The entry into the RPM world
RPM 1 Carbon utilises a lot of innovations and enhancements: A low resonance chassis holds a newly designed inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for further reduced rumble. An outboard 15V AC motor is smoothly driven using an ultra-precision AC generator with DC power supply for further enhanced speed stability. A completely new designed S-shaped tonearm tube is made from carbon fibre, aluminium and resin. Using a complex 3-step process with heat treatment and 100 bar pressure, the arm tube rigidity is strenghtened, internal damping is maximized and resonances are reduced to a minimum. This makes the tonearm also suitable for MC cartridges. Additional features are a new magnetic antiskating mechanism and a TPE-damped counterweight.
The RPM 1 Carbon is available with or without Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. A super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance Pro-Ject Connect it E phono cable is included.
I got this as a replacement for a 10 year old oppo. This is my first foray into the world of 4k. I only have Oppenheimer and Top Gun Maverick in 4k and they both look and sound good. It is also great with cds and sacds. This player doesn't get much love on the web and I have no idea why. I've had it for 4 months now and it is a solid performer.
I'm very happy with my new Cambridge Audio AXA25 - Integrated Amplifier which I purchased from E-Piphany. Enjoying the crisp clean audio music while working from home. Will definitely recommend it.
Thank you E-piphany for the big discount and the excellent service.
GMI BD S200 - Blu-ray Player - an easy to set up and use device
Setting up the GMI was relatively easy. It preforms as expected. Connectivity options are limited, and my Samsung smart TV did not recognise the brand for universal remote usage. Other than that it seems to be a solid budget player.
