At High End Munich 2025, Thorens introduces the TD 404 DD, a turntable that marries the iconic DNA of the audiophile classic TD 124 DD with state-of-the-art engineering. Designed for discerning music lovers, this high-end turntable combines powerful performance, elegant aesthetics, and user-friendly features, making it a standout addition to Thorens’ storied lineup. Visitors can experience the TD 404 DD firsthand at the Thorens booth, where its exceptional sound and design will be on full display.

Heritage Meets Innovation

The Thorens TD 404 DD builds on the legacy of the legendary TD 124 DD, renowned for its precision and durability since its debut in 1957. At its core is a powerful direct drive motor, delivering smooth operation and high torque for consistent speed stability. Paired with the TP 160 tonearm, featuring an ultra-precise knife-edge bearing, the TD 404 DD ensures meticulous tracking and exceptional sound reproduction. The tonearm’s design draws inspiration from professional studio setups, offering audiophiles a level of detail that brings vinyl to life.

A newly designed highly damped platter incorporates advanced resonance control, minimizing vibrations for a cleaner, more dynamic sound. An integrated stroboscope with pitch control allows users to fine-tune playback speed with precision, ensuring every record is played as intended.

With the TD 404 DD, Thorens proves once again that tradition and innovation are not opposites — but the basis for excellent music reproduction, the company states.

Modern Features for Audiophile Convenience

The TD 404 DD is engineered for both performance and ease of use. Its electronic tonearm lift (e-Lift) with an auto-stop function gently raises the stylus at the end of a record, reducing wear on both the needle and vinyl. The turntable’s solid frame in sandwich construction, featuring a 5mm-thick aluminum top plate, minimizes resonance while exuding a premium aesthetic. Three height-adjustable, spring-loaded feet provide stable installation and effective decoupling from external vibrations, ensuring optimal performance on any surface.

Connectivity is equally sophisticated, with gold-plated RCA outputs and balanced XLR connections for seamless integration into high-end hi-fi systems. The optional TPN 124 linear power supply enhances sonic performance by delivering a clean, stable current, unlocking the turntable’s full potential. A removable dust cover is included for added protection and convenience.

Experience the TD 404 DD at High End Munich 2025

Audiophiles attending High End Munich 2025 can explore the TD 404 DD at Thorens’ exhibition space, where its combination of vintage-inspired design and modern technology will be showcased. Available in three stunning finishes — Black high gloss, Walnut high gloss, and Dark oak matt — the turntable is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive. With shipping set to begin in Q4 2025 and a retail price of €4,499, the TD 404 DD is positioned as a premium yet accessible option for vinyl enthusiasts.

Why the TD 404 DD Stands Out

The Thorens TD 404 DD is more than a turntable; it’s a statement of craftsmanship and innovation. By blending the robust engineering of the TD 124 DD with contemporary features like the e-Lift and XLR connectivity, Thorens has created a turntable that appeals to both purists and modern audiophiles. Its resonance-damping design and precise motor control deliver a listening experience that captures every nuance of a record, from delicate highs to powerful lows.
