Reloop Turn 5 Direct Drive HiFi Turntable System With TURN 5 Reloop HiFi is launching a quartz-controlled, direct-drive turntable that meets the highest sound requirements. This is a Direct Drive HiFi Turntable System, made using our expertise we have developed a new HiFi turntable, which with its technical sophistication is the best in its class. Powerful DC Motor and Low-Resonance Die-Cast Platter The brushless, direct-drive DC motor ensures a powerful drive at a very consistent rotation and the TURN 5 has been produced using die-cast precision manufacturing techniques. A dampening rubber base on the turntable system eliminates any unwanted resonance and the accompanying 5 mm rubber coating also protects against vibrations so that nothing stands in the way of the exceptional sound reproduction. Static balanced S-tone arm and Hi-tech Ortofon cartridge System The TURN 5 uses a statically balanced S-shape tone arm. This is supplied, along with the hydraulic lift and an anti-skating setting, with a convenient tone arm height adjustment with locking VTA. This guarantees optimum performance of the cartridge and an accurate reproduction of the recording medium. The supplied Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is already pre-mounted on a headshell and stands out thanks to its elliptical cut with phenomenal sound quality. High-Quality Control Elements and Connections The three motor speeds can be selected with convenient controls on the top to 33 1/3, 45 or 78 rpm. This means the TURN 5 can also play back old shellac records with a corresponding mono-system (not included). Next to this is the large start/stop knob. The universal locking mechanism (SME) on the tonearm allows for a quick and easy headshell exchange. Also, with the supplied counterweight a whole range of cartridges can be used as this also supports heavier pick-ups. Gold-Plated RCA On the rear panel of the TURN 5 is a gold-plated phono output pair (RCA) with a separate earth connection to prevent any potential interference. The terminal for all cable connections has been recessed to protect them as much as possible. For a simple exchange, the power cable and the RCA cable can be removed. Elegant Design in a Particularly Heavy-Duty Construction The housing is built on a heavy-duty metal construction with shock-absorbing feet in order to isolate unwanted vibrations as much as possible and reduce ambient noise. The combination of several materials provides additional stiffness to the housing. With its deep black piano finish, visually the TURN 5 is elegant and timeless. The gold-plated turntable hovers harmoniously above the cover plate and focuses the view on the important thing – the record. 8AUDIO AAV-8XA High-fidelity Desktop Amplifier System with Full-range Speakers, and Bluetooth 5.0 The 8AUDIO AAV-8XA Desktop Amplifier System is a compact, budget-friendly audio solution designed for high-quality desktop listening, featuring a 2-channel amplifier delivering 50W per channel for clear, dynamic, and distortion-free sound. Paired with two 8XS 2-way full-range speakers, it produces balanced audio with crisp highs, detailed mids, and solid bass. Built for versatility, it offers Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless streaming, along with USB and 3.5mm Aux inputs for multiple wired sources. The complete package includes the amplifier, speakers, cables, and power adapter, providing a ready-to-use, all-in-one system for music, movies, and gaming.
Generating expert take…
Reloop emerged in 1996 from Germany, founded by Robert Lauterwein and a team of music technology experts amid the rising DJ culture. The brand's early focus centered on turntables that quickly gained traction in the club scene, marking its entry into professional audio with products designed by DJs for DJs. This heritage of innovation has sustained Reloop for over two decades, evolving from niche DJ gear to a broader audio presence.
The company specializes in DJ and studio equipment, including controllers, turntables, and mixers, all developed in Germany and assembled by Asian partners. Reloop has expanded into hi-fi with its TURN series and models like the RP7, targeting vinyl enthusiasts and audio purists who demand precision engineering and high-fidelity sound. While not delving into amplifiers, speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables, its turntable lineup stands out for direct-drive performance and compatibility with pro cartridges from partners like Ortofon.
Reloop holds a solid mid-tier position in the DJ and entry-level hi-fi markets, prized for reliable, performance-driven gear that balances affordability with pro-grade features. It appeals to working DJs and vinyl revivalists rather than high-end audiophiles or vintage collectors, backed by a reputation for practical innovation over boutique exclusivity.
