Reloop RP-7000 MK2 Turntable Review | Tips and Tricks

[@thasco]

I can say that I bought my pair of RP7000MK2 based on your original review. No complaints had them for over a year of almost daily use and they are a solid investment.

[@137damek]

You can switch power switch off and on , and it will not kill the sound , while have plater slowing down

[@littlemimus]

hey man can you answer me a question. i have the reloop rp 7000 mk1 and im getting some crazy wow and flutter. sometimes itll go from 80.0-81.1. do you have this problem with the mk2? im looking at upgrading.

[@raulrodriguez82]

mine have been solid as well. No Issues in 2 years

[@daniellheureux4867]

I own a single RP7000MK2 Silver Edition since may 2018 and as of today, no issue, nothing to complaint about. I purchased it for the sole purpose of archiving my records collection (old school Dance / Techno from the early 90's) to digital files within a controlled environment (no dust, no smoke, no vibration, no static). For the job, I choose the Reloop Vibe cartridge which sound fantastic (Phono Output). The Reloop 7000MK2 is a very solid product, I'm very satisfied ! To be honest I though about a swap for the new Technics MK7 but its target retail price is more than twice the price of a Reloop 7000MK2 ... so unless you really want a Technics table, to me it's not worth it ...

[@user-mo9mt6yu8y]

And sound?

[@IanCassanova]

These will not disappoint! Indeed, bought a pair of these for home use and I was not disappointed. I use in DVS mode with Ortofon Digi Carts . No problem mixing four to the floor House and open format. I am not bothered about having Technics anymore these are my new replacements and at a decent price new.

[@bianchetfam7960]

Hi, how have you found the 'digital' pitch. I've heard they get out of synch so much quicker then the good old 'analog' pitch from old turntables. I'm interested to know how long the beat match stays in synch with these turntables. My old anolog pitch keeps the 2 vinyl tracks in synch for a very long time. Your thougths appreciated. Cheers

[@binarysun_]

Have the og rp7000 for years now. I like them really much. I have no problems going back and forth between these at home and the 1210/1200 in clubs. I even have to say that sometimes I wish that the 12s in front of me would transform into 7000s. The pitch is really precise and even when I DVS with them the bpm counter is way less jittery than with 12s I am recommending them to everybody basically.

[@Nobody-hc2bo]

Appreciate the input, i'm in the market for turntables and I can't justify the prices for used 1200s

[@binarysun_]

No body I also keep the torque to a value that matches the 12s. And if you crank up the torque to the max, pressing the reverse button almost instantly reverses the direction. The on/off switch is set in a little so you won’t switch it off by accident and I appreciate the second play/stop button. And one feature for the neat freak...the area under the TT is easy to clean since it is flat and only the magnet is open. Not having a ground wire makes things easier as well. The rca target lights make them replaceable which is nice. I hate when the lights burn out and cannot be replaced easily. Need more info?

[@nizzle6588]

Yes want to know what Bianchet fan wants to know too

[@binarysun_]

@@bianchetfam7960 @Nizzle I cannot really answer this. It also depends on many factors imho. From a plain technical standpoint digital is not prone to temp changes or any noise every analog circuit produces to some degree. If I really need two or more tracks to be in sync for extended periods I press the „sync“ button. If I am playing plain old vinyl I think it depends way more on your accuracy while pitching than technical issues. Also every record is warped in some way or the other even if it is ever so slightly so there goes the rest of your precision. What I can say for sure is that jitter on a 1200s is higher than on those RPs. When I play DVS, then especially in the beginning the 1200s have a jitter of up to +/-0.5%(you can see the numbers fluctuate in RB or Serato) which stabilizes a bit during the set but is never really better than +/-0.2%. Both is expected from an analog system. And if it is serviced badly or never then jitter gets worse trust me I have been there. Generally analog is inaccurate to begin with and more so when the system is not warm yet. On the RPs here I am usually within the +/-0.1% range. But tbh I never saw any of this as a mayor problem really. I played on basically everything in my active time. The worst belt driven TTS to really expensive digitals and Always made the crowd jump. Everything that is mechanical will go out of sync eventually and nobody’s „pitch feel“ is perfect. If records start to go out of sync you re-pitch. The earlier you notice the de-syncing and the better your feeling for the pitch is the less audible it is to your audience…if they notice it at all. If I need absolute precision, then I‘d use a media player and the sync feature. Vinyl is always the game of sense and feeling vs mechanical imprecision. It’s never precise in the way digital media is.

