Transrotor at the High End 2022

Strato, Massimo & Max

Sandwich design or all black finish

At Transrotor, some of the models that appeared a few years ago and were then put aside were the new ones, with :

- The Srato Nero and the Strato Bianco, whose chassis is made of aluminium and acrylic mounted in a sandwich. Their weight is close to 40 kg. The bearings are on magnetic bearings (TMD), and they are driven by three motors with a stabilised power supply via the FMD block. They are equipped with the TRA9 tone arm and the MC Figaro cartridge. These models have a much more classic shape than what we are used to seeing from the German manufacturer.

- The Massimo and Max models, more accessible in terms of price, are available this year in a beautiful matt black finish.
