The RP-8000 is the post-controller revolution deck that people have been waiting for. It could herald a mini-revolution all of its own  the Reloop RP-8000 is currently the most interesting and capable turntable on the market - DJworx Review

The most advanced DJ turntable ever made

Upper Torque Hybrid Turntable Instrument:

With the RP-8000 MK2 we present the most advanced turntable of all time, developed in close cooperation with world leading turntablists. The RP-8000 MK2 is designed for seamless integration with Serato DJ Pro, offering the ability to control up to 7 performance modes via the pad section. Moreover, thanks to the unique Platter Play mode, the performance pads can be used to affect the platter speed to create unique melodies. The RP-8000 MK2 represents the seamless combination of first-class, professional turntable and innovative musical instrument.

Pad section with 7 New Performance Modes:

Developed for use with Serato DJ Pro the RP-8000 MK2 offers unparalleled creative possibilities in a DVS setup, thanks to the seamless plug-and-play integration. The 8 large pads with RGB illumination offer control over 7 performance modes (Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll, Slicer), as well as 2 user modes, which can be customised to your own individual preferences. Using the multi encoder it is possible to browse your music library directly from the turntable and comfortably load tracks to the respective software deck. Furthermore, the RP-8000 MK2 can communicate with any MIDI compatible DJ software – this way an additional controller for performance modes is not necessary.

Platter Play – Creative Platter Pitch Control: 

Platter Play allows you to control the platter's speed of rotation via the performance pads, thereby altering the pitch of the music, opening up new possibilities for musical live performances and turning the RP-8000 MK2 into a musical instrument. A total of 22 scales and 34 notes are at your disposal with an option to create up to 9 user-defined scales. The two speed select buttons can be used for pitch bending in Platter Play mode and also to raise or lower the musical pitch in steps of one half-tone. The platter speed can also be controlled via an external MIDI keyboard.

Powerful Motor with Extensive Adjustment Possibilities:

The fine-tuned, quartz-driven motor with digital pitch correction operates at a starting torque of 2.8kg/cm, which can be fine-adjusted up to a maximum of 4.5kg/cm. The motor brake speed (platter stop) can be adjusted from 0.2 – 6 seconds and the precision-machined, heavy die-cast aluminium platter is lined with vibration reducing rubber to add weight and eliminate unwanted resonance.

Balanced S-Shaped Tone Arm with Upgraded Tone Arm Base:

The RP-8000 MK2 features a statically balanced S-shaped tone arm with hydraulic lift and anti-skating mechanism. The newly developed tone arm base provides improved stability and adjustable height/vertical tracking angle (VTA). The low-resonance tone arm comes with a universal connection for pick-up cartridge systems (SME).High-Resolution Pitch Section with Digital Fader:Using the high-resolution pitch fader you can adjust the platter speed in the classic turntable pitch range +/-8%. However, the RP-8000 MK2 is also cable of a wider, DJ-friendly +/- 16% pitch range and a massive +/-50% ultra-pitch. This allows for increased creativity when modulating the playing record's tone. If quartz lock is active, the platter speed will remain unaffected by the fader position and will spin at zero pitch (0%).

Fully equipped – Real Time LCD Display, Reverse Function and Smart USB Connection:

Besides all creative improvements, the RP-8000 MK2 has everything a DJ turntable should be equipped with. A digital LCD display shows information regarding pitch, BPM, deck assignment, scales and notes, elapsed/remaining time of current track as well as firmware settings. In Serato DJ Pro it is possible, for example, to show the current BPM value of a track, in order to exactly match your tracks without the need to take a look at your computer monitor. The smart USB connection is especially sophisticated as you can link together up to 4 RP-8000 MK2 turntables. The single units assign themselves to a software deck automatically, so that only one turntable has to be connected to a computer via USB. The newly developed aluminium LED target light in unibody design is freely moveable to help you find the stylus position in dark surroundings. The target light is also removable and easily exchanged. By using the buttons on the RP-8000 MK2's top panel, you can switch between the three motor speeds (33 1/3, 45 & 78 rpm). Dedicated buttons for forward and reverse mode allow for further creativity in your mix.

High-Quality Connections and Integrated Phono Pre-Amp:

Thanks to the recessed rear connection panel, the RP-8000 MK2 can easily be mounted in a flight case and seamlessly positioned next to other DJ gear in standard or battle formation. By using the second RCA output, a single turntable can be connected to 2 mixers simultaneously, also allowing an easy switch from DVS to vinyl. An optional ground terminal offers additional protection in club environments. All cable connections (RCA/mains) are detachable and easy to exchange, which also helps with transport and storage.

