Direct Drive HiFi turntable systemWith THE TURN 5, Reloop HiFi presents a quartz-controlled, directly driven record player, which also meets the highest sound requirements. With our many years of expertise in record player development, a new hi-fi player could be designed, which with its technical sophistication is one of the best in its class. Powerful DC motor & low-resonance die-cast turntableThe collector-less, direct-driven DC motor provides for a powerful drive with a very uniform rotation, so a high smoothness could be achieved. THE turntable of THE TURN 5 is manufactured in the context of precision manufacturing by the die casting process and enables a perfectly balanced run. A damping rubber coating on the underside of the turntable eliminates unwanted resonances. The enclosed 5 mm thick rubber support protects against vibrations, so that nothing stands in the way of enjoying the sound. Statically balanced S-pick-up arm & Hi-Tech Ortofon pick-up systemA statically balanced S-shaped tonearm is used on THE TURN 5. This comes along with the hydraulic lift and an anti-skating setting, with a comfortable pick-up arm height adjustment including locking (VTA). This guarantees optimal pick-up scanning and an accurate reproduction of the sound carrier. The Ortofon 2M Red pick-up included in the delivery is already pre-assembled on a headshell and is characterized by its elliptical cut with excellent sound quality.High-quality controls & connectionsThe three speeds of the motor can be set via the two buttons on the top in 33 1/3, 45 or 78 RPM. Thus, even old shellac plates with a corresponding mono system could be played back via TURN 5. Next to it is the large and easy to use start/stop button. The universal rotary locking mechanism (SME) allows a wide range of headshells to be replaced quickly and easily. In addition, the supplied counterweight can be used to support a wide range of pick-up systems, as it also supports heavier systems. A gold-plated phono output pair with a separate earth connection is located on the back of THE TURN 5 to prevent possible humming loops. The connection field has been deepened for all cable connections in order to protect them as best as possible. The power cord used and the RCA cable to be connected can be removed for easy replacement. Elegant design in a particularly heavy designThe housing is based on a heavy metal, rubber and plastic construction with shock-absorbing feet in order to isolate vibrations as much as possible and to reduce ambient noise. The housing was additionally stiffened by the combination of different materials.Visually, THE TURN 5 is elegant and timeless with its rich, black piano lacquer. The gold-plated turntable hovers harmoniously over the top plate and looks at What Is Actually Important: The record.This text is machine translated.
