Touch TD-1

Tactile and analog.

Every part you touch was made to be felt — machined, mechanical, deliberate. Here's what it's built from.

Aluminum body

Aluminum body

Machined from aluminum — precise, rigid, and honest to the touch. It doesn't flex, warp, or wear like wood or plastic. A piece you'll have for life.

Mechanical control

Mechanical control

Knobs that turn. Switches that click. No digital apps — the way analog was meant to be played.

Magnetic magic

Magnetic magic

A magnetic clamp draws the record down and seats it true, in one effortless motion. The quiet pull you'll find yourself looking forward to.

Engineering

Engineered for your records.

Belt driven

Belt driven

Decoupling the motor's vibration from the platter, creating a quieter and smoother listening experience.

A mount of its own

Engineered with a built-in level, the rubber-coated plate easily mounts and reduces vibrations and noise. TD-1 clicks into place, magnetically.

Expressive

Your records say something about you. TD-1 puts your collection on display.

Questions.

The Turntable
How does the tracking force work?+

The TD-1 auto-calibrates. You enter the force for the cartridge and TD-1 handles the rest, keeping your records safe from damage

Will a vertical turntable damage my records?+

What protects a record is correct tracking force — not whether the deck lies flat. The TD-1 sets that force automatically and holds it in range as it plays, so it tracks within the same safe window upright as a traditional turntable does horizontal.

What cartridge does it use?+

Whichever you like. The TD-1 takes easy-swap headshells, so you choose the cartridge — and it calibrates the tracking force to whatever stylus you mount. Before shipping you will be able to select which cartridge you want (included at no extra fee)