Sturdy Casing Construction:

By using a combination of metal, rubber and synthetic materials, the RP-8000 MK2's housing is more reinforced and heavy than ever before. This results in a turntable that is extremely resistant to vibrations that can be caused by heavy bass sounds in DJ booths and its shock-absorbing feet help to further improve isolation. The surface is coated with a scratch-resistant high-quality deep black metalic finish.

RPM 9 Carbon: with Dust Cover

( Special Package Offer with Pro-Ject Pick-it DS2 Cartridge Moving Coil MC )

The Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon continues the brand’s outstanding run of sonic and technical improvements in affordable vinyl playback. In fact, throughout my evaluation it never seemed out of its league, even facing the heady heights of upper-crust setups, including my own much pricier kit. Interested parties should also know that the RPM 9 Carbon is a worthy addition for the long term—it’s got enough resolution and sheer musicality to ensure that audio upgrades elsewhere in the chain can be confidently purchased without fear of outdating the Pro-Ject. Without qualification, the RPM 9 Carbon is a terrific package, certain to give a great many lucky owners years of vinyl-spinning thrills -Neil Gader The Absolute Sound 

 

“…if you’re shelling out this sort of cash for a turntable and tonearm you want it to perform exceptionally well and here the decks doesn’t disappoint either. The Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon turns in a highly polished performance with every bit of vinyl placed onto its sumptuous platter, and is one deck I’ll be very sad to say goodbye to.” 5 Stars Hifi Choice

 

The Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon, with its d 9cc tonearm, proved themselves to be worthy of praise on multiple fronts. This is a unique, and aesthetically-pleasing turntable design rooted in long-term research & development toward producing compelling, musical, and dignified playback, keeping pace (rhythm, and timing) makes this combination a thought-provoking musical companion – albeit more cerebral, than brawny – for those interested in a long-haul analog relationship- .Partimeaudiophile Review

If there was a system that could show up the Pro-Ject as a playback poseur it was the one it faced during this evaluation. One of the highest-resolution setups I’ve had in my room recently, it was composed of the Parasound JC 3+ phonostage, the Classé CP-800 preamp, CA-D200 amplifier, and TAD CE-1 loudspeakers (review forthcoming). Synergistic Research supplied its all-new Atmosphere Level 4 cabling (with red tuning modules). My own LP setup is the Sota Cosmos vacuum-hold-down ’table with SME V tonearm, Sumiko Palo Santos Presentation cartridge, and Audience Au24SE phono cable.

 

Just prior to actually dropping the stylus onto a record for the first time I have a particular (some might say peculiar) habit reserved for turntable evaluations. Given that they are the only components (excepting reel-to-reel) in audio chains with mostly visible, mechanically operated systems, I like to sit back and observe the ’table and tonearm behavior—the quality and control of its operation. How fluid and stable is the ’table in full motion? Does the platter/mat waver during rotation? Is there any vibrational noise, or motor noise? Long story short, the system should present a platform so placid and stable that at a glance the stylus/groove interface should appear as if there is nothing moving at all—frozen in time like a still photo. The RPM 9 Carbon passed this initial test so impressively it looked as if it were unplugged.

The sonic performance of the RPM 9 Carbon is devilishly good. Backgrounds are jet black and softly tinted to the warmer end of the tonal spectrum. Its character is one of overarching balance across all criteria, a trait that makes LP reproduction sound elegantly composed and well nigh effortless. Imaging and soundstage stability are excellent with a wide comfortable spread of images across the stage. String sections, winds, brass are all nicely differentiated from another and there’s little to no image smearing.

On the classic Reference Recordings LP Nojima Plays Liszt my ears instantly go on red alert. If there is any hint of pitch instability or tonal warble it’s going to raise its head during this recording’s quietest passages—especially on long, sustained single notes. The Pro-Ject was rock-solid at these moments, each note decaying unwaveringly into the deepest corners of the soundspace. Presto arpeggios were liquid and articulate, as well. Plus, there was an impressive sense of air and lift in the upper octaves. And equally and literally striking were the artist’s percussive keyboard stabs, which were deep and authoritative. As these aggressively played passages built in intensity, the harmonic aura enveloping the soundboard and rippling the air around the concert grand was superb.

