In 1957 Thorens released its iconic TD 124 onto the market and it quickly becomes a great success. It is aimed both at the professionals in the broadcasting studios and home audio enthusiasts who wanted to play the newly introduced stereo longplaying vinyl records available around the same time in top quality. The TD 124 was produced until 1968 but now the legendary brand is now building on this tradition with the completely newly developed TD 124 DD.
