TD 404 DD

The TD 404 DD is a direct-drive turntable built around a powerful direct-drive motor and a TP 160 tonearm. A revised electronic tonearm lift (e-Lift) with an auto-stop function raises and lowers the arm and helps limit wear on the stylus and record.

The platter has a new design with resonance damping and an integrated stroboscope with pitch control, so the speed can be fine-tuned. The chassis is a sandwich construction with a 5 mm aluminium top plate for low resonance. Three height-adjustable, spring-loaded feet decouple the deck and allow it to be levelled.

At the rear there are gold-plated RCA outputs and balanced XLR outputs, so it can be connected to a wide range of phono stages and hi-fi systems. A removable cover is supplied. A TPN 124 linear power supply is available as an optional accessory for cleaner power delivery.
