This new record player is to achieve where others fail: in a self-evident kind it combines high-class technology with noble, unobtrusive elegance. It is neither hiding its functions nor imposing. The beautiful chassis finished with genuine beechwood veneer or black piano laquer is adapting itself very well to its environment yet remains visible to everyone.
A matchless team-work of outstanding technology and stylistic harmony. Excellent technology embraced by elegant, genuine wood.
In any case the Thorens TD 240 keeps technically as well as sonically what its noble outfit is promising. This record player features a precision-ground belt, an electronically controlled D/C motor and comes equipped with the high-grade tonearm TP 21. Owing to the increased mass respectively weight of 6.5 kg as well as to the suspended chassis, the entire drive system runs extraordinarily smooth and thus supporting the exemplary sound. The speed selector can be set to 33, 45 and 78 rpm and hence can be considered an interesting tool for all friends of vintage shellac records.
