HIGHLIGHTS

• acrylic chassis
• 60 mm matte platter
• equipped with a TMD bearing

The appearance of the Transrotor Leonardo 40/60 is dominated by a 60 mm thick matt platter, polished to a satin finish.

For more than 20 years, Transrotor has been using acrylic alloys for its chainrings. The acrylic/vinyl composite is cast in blocks and its properties are perfectly matched to the vinyl material of the record.
However, this truly ideal material can only be processed with a great deal of experience. The specialists at the German company have mastered it perfectly.

The thermal expansion in connection with the metal bearing of the turntable must be taken into account.
During machining, the plate is therefore held in a vacuum clamping device, which prevents partial deformation.
After the main machining process, the plate is stored (annealed) in a heating cabinet, thus neutralising the small material tensions.
The last step is the adaptation to the hydrodynamic plate bearing. The finished platter bearing combination works without any noise.

The platter and the record are in harmony as if they were one.
