Description
The RPM 5 takes a lot of technology from its bigger brother the RPM 9 to make it a stunning sounding table. The carbon wrapped ultra low resonance carbon fiber wrapped chassis, the inverted platter with a ceramic ball bearing for low rumble, and an incredibly massive satinized acrylic platter create an acoustic powerhouse. Also using a solid piece of carbon fiber for the tonearm makes it have almost no resonance but gives ultimate flexability for an array of different cartridges. All in all an incredible table at a surprising price considering all the technology and materials used.
Chassis
This chassis is an ultra low – resonance design with a carbon-fiber wrapped MDP chassis.
Platter
The RPM 5 has a massive acoustically inert platter made from satinized acrylic. The platter sits on a inverted ceramic ball bearing for incredible low rumble creating incredibly accurate vinyl playback.
Outboard AC Motor
This ultra speed consistent AC motor is driven with a DC power supply to be perfectly smooth and consistent for perfect vinyl playback. As an outboard motor it sets in the plinth, but is isolated to further reduce any potential vibrations and noise added by the motor.
Tonearm and Cartridge
The tonearm is an EVO CC Carbon Fiber , which is fancy way of saying made out of a solid piece of carbon fiber engineering to disippate any standing wave reflections. Carbon Fiber is a fantastic material that is both light, and very strong. Pairing that tonearm with an audiophile quality Sumki Amethyst MM cartridge gives this table a massive edge to other turntables in this price point.
Upgradability
The RPM 5 is similar to most Pro-ject turntables in the fact it is very easy to upgrade. The tonearm allows for almost all MM or MC cartridge upgrades, and the table is ready to upgrade to a true balanced design. A balanced table negates any noise or distortion gained over signal paths to truly give you a perfectly authentic signal.
