Reloop TURN 5 - Quartz direct-drive Hi-Fi turntable with gold-anodized platter and Ortofon 2M Red cartridge

The Reloop TURN 5 is a direct-drive Hi-Fi turntable designed to deliver rotational stability and refined sound in audiophile systems. Its quartz-controlled brushless DC motor maintains precise rotation at 33.5, 45, and 78 RPM via electronic selection, while the die-cast aluminum platter with a damping coating and 5mm rubber mat reduces unwanted resonances. The gold-anodized platter and piano black finish provide a timeless aesthetic.

The statically balanced S-shaped tonearm features a hydraulic lift , wheel-mounted anti-skating , and a lockable VTA (V- TA) base. A universal SME connector is included for quick headshell/cartridge changes. The Ortofon 2M Red (MM, elliptical) cartridge is pre-mounted as standard, ready for playback. A gold-plated RCA phono connection with ground lug ensures clean transmission; the recessed connector cavity protects cables and facilitates routing. The solid construction with decoupled feet completes a stable package for low wow and flutter playback and high vibration control.
