The RPM 5 takes a lot of technology from its bigger brother the RPM 9 to make it a stunning sounding table. The carbon wrapped ultra low resonance carbon fiber wrapped chassis, the inverted platter with a ceramic ball bearing for low rumble, and an incredibly massive satinized acrylic platter create an acoustic powerhouse. Also using a solid piece of carbon fiber for the tonearm makes it have almost no resonance but gives ultimate flexability for an array of different cartridges. All in all an incredible table at a surprising price considering all the technology and materials used.
