Enjoy audiophile level sound quality and the ease of use of a direct-drive motor with the black TD 403 DD Manual Two-Speed Direct-Drive Turntable from Thorens. The TD 403 DD features Thorens' high-quality TP 150 tonearm, introduced in the higher-end TD 1500 model. The tonearm has an effective mass of 14g, adjustable height and azimuth, and comes equipped with a standard SME connector for easy exchanges and replacements. A preinstalled Ortofon Blue MM cartridge delivers clear and balanced audio. The motor is designed to run silently and there is no built-in preamp to add noise to the signal chain. Furthermore, the die-cast aluminum platter is 22mm thick with a mass of 1.4kg to reduce resonance and provide stable playback.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this turntable made in Germany?

A: Yes, Country of Origin is GERMANY.

Q: 2. IS THE RCA CABLE TOTTALY REPLACEBLE?

A: No it is not easily replaceable as it is soldered internally.

Q: 3. How's the SL-1210GR2 different from the SL-1210GR?

A: The main upgrade to the Technics SL-1210GR2 Direct Drive Turntable System II (Black) is the improved motor. Aside from that, it is mostly similar to the SL-1210GR.

Q: 4. Can the built-in preamp be completely bypassed so that the output of the cartridge goes directly to the output terminals on the back of the turntable?

A: Yes, the built-in preamp on the AT-LP5X can be bypassed when the preamp selector switch is set to Phono. When Line output is selected the internal preamp is active. The Phono setting is used when you are connecting to an amp with a dedicated phono input which will have its own preamp built-in or if you want to use a separate external preamp. The Line output setting is used when connecting the turntable to an amp that does not have a dedicated phono preamp so the internal preamp on the AT-LP5X will be engaged.

Q: 5. Is this wheel stand pre-drilled for Fanatec CSL elite wheelbase (which has three triangle-shaped mounting positions)?

A: Yes it should. According to Next Level Racing, its compatible with Fanatec wheels.

Q: 6. Hello There! Does this AT-LP140XP turntable have a built in phono pre-amp?

A: This turntable does not have a phono pre-amp, so if you require connecting to active speakers, i would suggest the Rolls VP29 Phono Preamp, BH #ROVP29.

Q: 7. What stylus or cartridge is an easy inexpensive immediate upgrade?

A: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1395896-REG/ortofon_concorde_mkii_mix_cc.html

Q: 8. does this turntable have an anti-skate control?

A: I do not see an anti-skate control listed in the manual for the Thorens TD-102.

Q: 9. With the preamp, could I connect this directly to speakers and get decent sound, or would I still need an amp?

A: You will not need an amplifier if this turntable is connected directly to active (self-amplified/powered) speakers.

Q: 10. Is it fully automatic?

A: No it is not.

[0.15%] I was very impressed with this wheel stand when I was putting it together. And more impressed after I put it together. It is very solid, even with the wheels on it.

[>25 dB / 1 kHz] Playing Peter Gabriel’s The Rhythm of the Heat. Bringing down the house. The Beatles 2018 White Album and Abbey Road. Beautiful. Plenty of bass and highs. Paired it all up with a Rotel MKII and a pair of KLH Model 5’s. Extremely nice pairing for authentic vinyl reproduction. Everything sounds loud and clear, no hum or fuzz when playing vinyl through the Rotel’s phono amp. This turntable has gold-plated connectors and according to the us.technics website (https://us.technics.com/products/direct-drive-turntable-system-sl-1500c-k) lots of separation in the components to reduce noise. This is an excellent pairing for my needs. I do not know if I will use the auto lift feature. But nice just in case. Highly recommend this turntable in this price range. Extremely rigid and heavy build. I looked at a few other turntables in this price range and sure, you can get a Rega Planar 3, very cool, but I just felt that it was too fine and delicate for my setup. Plus I decided I didn’t want a belt drive. I guess I’m not a purist. I wanted something beefy and this is a beast with refinement. Super quiet and beautiful, matte-black version. Highly recommend it.

[20Hz to 25kHz] What a beautiful statement this Thorens turntable makes in the gloss white color! Also, it sounds fantastic. This was an upgrade for me from a turntable that has no preamp. With this model’s built in preamp, my listening experience has been dramatically elevated. As an added bonus, the white matches our entertainment center perfectly. It is so unique. I have never seen a white turntable. I had to call BH customer service due to an issue with the website trying to charge me too much for shipping. The agent I spoke to was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he resolved my issue immediately and even processed the order right then so I didn’t have to lift a finger. I am beyond pleased with both the product and BH’s customer support. But that’s nothing new. BH always has top notch products and service. That’s why I keep coming back!

[>25 dB / 1 kHz] This stand is amazing. I’m so glad I made the choice to spend a little more for a Direct Drive wheel stand. It comes with everything you need ( all predrilled) to mount your wheel/pedals, shifter and handbrake. No flex what so ever!! Easily adjustable, although you will have to loosen, and tighten the nuts and bolts to make adjustments, but honestly it’s worth it for the stability this stand brings.. everything you need is included. Instructions are easy to read!! And as always doing business with B&H you product will arrive promptly.. I received mine within a week.. I definitely recommend this stand.. I’m only using the Thrustmaster TS-XW which put out around 6 Newton meters of force. It’s good to know that when I do upgrade it can handle whatever I throw at it.. the finish is a flat black.. very nice!!! So pleased with this stand!! Way to go Next Level Racing!!!

[>25 dB / 1 kHz] This table easily outperforms so called audiophile belt drive tables from $400-600. If you're not using it for DJ applications simply replace the stylus with an AT95 Series elliptical stylus and your all set. Simple low cost upgrades would better cables, rubber mat and a record clamp. You won't be disappointed with this tables cost performance ratio.
