Incredibly, the RPM 5 Carbon/9cc Evolution – something of a bargain, considering the tonearm fitted – is being offered with ta MC . It’s almost as if the turntable part of the package was being given away!” HiFi World

I finished up with an Opus 3 recording, cut in Sweden, with tracks that in turn highlight a jazz ensemble, a symphonic band, folk music, classical guitar, recorder, harpsichord, cello, pan pipes, banjo, contrabass and percussion. In sum the tracks revealed the exceptional bandwidth, the accurate tonal response and the superior transient performance, right down to the clicking of the valves with brass instruments. Sensational! This is a superb package from Pro-Ject. Not only do you get a great turntable in the RPM5 but also a truly exceptional tonearm in the shape of the Pro-Ject Carbon. AV Hub

RPM5 Carbon stands out not only by its appeal but also with its performance. It offers, especially in the mid-band, a combination of highly resolving and vibrant sound. All records sound good with it, which makes it a true all-rounder. RPM5 Carbon is the model with best price/performance ration. And it looks great in 'Ferrari red”! LED this might be a turntable for many years - Hi Fidelity

The Pro-Ject RPM 5 is more than just a pretty face, although it certainly is attractive. The rectangular chasis of old has gone, replaced by the more modern and more minimal curvatious 'drop-form' design.

It's not just the aesthetics that Pro-Ject have improved. The two-step pulley drive is quieter than ever thanks to the revised AC motor, which is decoupled from the plinth to further reduce vibration transmission.

The resonance-optimised platter is a sandwich construction utilising the hub, a medium density fibre platter, cork mat and a screw-down record clamp (standard mat also provided). This platter's low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a Teflon bearing plate in a sintered bronze bearing housing, with the main bearing dampened by a central metal block giving optimum centre of gravity.

Standing proud as the centrepiece of this beautiful turntable is the headshell and armtube unit, fashioned from a single piece of lightweight carbon-fibre. The solid armbase allows for accurate height adjustment of needle azimuth despite the fixed headshell, whilst the armlift itself is silicone damped and can also be adjusted to suit the working height of the arm.

On the inside, flexible high-purity copper wire is utilised from the headshell right through the gold plated phono sockets.

In short, the Pro-Ject RPM 5 is an attractive player, made from quality materials that's capable of fine tuning to your audio needs
