Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Compared with a new/Rega-level alternative, this isn’t a budget buy, but at €2,800 it’s also not wildly out of line for a serious Transrotor deck. Against your recent comp set, it sits above the €2,606 75th percentile, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair, though not absurd if the package is unusually complete.

That said, the Fat Bob S is well regarded for the things that matter: excellent speed stability, a heavy, low-resonance platform, and a presentation that can sound very poised and “sorted” when set up properly. In excellent condition, the real upside is owning a genuinely high-end, upgrade-friendly turntable with strong long-term appeal; I’d just want to know exactly what’s included, especially arm, PSU, platter, and dust cover, because accessories can move the value a lot.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Transrotor

Transrotor traces its roots to 1971 in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, where Jochen Räke founded the company after importing British turntables like the iconic Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference—famously featured in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Initially partnering with Michell Engineering for early models such as the 1976 Transrotor AC, Räke blended British design flair with German engineering precision. Production fully shifted to Germany by 1986 with the Connoisseur, marking full independence, and the family-run business under son Dirk Räke upholds this heritage today, even restoring vintage Transcriptors.

The brand specializes exclusively in high-end turntables, crafting precision instruments renowned for their massive, resonance-damping plinths, sophisticated suspension systems, and bespoke components. Models like the Massimo Nero exemplify this focus, prioritizing analog playback purity over diversification into amplifiers, speakers, or digital sources.

Transrotor occupies a niche boutique position in the ultra-high-end market, celebrated among audiophiles for "Made in Germany" excellence, sustainability, and timeless performance. As Germany's oldest turntable maker, it appeals to discerning collectors and vinyl enthusiasts seeking heirloom-quality decks that stand apart from mass-market fare.
