In the latest The Absolute Sound

In the latest The Absolute Sound there is an add by Axiss Audio with the Transrotor Apollon turntable with 3 tonearms. I have a similar setup minus the 3 tonearms, I do have 3 motors, 80mm platter, Transmotor Magnetic Drive (TMD) spindle bearing and quartz controlled power supply.

I can't wait for anyone of the reveiwers to get a hold of one of these to write a review. It would be interesting to see how it compares to the likes of the Walker Gold, SME20 and 30, and the VPI top dog, HRX. The brushed aluminum is absolutely stunning to look at and easy to clean.

It has been out in Germany for about 3 years now.

How do you play it without a tonearm?

I'm not reviewing the Transrotor turntable but I am reviewing the new record cleaning machine from Germany that's also distributed by Axiss.

I'm confident this new record cleaning machine is the best currently available.

So far Lloyd Walker and I have (I think) the only two in the USA of this version. It clearly beats anything I've heard but it's very expensive.

Hi Albertporter,

You are very lucky to be able to experience a great record cleaning machine, I am assuming it is either a Clearaudio, Acoustech or Hanni. I have the Clearaudio Matrix and it is performs great, my albums look like brand new and sound very quiet when I clean with the Matrix.

I forgot to add in my previous post that I have an SME V with Benz LP on my Transrotor Apollon and it is a great combination. It is being run through an Aesthetix IO Signature. I am contemplating adding a second tonearm, probably another SME V or Phantom Graham with Clearaudio Goldfinger MC.

I still would like to see someone review the Apollon and make a comparison with the other high end turntables in the market right now.

Ciao,