When evaluating turntables I invariably return to the deep, widely spaced grooves of twelve-inch 45rpm pop remixes. They’ve been re-engineered and cut for maximum effect on the dance floor, and are usually overflowing with bass information and mixing board trickery. Although these can be a bear for cartridges to track I’m still amazed at the delights and oddities that I continue to discover in these old pressings—and way long after assuming I’d extracted every sonic treasure. Take for example, Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long” (I hear groans). The depth and detail in this recording have evolved steadily upward with the improvements in LP playback equipment. In the case of the RPM 9 Carbon it was all about the detail exhibited from the dense crowd of background partyers. There was enough specificity and transient snap that I was ready to do a head count. (And then go find the party’s bartender.) The vibes solo was also richer harmonically, more stable and articulate. And the blazing horn section could now be broken down into individual instruments, not just white sheets of sound. Similarly David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance,” the Nile Rodgers-produced twelve-inch remix, sent chills down my spine with its percussive energy, smirking sax-play, and every searing note that exploded forth during Stevie Ray Vaughan’s famous guitar solo. 

Another example was Joan Baez’s cover of “Let it Be” from her live concert LP Diamonds and Rust in the Bullring, a wonderful remastering and pressing from Analogue Productions. Accompanied by the gospel-inflected piano, organ, and backing chorus, this was the sort of emotionally open performance so filled with artistic conviction that I was whisked into the appreciative audience, where the sense of the live event was evident in the ambient immersiveness of the recording and the assuredness of Baez’s terrific pitch control and lively vibrato.

There are no blatant weaknesses to this turntable, rather just some very minor subtractions. In subtler ways it lacks the final level of dark harmonic ripeness in the lower octaves of certain super-’tables. The palpability and the full palette of dynamic action and tonal color during Stravinsky’s Pulcinella [Argo] seemed slightly attenuated. The low-level resolving power that finds spaces between notes was more apparent on my own front end. Finally, I could spot some general soundstage foreshortening and a modest hint of treble constriction from orchestral strings, cymbals, and tams, but to be fair, the choice of cartridge needs to be factored into this impression at least as much as the turntable/tonearm combination. Probably more. The Blue Point Special is a good one and a good value, but to be fair it’s no Palo Santos Presentation.

The Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon continues the brand’s outstanding run of sonic and technical improvements in affordable vinyl playback. In fact, throughout my evaluation it never seemed out of its league, even facing the heady heights of upper-crust setups, including my own much pricier kit. Interested parties should also know that the RPM 9 Carbon is a worthy addition for the long term—it’s got enough resolution and sheer musicality to ensure that audio upgrades elsewhere in the chain can be confidently purchased without fear of outdating the Pro-Ject. Without qualification, the RPM 9 Carbon is a terrific package, certain to give a great many lucky owners years of vinyl-spinning thrills. Neil Gader The Absolute Sound July 2015

Luxury high-end turntable with iconic "frame" design

Simple to set-up and use, so you can just focus on the music
Premium tonearm finished with an Ortofon Quintet Red MC cartridge

View image on Twitter

The Classic Evo utilises a simple and elegant “frame” design, which bears a notable resemblance to some of the most famous turntables of the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s. But the design is more than just aesthetically pleasing, it also combines proven hi-fi technologies with the ‘simple to set-up and own’ principles associated with Pro-Ject turntables, so you can just focus on enjoying your music.

The improved two-plinth design utilises Thermo Plastic Elastomers (TPE) to isolate the metal-finished inner-chassis, rather than the traditional method of a spring-loaded sub-chassis, but this construction effectively decouples the motor from the main bearing and the tonearm, reducing unwanted interference between the components.

The idea of reduced resonance transference in The Classic Evo carries through to the platter configuration. The heavy main platter is machined from a special aluminium alloy, which is lined with TPE damping, while the new sub-platter is diamond-cut from the same metal for absolute accuracy and reliability in production. This new system adds greater mass over previous The Classic designs, and works to far finer tolerances. When mounted in the steel/bronze main bearing with Teflon lining, the end result is an ultra-silent, stable playback platform with minimal bearing noise.

For the highest performance in use, the platter system is belt-driven by a premium AC drive motor, which is powered by a DC/AC generator board for minimal noise and interference from unclean power supplies. For added convenience, there is also a simple speed control switch on the top surface of the inner plinth, allowing for quick and easy switching between 33 and 45 RPM playback speed.

The Classic Evo retains the specially designed tonearm from the original The Classic model. The one-piece conical tonearm tube is made from aluminium, wrapped in carbon fibre – creating a tube that’s both light and very stiff, with excellent resistance to unwanted vibrations and interference. This tube is controlled by a special bearing assembly, taken directly from Pro-Ject’s superior Evolution Tonearm range, for absolute freedom in its movement across the horizontal and vertical plains. The striking nickel-finished counterweight is also TPE-damped, reducing the amplitude of the tonearm’s resonant-frequency by 50%. Finally, the tonearm also benefits from the usual azimuth and VTA-adjustments associated with all high-end Pro-Ject tonearms.

