Description
Transrotor Dark Star Turntable
Please contact us for package pricing. Numerous Tone Arm and Cartridge choices available.
The Dark Star rests on three feet. The motor and tonearm bases are suspended. The Dark Star uses no suspension or damping system.
The noise level is very low, almost inaudible. The overall neutrality makes this turntable readily compatible with many MM and MC cartridges and phono preamplifiers.
The platter undergoes special treatment to reduce vibration and resonance stemming from the drive system. It is visible on the underside of the platter and features concentric ribbing. Its weight and design result in great inertia. The drive principle is quite standard. It comprises a belt and AC synchronous motor. As with most high-end turntables, there is no sub-platter and the belt just slips around the edge of the platter. The stainless steel drive spindle rests on a brass housing. The bearing comprises a ceramic ball-bearing.
Weight 24kg.
