The Uber-Expensive Transrotor Quintessence Turntable

The Quintessence is Transrotor's latest creation, a turntable that promises the supreme acoustical bliss and which also boasts a royal and super-exclusive design that will definitely turn a lot of heads. If you feel like spending major cash on an audiophile contraption that your friends and visitors will envy you for, then you should take a close look at the Quintessence, as it comes loaded with all the features that would please even the most critical listeners.

The first noticeable thing about the Transrotor Quintessence is its finish – elegantly designed with polished gold and chrome accents that simply scream richness. Yet, if you plan to buy such a classy turntable, you should know that it will not blend too easily in any décor.

The Quintessence looks more like a piece of technological art meant for display in a museum, and trying to integrate it in a casual modern setting might not be the best idea.

On the tech side, the creators of the Transrotor Quintessence wanted it to sport the quietest operation possible and that's why the tonearm has been placed in an isolated module, separated from the turntable and making “noise and vibration contamination” virtually impossible, thus granting a pure and unadulterated sonic reproduction.

The platter is, of course, belt-driven and the total weight of the ensemble, which exceeds 70 kg, ensures vibration-free, top-notch listening conditions. Add up the hydrodynamic bearing systems to these features, and you'll get a top-drawer player for your vinyl records. Transrotor's award-winning and time-proven classic technologies have also been embedded in this gadget, making it worth “every Euro you've spent on it,” according to specialized reviewers.

Now, like pretty much all the things in the audiophile and high-end audio worlds, everything comes with a no-joke price, and Transrotor Quintessence makes no difference. If you want to get your hands on this chrome and gold records player, you must fork out almost $39,000.
