Reloop TURN5 Fully Manual Three-Speed Stereo Turntable

The TURN5 is a quartz-controlled, direct-drive turntable designed with technical sophistication in mind.

The brushless, direct-drive DC motor helps ensure a powerful drive and consistent rotation, thanks in part to the low-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter. A dampening rubber base on the system is engineered to eliminate unwanted resonance, and the included 5mm rubber mat further protects against vibrations.

The three motor speeds can be selected with the top-mounted switch. You can play shellac 78 records by replacing the included cartridge with a separately available compatible one. The universal locking mechanism (SME) on the tonearm allows for quick and easy replacement of the headshell, and the included counterweight enables the TURN5 to accept a variety of cartridges, even with heavier pickups. The rear-mounted RCA output is gold-plated and features a separate ground connection to help prevent interference. The entire terminal section has been recessed to help protect the connectors. The power and RCA cables are removable for simplified swapping.

The TURN5 uses a statically balanced S-shaped tonearm, which has a hydraulic lift, anti-skating setting, arm height adjustment, and locking VTA to help provide optimum performance and accurate sound reproduction. The cartridge is pre-mounted on the headshell and features an elliptical cut.

The housing is built with metal with shock-absorbing feet to help isolate unwanted vibrations and reduce ambient noise. The combination of several materials is designed to provide additional stiffness to the housing. The turntable itself gold-plated.
