With the new model the Thorens TD 403 DD Turntable, Thorens completes the line of direct drive plug-and-play turntables of the 400 series.
Aluminium Platter
Visually a true Thorens, the new TD 403 DD features the same proven smooth-running direct drive as the successful TD 402 DD but sets itself apart from its smaller brother with a more massive 1.4 kg and 22mm-thick Die-cast aluminium platter and the TP 150 audiophile tonearm also used in the new TD 1500 model.
Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge
A high-quality and pre-adjusted 2M Blue cartridge from Danish cartridge specialist Ortofon comes also supplied as standard. This proves to be an adequate playing partner for the TD 403 DD, due to its nude diamond with elliptical stylus.
TP 150 Tonearm
The new TP 150 tonearm is also used on the newly introduced Thorens TD 1500 model and is similar to the TP 124 used on the new TD 124 DD. It has an effective mass of 14 grams, is adjustable in height and azimuth and comes with a standard SME connector so that you can easily switch headshells or mount other cartridges.
Anti-Skating
The Thorens TD 403 DD turntable features anti-skating. The anti-skating is set by a sliding weight in the base of the arm, which is adjusted on a nylon thread guided over a ruby bearing.
