Thorens - TD 403 DD at a glance
The Thorens TD 403 DD extends the 400 series of direct drive turntables and features the same reliable and quiet drive as the TD 402 DD. It stands out from its predecessor model with a more robust, 1.4 kg heavy and 22 mm thick aluminium platter and the audiophile TP 150 tonearm, which is also used in the TD 1500. A first-class 2M Blue cartridge from Ortofon is included as standard. Thanks to the nude diamond with elliptical cut, it proves to be an ideal playing partner. The TP 150 tonearm has an effective mass of 14 grams, can be adjusted in height and azimuth and is fitted with a standard SME connection, making it easy to replace the headshell or install a different cartridge. The anti-skating is adjusted via a nylon thread that runs over a ruby bearing.
