Quiet DC drive

The heart of the TURN 3 MK2 is a synchronous belt drive, powered by a low-vibration DC motor - motor noises are thus hardly perceptible.

Revised tonearm construction

The redesigned tonearm, especially developed for the TURN 3 MK2, offers a remarkably good tracking performance for an outstanding sound experience.

Headshell connection

The headshell connection is equipped with a GM/SME mechanism. This allows the preferred headshells and systems to be individually mounted on the tonearm.

The TURN 3 MK2 eliminates the need to change the drive belt. Depending on the choice of record, the desired speed can be conveniently set to 33, 45 or 78 RPM with the large speed control knob. Even shellac records can be played back when using a suitable pick-up system.

Semi-automatic stop

With the integrated semi-automatic control, the TURN 3 MK2 automatically stops at the end of a record. In addition, it is possible to deactivate the semi-automatic control in order to control the playback manually.

High-end pre-amplifier

Equipped with a high-end pre-amp, the Reloop TURN 3 MK2 can be easily and directly connected to an amplifier, even without a phono input. A separate pre-amplifier is thus not absolutely necessary.

Precision-manufactured die-cast aluminium turntable

The turntable of the TURN 3 MK2 is made of a heavy aluminium die-cast construction, which provides a solid and consistent rotational performance. The heavy and precise fabrication also adds additional mass, helping to eliminate unwanted resonances for the best possible acoustic results.

Anti-skating wheel

The anti-skating adjustment of the tonearm can be conveniently set via a special wheel for perfect tracking adjustment.

Gold-plated connections

The gold-plated connections guarantee purest signal transmission and ensure maximum flexibility, all cables are detachable.

Shock-absorbing feet

Decoupled, shock-absorbing feet help to prevent any unwanted vibrations and guarantee a clean audio signal.

Solid base with piano finish

The sturdy and solid MDF base, covered with a fine piano finish, ensures a detailed and warm sound image.

Immediate listening pleasure with hi-tech Ortofon cartridge

The TURN 3 MK2 is equipped with a pre-assembled, high-quality Ortofon 2M Red pick-up system.

Notes: Part of Reloop's hi-fi range, the Turn 5 is a focussed audiophile turntable. No pitch control or other DJ features here, just high-end sound quality thanks to a quartz-controlled direct drive motor and the included Ortofon 2M Red cartridge.

Supplier's notes:
Direct Drive HiFi Turntable System

With TURN 5 Reloop HiFi is launching a quartz-controlled, direct-drive turntable that meets the highest sound requirements. Using their expertise, Reloop have developed a new HiFi turntable, which with its technical sophistication is the best in its class.

Powerful DC motor & 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 & 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 & 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.

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.

Direct Drive HiFi Turntable System

With TURN 5 Reloop HiFi is launching a quartz-controlled, direct-drive turntable that meets the highest sound requirements. Using their expertise, Reloop have developed a new HiFi turntable, which with its technical sophistication is the best in its class.

Powerful DC motor & 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 & 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 & 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.

Notes: Sound meets design

The Turn 7 bridges the gap between high-end HiFi turntables and uncompromising design. The belt-driven turntable meets the exacting demands of audiophile music fans thanks to precisely manufactured components. The acrylic platter with LED lighting and the external drive belt make the Turn 7 an absolute eye-catcher.

Powerful and steady drive

A decentralised, low-vibration DC motor drives the Turn 7. The integral flat belt runs gracefully along the turntable exterior, ensuring smooth operation and a sophisticated appearance. The start/stop rotary switch allows you to select between the turntable's two speeds (33 and 45 RPM).

Heart of acrylic: The turntable platter

The acrylic platter is 20 mm thick, weighs 1.7 kg, and has outstanding evenness thanks to precision manufacturing. It also has excellent antistatic characteristics. As a result, crystal-clear audio is possible without using a platter mat. The satin finish of the material creates a focal point and contrasts with the otherwise plain design of the belt-driven turntable.

Let there be light - LEDs inside

One of the unique features of the Turn 7 is the optional, blue platter illumination. Inconspicuously placed beneath the platter, multiple LEDs with a diffuser cover sets the mood and creates a warm and inviting ambience.

Top-class tone arm

The high-quality carbon tone arm has exceptional acoustic properties. The turntable's authentic sound is brought out to its full potential by effectively cancelling out vibrations. The ability to adjust the height (vertical tracking angle - VTA) and an anti-skating adjustment ensure maximum precision.

Ortofon 2M Red pre-installed

The turntable comes with the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge system pre-installed. The Ortofon 2M Red has an elliptical stylus tip and excellent sonic characteristics, including first-rate sound accuracy and reproduction. The Ortofon 2M Red is a highly versatile cartridge system with an open, dynamic sound and warm tones. The universal headshell connection (SME) adds more options for cartridge systems.

Meticulously perfected

In addition to its high-quality preamplifier, the Turn 7 also features versatile switching between line and phono signals. The gold-plated corrosion-resistant RCA connectors ensure the best possible signal transmission. The built-in USB output allows you to digitise vinyl records.

