The EISA award Turntable of the year 2010 - 2011 was granted with these words:
"This eye-catching turntable is clearly the most novel design to emerge from Thorens in the last decade. Employing a sprung suspension and separately decoupled motor, this two-speed deck also comes complete with Thorens' own TP92 tonearm and MM pick-up cartridge. It is ready within minutes of unpacking and offers more than a glimpse into the world of the glorious 'vinyl sound', which is growing in popularity among general consumers and audiophiles alike. The TD309 is a stylish and affordable passport into the realm of the vinyl LP."
