The TD 124 DD Exclusive is a special edition of Thorens’s iconic turntable. This walnut-finished version blends the Swiss brand’s traditional design with high-end components, including a 12-inch tonearm and extensive compatibility with EMT Tondose professional cartridges.

A 12-inch tonearm

The most distinctive feature of this Exclusive version lies in its specially designed TP 124 tonearm configured at 12 inches (309 mm effective length). This extended geometry, usually reserved for professional broadcast equipment, fundamentally alters the groove-tracking parameters. The tracking error angle is significantly reduced compared with conventional 9-inch arms, thereby minimizing harmonic distortion across the entire surface of the record.

The pure silver internal wiring sets this special version apart from the standard model. This noble conductor ensures absolutely pure signal transmission from the cartridge to the outputs, preserving the most subtle micro-details of the recording. The anti-skating system incorporates ruby bearings, a refined technical solution that provides consistently precise counterforce with no parasitic friction. The 23.6° offset angle and 17.8 mm overhang have been calculated to optimize groove tracking with this specific arm length.

The 20-gram effective mass is particularly well suited to low-compliance moving-coil cartridges, notably Ortofon SPU models and the renowned EMT Tondose. The SME-type connector maintains universal compatibility while ensuring a rigid mechanical coupling between the cartridge and the arm.