The Classic Evo is supplied as standard with the popular Ortofon Quintet Red Moving Coil (MC) cartridge. The Quintet Red is a solid, all-round performer, and allows The Classic Evo to perform to a high standard straight out of the box. The Classic Evo is also optionally available to special order without a pre-fitted cartridge.

The Classic Evo includes a set of four height-adjustable dampened feet, a part of Connect-IT E phono RCA cables (specially developed for use with turntable systems) and a removable dust cover. It’s available in Eucalyptus or Walnut veneer finish. It is supplied as standard with all necessary set-up tools, a fitted dust cover and Pro-Ject’s specially-developed Connect-IT E turntable cables.

The Classic Evo retains all the strong points of the original design, and improves in certain areas to create a better experience than ever before. The sound is exciting and engaging, the design is breath-taking, the technology is first-class, and the product is accessible to any type of music lover.

Incredibly, the RPM 5 Carbon/9cc Evolution – something of a bargain, considering the tonearm fitted – is being offered with the Quintet Black for a saving of over £200. 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

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

.Pro-Ject 9cc Evoulution Carbon-Fiber Tonearm

The custom Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm and arm tube are fashioned from a single piece of carbon-fiber. The conical carbon-fiber arm tube resists standing wave reflections for cleaner sound. The inverted tonearm bearing comprises four hardened stainless tips in ABEC7 spec ball races. Rings provide very solid arm bearing housings. The outside ring is open to avoid resonances.

Adjustability features ensure the best possible playback. The design of counterweight effectively counteracts unwanted resonances. The counterweight shaft lowered to the record level reduces cantilever forces and dynamic wow when playing warped records. The solid arm base permits accurate height adjustment of the arm tube and VTA (vertical tracking angle). The included counterweight is suitable for cartridges weighing between 6 and 10 grams. The single-screw attachment of the arm tube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite the fixed headshell.

The internal wiring consists of flexible high-purity copper from the headshell right through to the gold-plated phono jacks. The silicone-damped arm lift can be adjusted to suit the working height of the arm.

Pro-Ject 6 Perspex SB Turntable

Product no.: PROJ6PER
£1,799.00
Price includes VAT, plus delivery
Available delivery methods: UK Tracked with Signature, Airmail Standard, UK Express, Airmail Tracked with Signature, UK Standard, Heavy Item

( Supplied with Ortofon 2M Blue )

The Pro-Ject 6 Perspex is a stunning deck, utilising the best of many years of ground-breaking research carried out by Pro-Ject Audio Systems. 

 
'Highly Commended' by Hi-Fi News.
 
Good Enough to challenge the very best at this price level Awarded 5 Stars in What Hi-Fi?

For the money, the 6 Perspex SB is a truly impressive record player in both looks and sound. Sure, the Rega RP8 digs out a little more detail, but it offers less sonic depth and breadth, and costs £300 more. There are a couple of design elements that could do with a tweak, but overall this is a complete and hugely desirable package.Looks amazing, sounds amazing, and costs less than you’d think – a true hi-fi bargain. Editors Choice 5/5 Trustedreviews.

I found that the 6Perspex turntable will allow an accomplished system to reach a high level of performance – a level of performance beyond normal expectations considering the 6Perspex’s very reasonable price. So if you are looking for a table that is solidly put together, capable of clean and honest sound that won’t break the bank, then you owe it to yourself to give the 6Perspex table an audition. You may find its advanced design which includes a magnetic sub chassis support, the generous use of sorbothane, a high quality motor and a modern tonearm provides just the right mix of performance virtues to meet your needs.- Hometheatrehifi 

The resonance-optimised platter is a sandwich construction utilising a fine-balanced medium density fibre platter weighing 2Kg and a 4mm thick flat-ground layer of vinyl and a screw-down metal record clamp.

Pro-Ject VT-E BT Bluetooth Vertical Turntable - Wall or Table Mounted

£449.00
Price includes VAT, plus delivery
Available delivery methods: UK Tracked with Signature, Airmail Standard, UK Express, Airmail Tracked with Signature, UK Standard, Heavy Item

The VT-E BT is Pro-Ject’s first ever vertical turntable with phono stage and bluetooth transmitter. Its innovative design makes it a unique offering in the market. Not only can it be installed easily on a desktop or a wall, but VT-E BT is also available in three different finishes and looks like nothing else you've seen before.

