The Thorens TD295 mkIV is a high-end turntable manufactured by the Swiss audio equipment company Thorens. It is part of the TD (Technical Director's) series, which is known for its precision engineering and minimalist design. The mkIV (fourth edition) of the TD295 was released in 2016 as an updated version of the popular TD295 turntable.Some of the features that make the TD295 mkIV stand out include:1. Tonearm - The tonearm is a unipivot design made of high-quality materials, such as carbon fiber and brass. The tip of the tonearm uses a boron cantilever with a DIN-compliant diamond stylus. The cartridge can be easily replaced without the need for any screws, as the system uses a clamping mechanism.2. Platter - The platter is made of 30mm thick acrylic and has a low-friction, soft-felt mat on the underside. It is driven by a 16-pole synchronous motor with a soft-start circuitry that avoids any electric shock.3. Belt drive - The turntable uses a belts drive system with a two-step pulley and a custom-made Sorbothane decoupler beneath the sub-platter to minimize vibrations.4. Phono stage - A high-quality phono stage with RCA outputs and a grounding post can be optionally added to the turntable.The Thorens TD295 mkIV also features a heavy MDF base with a wooden top to provide stability and isolation, as well as adjustable feet for leveling.Overall, the Thorens TD295 mkIV is a high-performance turntable that combines traditional design with modern engineering. It is suitable for audiophiles who appreciate the warmth and detail of vinyl records and desire precise and accurate playback.
