reference price
The reborn TD 124: the 1957 classic's looks and mass, re-engineered around a modern high-torque direct drive instead of the old idler wheel.
A faithful — and controversial — resurrection of the most famous Thorens of all.

Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- Sold without a cartridge fitted — budget for a compatible cartridge and setup before first use.
- Professional setup of tracking force, alignment, azimuth and arm height is worth budgeting for at this level.