Simple design & pure functionality

The sturdy MDF wooden plinth and height-adjustable isolator feet with aluminium surround provide effective decoupling for the turntable. The high-gloss piano lacquer is a classy contrast to the timeless minimalism while emphasising the Turn 7's superior quality.

Notes: Reloop's Turn X is a quartz-driven, high-end turntable that impresses in more ways than just its sound and premium aesthetics.

Designed with precision from the outset

The Turn X's direct-drive DC motor offers incredibly accurate and consistent speeds. The high torque ensures lightning-fast start-up times and minimal variances of just +/-0.03%. The Turn X excels when operated in full manual mode, where its electronic brake and rotary switch for smooth starting and stopping, which also doubles as a speed selector (33, 45 and 78 RPM), shine.

Balance perfection

A solid aluminium block supports the record player's precision-machined die-cast platter. Its hefty 2.1 kg, 332 mm diameter and 22.5 mm thickness ensure smooth, even movement. The damping rubber coating on the back of the turntable and the rubber mat provide excellent isolation properties and minimise vibrations.

Audiophile tonearm

The statically balanced S-shaped tonearm can be adjusted in height to change the cartridge's azimuth (the angle at which the needle approaches the record) and the record's vertical tracking angle (VTA). The tonearm design guarantees free and fluid movement and optimum cartridge performance.

Crystal clear sound quality

The Turn X has a high-quality Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge pre-installed, ensuring excellent dynamics and sound resolution to satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles. Another highlight: The universal SME connector enables a quick and easy cartridge system change if required.

Design without compromise

In addition to meeting the exacting demands of vinyl enthusiasts, the Reloop Turn X is a true visual showpiece. The record player's sleek design, sophisticated one-button control, and classy piano lacquer finish make it a real eye-catcher.

Sound and nothing but sound

The turntable's solid MDF chassis is exceptionally sturdy and robust, keeping unwanted resonances at bay from the outset. As a bonus, the Turn X is effectively decoupled thanks to the height-adjustable isolator feet.

Attention to detail

Last but not least, the Turn X features a gold-plated high-resolution phono output and a gold-plated ground connector for optimum signal transfer and corrosion resistance. Interference is reduced even further by the power switch's ultra-low noise insulation.

Notes: The streamlined hi-fi option of the new Technics SL series, based on similar technology to the SL-1200 GR model but with no pitch control, just rock solid Technics sound at a good price.

Supplier notes:
The technologies acquired through the development of the SL-1200 Series and the high-end SL-1000R model were lavishly inserted into the motor drive unit, a key part of the turntable. The motor exclusively tunes the single-rotor, coreless direct drive motor adopted by the SL-1200GR in order to read the high rotation accuracy and high-precision signals of the record. Optimal motor control is conducted for the inertial mass of the two-layer structure platter on which the vinyl record is placed with deadening rubber on the entire back surface to eliminate unwanted resonance in the aluminium die-cast platter to eliminate the rotation irregularity called cogging. The aluminium die-cast chassis is rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS mixed with glass fibre to achieve a two-layer construction. The insulator is comprised of a spring and rubber to provide optimal vibration-damping characteristics. The tonearm is a static-balance universal S-shape tonearm, another Technics tradition. By adopting a high-precision bearing using the same gimbal suspension construction and machined housing as the SL-1200 Series, high initial sensitivity is achieved. In addition, reliability has been improved by incorporating a removable power cable and gold-plated terminals, which have less sound quality degradation, for the PHONO and LINE terminals.

Complete Turntable with a Built-in Phono Equalizer and Cartridge In order to enjoy playing analogue records more comfortably, the SL-1500C features a built-in phono equalizer and bundled cartridge. There is no need to separately prepare either one, making it easy to link with a wide range of audio equipment. The shield structure of the built-in phono equalizer suppresses the effects of external noise and noise from the power supply. It is also equipped with a switch to turn the LINE output off when it is not being used. The turntable has been designed to thoroughly shut-out adverse effects to the PHONO output. The dedicated power supply for the PHONO output terminal is isolated from the power supply for the LINE output terminal, and has been designed to prioritize sound quality by minimising the wiring of the PHONO signal. The isolated terminals also prevent wiring mistakes. An Ortofon 2M RED cartridge, which is highly acclaimed as an MM cartridge, has been selected for the bundled cartridge. Combining this high-quality cartridge with the performance of the SL-1500C will maximise the sound quality of vinyl records.

When the tonearm reaches the end of the record, the Auto Lifter function automatically raises the cartridge. This prevents unnecessary wear on your valuable vinyl records and stylus. By embedding the Auto Lifter function in the base portion of the tonearm, it eliminates impacts to the tonearm. Due to a simple design that doesn't use motor power, there is no electrical or vibrational impact and it will not prevent the movement of the tonearm. In response to requests from many users regarding the Auto Lifter function, a design that prioritises sound quality was adopted. The functions required to playback records were kept to a bare minimum, achieving simple and easy-to-use operability.

The SL-1500C sports a simple design without unnecessary frills, while retaining the superb operating feel that is a Technics tradition. The attractive appearance lets you enjoy playing records to your heart's content.
