Various Artists Tribute to a Legend TD 124 (2 LP)

Thorens' personal favourite tracks bring pure listening pleasure. Pieces that have accompanied over a good part of private and professional life. Recordings from the 70s, 80s and 90s, but also very current productions, because the interest and enthusiasm for music doesn't just stop at some point. Especially not when you can enjoy them with the very best hi-fi technology. This album is meant to celebrate a turntable in a very special way: The TD-124 is the epitome of everything that makes Thorens so unique, admirable and desirable. Let us take you on a journey through your personal record collection. Discover the tonal peculiarities and moods that are waiting to be discovered from piece to piece. You will discover great test pieces: During mastering, emphasis was placed on authentic timbres and the greatest possible dynamics. Inspiring music, a lot of variety – even if the basic genre is called "jazz" in the broadest sense – and always a bit of a technical and musical challenge.
"Brand owner Gunter Kürten and the professionals of In-Akustik have selected attractive titles for music lovers and audiophile gourmets alike and had them pressed into flawless 180g records.
