Unboxing and setting up the the brand new Thorens TD124DD
มุมมอง 97K4 ปีที่แล้ว
In 1957 Thorens released its iconic TD 124 onto the market and it quickly becomes a great success. It is aimed both at the professionals in the broadcasting studios and home audio enthusiasts who wanted to play the newly introduced stereo long-playing vinyl records available around the same time in top quality. The TD 124 was produced until 1968 but now the legendary brand is now building on th...
MARVELOUS SET
Super groovy! Enjoy!. Love the yellow prism strobe! Easy to determin speed drift! Thank you so much!
0.04% wow&flutter. This is extremely poor for over $10,000 direct drive turntable. Better than td 402&403 dd's 0.15%, but still worse than Technics' cheapest model's 0.025%.
Same motors of The old Technics 🤷🏻♂️
Much gratitude for providing this unboxing, Shaun, but doesn't this table come with a wooden box framed with metal bars?
Can you not use the cueing device at all? Meaning manually lift, move the tonearm back into position and vice versa?
For the price they should send someone to your home to set it up. 😁
Great video! Love my original TD-124. I would think that balancing the tonearm before attaching the anti-skate would make balancing easier, and maybe more accurate. They should have included 78 rpm.
That's correct, suppose to balance tonearm before anti-skate
3.5-4.0 grams? What are you using for a Cartridge? In the last twenty years, all of my cartridges have a downforce of 1.4 to 2.0. The only cartridge with heavy downforce is the conical tip??
SPU which uses heavy tracking
Direct drive is the only improvement here. Otherwise, this is a sorry, unworthy successor to the original 124. You are stuck with their choice of tonearm. No 78 rpm speed and no dust cover available. And for the ridiculous high price, not even made in Europe. What a joke. The opportunity for greatness was lost here.☹
better the old 124 pulley. this dd is not worth the money it costs
Nice - but ridiculously overpriced.
I'm always amazed at spending tons of money on great stereo equipment then putting the turn table right next to the speakers..
Wow, nice deck. 4 grams of tracking force does seem very high.
Yes indeed, its destroys the grooves, and your cardridge
No justification for such an exhorbant price for a turntable.
The neat baboon optionally search because sense topologically beam among a wanting cartoon. whole, festive cracker
Is it user friendly ?
Very.
Nice review thx
Where's the lid? Ten grand and it doesn't have a lid? And why would I need an instructional video about setting it up? For ten grand I'd expect someone from Thorens to come round and set it up personally. And bring me a lid!
Just a shame you're playing a digitally remastered vinyl. Sort of misses the point really!
No it actually doesn't.
LPS stay beyond Digital era
Way to much trouble to assemble
🌷🌷🌷🌷👌❤
Gute Idee, den kultigen TD124 als Direktantriebler herauszubringen. Aber statt deutscher Fertigung Fertigung in Fernost bei Hanpin. Und das zum Preis von rund 8000 EUR pro Stück? Für ein Discotheken-Setup mit 2 Geräten wären das umgerechnet 32 Tausend Mark! Billig herstellen lassen zu Fernost-Löhnen - verkaufen an eine Elite von Besserverdienenden.
the Arm looks very similar to the famous EMT 929 arm
How much price indian rupees reply immediately
only a Brit knows how to do a good presentation on turntables like this...well done
This is a nice turntable but it’s a completely redesigned direct drive. It has almost nothing in common with the original TD 124 which is a belt/idler drive.
Perfect detailed presentation. I can see a lot of Sugden amps. I own a basic Sugden SE. What do you think would be a good upgrade from that.
No doubt the quality of this tt is high, but the design is uninspiring.
I saw this and thought it would be fun to own one - cool retro look. The brand name concerned me because I thought that might mean it costs over $500 (I used to sell hi-fi and consider Thorens stuff to be good, but over priced somewhat). I just looked up the price. Yeah, I won't be owning one of these. This one is in the "rich man's toy" price range ($11,500). Maybe Audio Technica could make a clone, and they could get Crosley to design the look. :D
A bit too much waffle .......
4 gram tracking? Wow, that is pretty high.
That's what I thought. About what they were in 1957.
more videos！
but use a proper camera please.....
It's T-horens not Th-orens!
this is never not going to make me laugh how companies will take tell for all they are worth.
Where available ? I am interested to buy.
😍😍😍😍
Nice way to ruin your records!4 grams is a record killer!!2,5 is max max
Cool video and beautiful turntable!!! Wonderful system too as far as I can see... Did you try any other cartridges than the SPU 124? What would be your best fit in terms of head-shells and cartridges in case you have spent some time investigating other combinations?
He was using the budget SPU #1E not SPU 124. I use Goldring Ethos with 124DD and seems to work very well with it.
Could by a decent second hand car for the price of this.
Where can i buy
Nice, good to see they are going forward by going direct drive! 👍 Btw, that tonearm looks suspiciously much like an old EMT tonearm, those were really good! What's the rumble specification of this turntable?
A dream machine indeed. I was bit surprised that the VTF scale on the arm was not accurately calibrated.
I think that was more user related...If you want to do it properly remove anti-skate at least.
@@martinda7446 So the anti skate caused it to be almost a whole gram off?
@@EddieJazzFan Er No he just didn't do it properly. Just so you know where I'm coming from. I'm not criticising just letting you know what's going on. I am an audio engineer of getting on for 45 years. I too would be interested to see the how well it is calibrated after having owned two TD124s in my time.and in those 45 years have never seen an arm a gram out..And that would literally be thousands of tonearms. You need to take a little bit of care.
I’d be curious to know what cartridge you are using. Four grams for the tracking weight seems a little high. Thanks for going over all of the details on the video. The first few seconds of Take Five sounded heavenly.
pretty sure it's just the included spu
@@trevor245 The one he used is Ortofon SPU#1E. The optional one with Thorens is much higher end one, a modified SPU Synergy G with lower tracking force and easier handling by phono.
If Thornes wants to re-release a classic..It should be the 125-Mk II. I recently re-built mine. Works better than ever. At least with the 125 your not stuck with that built-in "budget" tonearm. 4 grams...Yikes !
I have the TD-125 LB and it’s marvelous! That would probably the last thing I upgrade in my system
Is this really worth $12k more than a clean original TD124?
this is a pretty good record player system !
Thorens oder ...... Was ist denn besser?
beautiful table
