Thorens TD 124 DD

 































































The original TD 124 was introduced in 1957 and has been used for decades in countless broadcast studios around the world. Ambitious music lovers also quickly discovered the highly precise turntable for themselves; a dedicated fan base has remained loyal to the TD 124 to this day.

Thorens is now building on this tradition with the completely newly developed TD 124 DD and continues it with innovative technologies. The purist design and basic construction are based on the original, but the height-adjustable aluminium chassis now rests on vibration-damping rubber elements. Instead of the original drive with friction wheel and belt, the new TD 124 DD uses a "High Precision" Direct Drive. This provides powerful torque, allows precise speed control, and keeps unwanted vibrations from the drive away from the platter.

Also new is the tonearm TP 124. It can be precisely adjusted in all parameters to the cartridge of choice and features an innovative anti-skating solution with a ruby bearing and a patented electric tonearm lift to facilitate gentle placement and removal of the stylus.

In addition to the extensive adjustment options, the enclosed headshell provides a great deal of flexibility when it comes to selecting a cartridge. The TD 124 DD also comes with an additional, slightly heavier counterweight that matches the Thorens SPU TD 124 pickup, which is available separately. This is an updated version of another legendary piece of vinyl equipment, the famous Ortofon SPU. Thorens has created the SPU 124 together with Ortofon for the discerning vinyl enthusiast looking for the extraordinary.

Thorens has payed attention to every detail when developing the new TD 124 DD to ensure that it meets the highest aspirations in sound performance. A high-quality external power supply unit ensures interference-free power delivery. In addition to the unbalanced outputs, balanced XLR connectors are also provided, which guarantee optimal signal transmission and thus the best possible sound when connecting the TD 124 DD to a high-end system with an appropriately equipped phono preamplifier.


Features:

High Precision Direct Drive Motor

Electrical Lift

TP124 Tonearm

Removable Headshell (SME connector)

Prepared for SPU Cartridge

Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs

External power supply

Note: Delivery is special order and lead time is 3-4 weeks.

Galibier Design The Eiger


























This is a completely new direction in turntables for Galibier, but by no means have we thrown out all we’ve learned through the years.

Here are some key features:

Magnetically tensioned rim drive –  fine adjustable tensioning system
Dual, 12″ tonearm capable with revised, sliding armboard architecture based on the Gavia and Stelvio Mk II
4Q controller (evolution of the Stelvio drive)
Modular drive system for ease of service
Gavia TPI© platter standard (Stelvio TPI© optional)
Identical bearing as the Stelvio


































Bearing Design

Features and Benefits:

Precision machining to air-bearing tolerances.  The  .800″ (20mm) diameter shaft means lower deflection and higher precision during the machining process.

Oil reservoir/chamber.  A central section of the bearing serves to damp stray bearing vibrations – slight as they may be.  Think of a plucked violin string whose maximum travel is at its midpoint.

Massive brass housing machined from 1.5″ (38mm) stock – contributes to vibration and heat dissipation.

Replaceable Delrin thrust plate and hardened steel ball for long life and low noise.  None of the “exotics” we’ve tried have convinced us to change this element.
