At High End Munich 2025, Thorens elevates its legendary TD 124 lineage with the TD 124 DD Exclusive, a high-end turntable that builds on the acclaimed TD 124 DD and its 140th Anniversary Edition. This exclusive model, showcased at Thorensโ€™ exhibition booth, introduces a 12-inch TP 124 tonearm and a specially crafted EMT Tondose 124 Exclusive cartridge, setting a new benchmark for analog music reproduction. Designed for discerning audiophiles, the TD 124 DD Exclusive combines cutting-edge technology with Thorensโ€™ storied heritage, delivering unrivaled sound precision and aesthetic elegance.

A Legacy Enhanced: The TD 124 DD Exclusive

Since its original debut in 1957, the Thorens TD 124 has been a cornerstone of high-fidelity audio, revered in broadcast studios and audiophile setups worldwide. The TD 124 DD, reintroduced in 2020, modernized this icon with a high-precision direct drive motor and the TP 124 tonearm. The TD 124 DD Exclusive takes this legacy further, incorporating exclusive components to achieve reference-level performance. โ€œWith the TD 124 DD Exclusive, Thorens sets a new benchmark in the premier class of turntable construction,โ€ the company states, emphasizing its commitment to unparalleled sound quality.

The centerpiece of this model is the 12-inch TP 124 tonearm, an evolution of the original TP 124, designed to minimize tracking error through its extended length, reducing distortion for pristine audio clarity. Its internal pure silver cablingensures maximum signal purity, preserving every nuance from cartridge to output. Complementing the tonearm is a pure copper platter support, which enhances acoustic coupling between the platter and record, further reducing resonances for exceptional sound precision.

The EMT Tondose 124 Exclusive Cartridge: A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

A standout feature of the TD 124 DD Exclusive is its bespoke EMT Tondose 124 Exclusive cartridge, developed by Switzerlandโ€™s EMT Tontechnik and optimized for the 12-inch TP 124 tonearm. Drawing inspiration from the legendary EMT โ€œTondoseโ€ used in professional radio applications, this cartridge is a marvel of engineering, featuring:

  • Cantilever: Ruby for superior rigidity and tracking

  • Needle Cut: Gyger for precise groove tracing

  • Coil Wire: Pure gold for optimal conductivity

  • Output Voltage: 0.7 mV @ 5 cm/s

  • Channel Balance: 0.5 dB

  • Impedance: 12 Ohm

This cartridge delivers outstanding channel separation, immense dynamics, and fine detail resolution, making it ideal for audiophiles seeking the ultimate analog experience. Equipped with an SME connector, it ensures compatibility and a stable mechanical connection, enhancing setup flexibility.

Technical Excellence and Modern Connectivity

The TD 124 DD Exclusive retains the high-precision direct drive motor from the TD 124 DD, renowned for its powerful torque and smooth operation. This edition includes the TPN 124 linear power supply as standard, providing a clean and stable power source to maximize sonic performance.
