TURN2

Analogue HiFi turntable for audio purists.

"The TURN X is a very reasonable best buy [...] which creates engagement and joy of listening [...] You would need to at least add a budget of 2000 to 3000 euros to have significant upgrades in sound quality from this turntable"

Stereo+ about the TURN X

TURN X

Premium Class HiFi Turntable System

  • Premium HiFi turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge

  • Super high torque direct drive motor with precision rotation

  • Extra-heavy, CNC machined 22,5 mm thick aluminium platter with rubber damping

Description

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.
