Verdict: A neat yet powerful as well as good sounding drive topped with an outstanding MC cartridge. This combination performs effortlessly sensible. The turntable with an excellent main platter bearing contributes calm to music. With this turntable you get high-class sound for a still moderate amount of money.

A real eye-catcher in every living room.
Its great smoothness and insensitivity to all resonances make it a high-end device in a class of its own.

RPM 5 Carbon utilises a radical concept with a lot of innovations, that originate from its big brother RPM 9 Carbon: A low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for further reduced rumble. The acoustically inert platter is made from acrylic. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with DC power supply for further enhanced speed stability. The classy 9“ Evo tonearm, which is made from carbon fibre is suitable for any high-quality MM or MC cartridge. A TPE-damped counterweight eliminates unwanted resonances.

The RPM 5 Carbon is available with or without Ortofon 2M-Silver cartridge. A super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Pro-Ject Connect it E phono cable is included.

In the box:

  • RPM 5 Carbon (with or without Ortofon 2M-Silver)
  • Connect it E Phono Cable
  • Record clamp
  • Adapter for 7“ singles
  • Power supply