The VT-E BT is based on the popular Elemental turntable, which has won plaudits around the world for its great sound and affordable price. Like the Elemental, the VT-E BT has a pre-set tonearm and cartridge, so all you need to do to get spinning is install the belt and platter, then plug it into your turntable-ready hi-fi system. Turntable set-up does not need to be complicated or arduous, and VT-E BT proves that. 

The plinth and platter are made from acoustically neutral medium-density fibreboard, and the supplied record clamp ensures the record does not slip on the spindle during playback. When mounting on a desk, the supplied feet and back-support create a sturdy tripod that isolates well from external vibrations. Alternatively when mounting on a wall the supplied mounting kit ensures a reliable fixing to the wall’s surface.

The VT-E BT’s motor is the same proven design as found in other Pro-Ject turntables, and boasts a built-in AC generator for reliable speed stability and minimal noise. The tonearm is the same aluminium design found on the Elemental, but its specially-designed spring mechanism allows for accurate tracking of the record, even though it’s being played vertically. The VT-E BT is equipped with an integrated switchable phonostage and bluetooth transmitter offering flexibility for wired or wireless play back of your vinyl records. 

The VT-E BT is available in gloss black, red or white finish, and is supplied with all required accessories.

Please Note: The VT-E BT L (left-handed version) is also  available to  order.

..Take your listening to the next level

The philosophy of Torqueo Audio is to consider the record player a musical instrument, therefore, our principle is simple: “Harmonise material and technique” In fact, the mix of materials and architecture, combined with technical criteria, creates the desired sound result. Our aim is to gives the listener the emotional content of music, rejecting the current Hi-End trends that mortify the musicality of the sound message. It will never be the right sound if you first used to hear good live music. But it’s only few people who have this opportunity . Often you accept the convenience of digital instead of looking for the quality of the original recording. When we make a turntable, we want it sounds in an extraordinary way. This is not about an insane passion for the ‘hi-fi: it’s about getting closer to what musicians express during the recordings.

 Mechanics: the design of the mechanisms is the result of a 3-year study and scrupulous tests. All the mechanical and structural parts are fruit of CAD design and realised in Bronze (Gunmetal),  AISI 316 non-magnetic stainless steel, brass for musical instruments CuZn19Sn, top quality aluminium alloy (ergal), processed with CNC machines and very low tolerance laser.

The precise calibration of all the components allows obtaining very high movement precision and absolute noiselessness.
The mechanical rotation system is the heart of each turntable.
Listen to music from a vinyl record that runs on an ordinary mechanical, or listen this to adisc rotating on a strictly mechanical components made without compromise and with high precision motors, are without any doubts two different experiences.
We need an extraordinary mechanical to return to extraordinary performance of excellent musicians.

 NOS Motors: all the motors are subject to accurate inspection and cleaning, with complete disassembling of each single mechanical and electric part and replacement of worn or dead parts if necessary.
New production motors: We use rotating stator oversized synchronous motors (external), therefore of very high precision and stability, additionally improved with ultra-silent bearings with polyamide cages.

The motor/condenser coupling is carried out using the stethoscope, in fact, the phase shifter capacitor must be absolutely precise, and therefore, many must be tested until the complete absence of noise and vibrations is achieved.

Plinth: maximum importance is given to the structural aspects of our plinths.
The aim is to model the resonance with the suppression of undesired vibrations without altering or mortifying the harmonic richness of analogue reproduction, getting a more organic and realistic sound.
This occurs by using various types of very hard natural (Ipè Lapacho/Ironwood) and composite wood (Finlandian Plywood) combined with metal parts and viscoelastic materials of different hardness.

Each piece is handcrafted by experienced master carpenters, using top cabinet-making techniques.
In the models with natural wood, the lute manufacturing finishing techniques are used.
Apart from the technical/musical and aesthetic aspects, our plinths are built to remain stable over the years.

Universal mounting system for arms: our system allows to get a fine adjustment of kinematics (arm-mechanical coupling). The solid anchor with anti-resonant system is made through the combined use of various metals: bronze, steel, brass, CNC, in according to Mr. Ikeda’s philosophy.

Oscar and Davide Di Tillio design and build their beautiful  turntables in Pescara, Italy. Artisanal approach to creating a modern turntable on the idler-drive principle featuring noble materials, CAD design with precision tolerances, and traditional cabinetry methods. All tables are built around the same motor/drive design save the B-12GH Exclusive which adds 78 rpm and a slightly different control linkage. Tables are made in a full size plinth design with integrated tonearm base and some models can be ordered as a compact plinth (designated ‘C’) that is designed to use the outboard Pilastro tonearm base(s).
