Description
Thorens TD 202 Turntable is a high-quality mid-level model sitting above the TD-201 and TD-203, it is ideal for those wanting a robust, simple to use manual plug and play turntable.
Compared with its “smaller” brother TD 201 it comes with a more massive plinth and an AT95E cartridge.
Phono Stage
Using the switchable integrated phono stage the TD 201 can be directly connected to an external phono stage, amplifier or receiver even if it does not have a specific input for phono devices.
Construction
TD-202 features Thorens' conventional modern take on the 80's control knobs as presented on the TD 206 and 209 along with a square and black wooden box that is similar to the TD280. The rear panel of the turntable has a built-in pre-amp and RCA sockets for your own cable of choice.
It also has an additional A/D converter with USB output for automatic digitisation and easy direct recording of vinyl albums to a computer using any type of downloadable recording software.
Design Features
This deck incorporates a plug-and-play design and is equipped with a smooth running belt drive, an aluminium platter with rubber mat as well as a new Thorens TP 71 tonearm with detachable headshell, the same as used by the TD-201 but it is preconfigured with an AT95E cartridge instead of the AT3600 cartridge that the lower model uses.
