Transrotor Fat bob s TMD

In this basic version, the Fat Bob S is equipped with a rega rb 330 tone arm and a Uccello MM cartridge.

With the Transrotor Fat Bob (and the current S version), Transrotor inaugurated a line of turntables without a recognisable chassis: the base of the turntable is no larger than the platter. The motor is placed on an external block, the bases for the tone arm protrude from the imposing base. The smaller Max is also based on this idea, but the Fat Bob was the first - and has maintained a certain lead to this day.

The Fat Bob is made entirely of aluminium. Its weight of 25 kilos clearly designates it as a mass player.

The frameless drive concept makes the Fat Bob extremely versatile: a second tone arm can be installed without any problem and it is just as easy to install longer tone arms of 12 inches. This is not possible with most conventional decks on the market. And of course, the Fat Bob can also be equipped with power supplies, pickups and more.

And what exactly does the "S" in the Fat Bob's name mean? It is equipped with a brilliant TMD magnetic bearing as standard, because it is absolutely frictionless. At Transrotor, this high-tech bearing is normally reserved for larger models. But thanks to this bearing, the Fat Bob S from Transrotor is perhaps even quieter than its predecessors and every improvement is even more audible.
