## Description

Ready to Play Out of the Box: Thorens TD 402 DD Direct-Drive Turntable Features Cartridge, Phono Preamplifier, Carbon Tube TP 72 Tonearm, and Outstanding High-End Sound Vintage styling, precision German engineering, and out-of-the-box readiness distinguish the Thorens TD 402 DD turntable. With a nod to the company's fabled 1970s models, TD 402 DD is Thorens' first direct-drive turntable in 30 years – and well worth the wait. Equipped with a whisper-quiet motor that delivers exceptionally smooth and accurate speed control, TD 402 DD can stop and start on a dime. The sonic payoffs translate to natural, organic vinyl playback with a veritable sense of realism and propulsion. TD 402 DD comes with an Audio-Technica 95VM E cartridge aligned and installed on a cutting-edge, carbon-tube TP 72 tonearm. All you need to do is check the tracking force and anti-skate settings. Within minutes of unboxing TD 402 DD, you'll enjoy the rich detail and thrilling dynamics that make collecting vinyl so addictive. In addition to providing outstanding, distortion-free tracking, 95VM E arrives mounted on a detachable head shell that offers a variety of high-performance stylus upgrades easily made with simple plug-and-play installation. That means you can keep elevating your playback experiences without the cost of purchasing a new turntable. Known for its integration of form and function, Thorens also equips TD 402 DD with a convenient automatic start-and-stop function that prevents the annoying (and potentially hazardous) collision of your delicate stylus with the record label at the end of each album side. That's right: No more rushing to your ‘table when you're supposed to be savoring the last notes of a song. TD 402 DD even includes a moving-magnet phono preamplifier, so all you'll need to start playing music is an amplifier and speakers. Visually, TD 402 DD makes a statemen

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Swiss engineering
*by F***E on May 31, 2022*

Nothing to dislike, sound quality is superb build is superb. Thorens is a world renowned name.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Tonearm damping gave out after 2-3 years
*by D***P on February 19, 2024*

I had a very good experience with this turntable until it decided to not work properly anymore. The tonearm drops too fast. All the basic troubleshooting was performed. User manual does not mention anything specific about troubleshooting issues with damping (maybe Thorens do not expect damping issues to happen but it happened to me). User manual needs to be more comprehensive. Still waiting for Thorens to reply after I reached out to them for help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thorens - TD 402 DD - direct drive
*by J***G on April 25, 2021*

I received Thorens TT very well packaged in 2 boxes. Audio Technica cartridge supplied with TT was immediately replaced with Audio-Technica AT33EV Elliptical Nude Dual Moving Coil Cartridge installed on Audio Technica shellhead for straight tonearms. Tonearm in this TT is of carbon fiber. DD motor is very silent. TT is connected directly to MC input of Mcintoch C70 preamp. So far I'm pleased with the performance of my new Thorens.06/14/21TT is connected to the preamp by Audioquest interconencts and AudioQuest ground cable purchased from Amazon. Several days ago I heard first time humming noise while listening on high volume. I didn't change ground cable. Instead of Audioquest interconnects I installed quite expensive Kimber interconnects and to my surprise I had no sound at all. Audioquest cable was placed back and very low volume humming noise continued. I'll try to find the original very inexpensive cable supplied with Thorens and try it out. Will update soon.7/5/2021I bought from Amazon for $99 Pro-Ject tonearm interconnects supplied with ground cable. Humming noise disappeared.3/26/2022I got for my son McIntosh MA252 integrated amplifier which doesn't have connection for MC cartridge, only for MM cartridge, I removed MC cartridge and installed back AV95 SH - with shibata nidlle. I bought for him B&M 805D4 with Sub DB3s, SAUCD. MQA, Streemer by Technics SL-G700. And I again was hearing hamming noise. After long evaluation of the ground cable end of TD i discovered 2 thin washers. Per my experience its a must to position the spade of the ground cable between those two washers. then hamming noise disappear.As the relacemnt I purchased Thorens TD 1601 with Sumiko, Starling MC cartridge, which has XLR outputs in addition to RCA outputs.. Therefore it was a good much for my MP1000 McIntosh Phono Preamp.However I again forgot that the ground spade must be positioned between two thin washer. Upon return of the memory ground cable was installed properly and no hamming noise has heard, Whish you luck with Thorense graund installatins and cables,
