Transrotor Dark Star turntable (no arm or cartridge)
Referred to as their “dark star,” this model is both an aesthetic marvel and an audiophile powerhouse. Its name, evoking a hint of Star Wars inspiration, was no coincidence—it reflects the innovation and futuristic design ethos that define it.
This creation also marks a pivotal moment for founder Jochen Räke, where he first embraced the material polyoxymethylene (POM). This high-performance plastic shapes the entire construction, from the chassis to the motor and the turntable. At its heart is a striking six-centimeter-thick platter, complemented by a perfectly fitted weight, both crafted entirely from POM.
The result is a turntable that combines exceptional audiophile performance with a sleek, cohesive design—an impressive blend of function and form that stands out as a true masterpiece.
