TURN 3 is a precision-engineered belt-drive record player with a heavy MDF construction and clever anti-vibration feet, which ensure a stable platform for the turntable. The sleek gloss black plinth houses a low-noise DC motor that keeps un-wanted noise and resonance to a minimum. The motor is connected to the acoustically-treated aluminium die-cast platter via a drive belt that loops around the main platter’s inner-ring. The platter then sits atop a smooth-yet-sturdy spindle system.
TURN 3 is operated by a master switch on the back panel, and a three-point speed control on top of the plinth. The controller allows for effortlessly simple switching between 33 1/3, 45 and 78rpm speeds with tight accuracy and reliable stability. Then, for further convenience, there is a switchable Semi-Automatic Auto Stop function, which allows the turntable to automatically start when the tonearm is placed in position, and stop again at the end of the record.
The straight tonearm was specially designed for TURN 3, and offers optimal tracking performance for a superior sound experience. The arm’s premium finish also complements the turntable’s quality aesthetic, while the clearly labelled counterweight and convenient anti-skate dial make set-up effortlessly simple. TURN 3 is supplied with the high-quality Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, and the use of a special curved headshell makes for easy changing between cartridges with different types of music or vinyl records (i.e. stereo or mono records).
TURN 3 is also simple to connect to any hi-fi system. The turntable is internally grounded, finished with gold-plated connectors and supplied with a set of RCA leads. Thanks to the switchable built-in Moving Magnet phono stage, the turntable can either be connected to a standard LINE or AUX input on an amplifier, or it can be upgraded with the use of an external phono stage. The additional USB output also allows for simple connection to a PC or Mac, providing a quick and easy way to transcribe your vinyl to digital audio files.
Outstanding - Amongst the Best
"With accurate RIAA equalisation and a warp filter, a good arm and great speed stability the Turn 3 came over as clear firmly timed and punchy."
TURN 3 Online Review
"The Turn 3 feels well put together and offers the aesthetic elegance of a higher end deck with a few welcome convenience features and respectable sound quality. Definitely worth an audition."
Henley Says...
The TURN series represent Reloop's foray into the HiFi world. Taking aspects and ideologies from years of experience in the DJ arena and combining them with true HiFi philosophies, the German brand have produced a series of undeniably fun and engaging turntables with distinct styling and the audiophile credentials to back them up.
When switched on, the Semi-Automatic Auto-Stop feature will start the turntable spinning once you lift the tonearm from its rest and place it over the record. Rotation speed will be controlled by the large speed controller on top of the plinth.
When a side of the record has finished playing, and you have put the tonearm back on the rest, the turntable will stop spinning. This stop process can take up-to 20 seconds, to ensure the turntable will not stop while music is still playing.
