The Thorens TD104 mkI is a vintage turntable manufactured by the Swiss audiophile brand Thorens in the 1960s. It is part of the TD-100 series, which was released in the mid-50s and considered a major milestone in the evolution of Thorens turntables.The TD104 mkI features a die-cast aluminum chassis, a belt-driven AC motor, a three-point suspension system, a high-torque tonearm with a dynamic-balanced cartridge, and a removable dust cover. The 'mkI' in the model name simply denotes that this particular version of the TD104 was introduced earlier than subsequent updates, primarily a redesigned tonearm base.The TD104 mkI is renowned for its timeless design, build quality, and musicality, making it a sought-after turntable for collectors, audiophiles, and vinyl enthusiasts. Due to its vintage appeal and high collector's value, units in good condition can fetch significant prices, but well-maintained models continue to be used as a reference standard in high-end audio systems.
