Reloop Announce New Direct Drive Turntable
Henley Audio have been in touch to announce the immediate availability of Reloop HiFi’s second turntable, the TURN 5. After the introduction of the TURN 3 in late 2016, the TURN 5 is a direct drive turntable that doesn’t break the bank.
TURN 5 is a quartz-controlled direct-drive record player that has a sturdy, industrial chassis boasts a “premium finish”, accented by gold trim.
Internally, the brushless direct-drive DC motor ensures a quick and powerful drive system with stable and smooth rotational power. Coupled to the dampening rubber base of the platter (which is also supplied with a rubber mat), the TURN 5’s drive system is free from unwanted resonance. 
To suit the widest range of record collections, the TURN 5 motor supports 33, 45 and 78RPM playback with a choice of three buttons on the top plate. For collectors who have a variety of cartridges to suit their record collection – such as 78RPM mono cartridges for shellac records, or a different type of cartridge for different musical styles – the TURN 5 is equipped with a statically balanced S-shape tonearm with removable headshell for easy cartridge changeovers. The tonearm system boasts a sturdy-yet-light frame with convenient anti-skate dial, adjustable VTA, a hydraulic lift system and a heavy counterweight to suit a wide variety of cartridge/headshell combinations. In the box, the TURN 5 is supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge.
The rear-mounted gold-plated, phono-level RCA outputs with separate earth connection are recessed into the chassis for added protection and to facilitate easy cable upgrades. Elsewhere the TURN 5 is supplied with all necessary cables and accessories to get working out of the box, and a dust cover is also included.
SRP £650.00
The Reloop TURN 5 is available in the UK now.
