The Transrotor Bellini TMD is an updated classic high-end turntable from Transrotor, designed as a belt-driven, modular analog platform for serious vinyl playback. It uses Transrotor’s magnetically decoupled TMD bearing to reduce mechanical contact and resonance, and it is sold without a tonearm or cartridge so users can customize the setup. Review and manufacturer information indicate a 9 kg aluminum platter with anti-resonant plastic insert, synchronous AC motor, and external Konstant M1 Reference power supply. The Bellini TMD is positioned as a bespoke turntable rather than a plug-and-play product, with optional dust cover and platter mat accessories available.