[@tonysoprano4883]

I really like the thought of these, seeing as they're quite sturdy and heavy while not having to think about buying used stuff from Technics. The only complaint I have from the get-go are the dual start/stop buttons instead of a 45 RPM hole. Reloop should have two different versions. That way, they'd cater towards hi-fi people as well who likes to use a heavy metal plinth DD turntable but not want to go through the whole vintage process. Let's hope that they change this in the future.

[@sgtcreasegrease]

I think Reloop make a version of this that's actually more so meant for hifi use. Doesn't have a pitch fader. Can totally use the 7000s for home listening though. Old music sounds really great on it.

[@user-rn9wp9kt1x]

I bought these 5 days ago. I really liked the feel of them. I like the raised platter and the smooth bottom edge, the adjustable torque, pitch return better that PLX-1000 I tested etc. I set one up and there was a hum coming through the speaker. Changed leads, run it through a phono box, amp, powered speaker, changed cartridge etc. No difference. Shop told me set the second one up as a comparison. Same problem. Took them back to the shop. Tested against a 1210 MK7 and my 1975 Technics SL1500. Both Reloops had the same hum. Both Technics were silent. Both returned and I am now awaiting some 1200 MK7 Silver. There are some threads about unshielded wires in the Reloops??

[@peacepuffz]

The silver technics are called 1200's the black one's are 1210's. I've still got my 1200 mk 2's from the 90's, amaizing decks.

[@user-rn9wp9kt1x]

@@peacepuffz Yes they are. My Mk2s are still going strong as well...only in the hands of a my friend who i sold them too in 2003! If only we could see in to the future. I checked out the black decks but didn't like the black tonearm or the black start/stop button.

[@Shmack_]

I'm using the rp-8000 mk2 with a ortofon VNL cart and the weight is hanging off the edge to the point to where I can't even get it balanced amd then it's not catching when scratching. Need to find that heavier tonearm weight you speak of. The reloop blue cartridge works fine

[@Tetrahex_uk]

Recently brought a pair of these, no complaints so far, really is a rock solid turntable. only slight complaint is knowing the wow and flutter is more than a Technics. Although in reality there is no audible difference at all.

[@leemajors1417]

How are they running now? Any reliability issues?

[@patc2060]

I had 1210s for many years, sold them sadly however gotten back into it and have picked up the limited edition set of Reloop which I must say are fabulous.. on standard needles at the moment which were supplied with them I will be upgrading them soon as I can.. that all I would say.. A Graet Table I think the New Classic.

[@claudiopolizzotto]

Best in the market in this moment! I have 2 black

[@drvo12]

Hello! Lovely video. Have you maybe tried AT Lp140x? If yes, which one would you recommend between this two? Thanks

[@D_2_da_K87]

The wow and flutter specs are actually lower than technics. 0.01 vs 0.025 however reloop has a * next to the spec stating imperfections. However the difference would be negligible bringing it to just under or technics equivalent

[@moscasucio1686]

does this pertain to the rp7000 as well

[@Djtonydraper]

Nice looking tables. Thanks for posting Mo.

[@bianchetfam7960]

Hi, please help. Technics have recently upgraded their pitch control so they're more like the old analog/Technics 1210 MK2's . Now all these new turntables, incl the 7000 MK2's are digital, which means they're never 100% and when beat matching/mixing you're always having to work the platter and pitch. Are you finding this with the 7000's. E.G when you've got both discs match, and the fader in the middle, can you leave them both playing out together for a good length of time ? Appreciated. John

[@CossRooper]

Just got one. No complaints at all so far.

[@kristian7569]

Does it come with a cartridge when you buy it or do you need to buy one seperately?

[@MilanFourTimesEight]

you need to buy separately

[@aneshas]

Hey, my two cents on the digital vs analogu pitch control - I am also on a lookout for a good set of turntables (had faulty 1210s, messed up at 120lp, and nice set of reloop 4000 - my first set and tbh I had no complaints back then). Only recently found out about digital pitch controls and saw ppl complaining and stuff bla bla - this put me off from buying the 7000 mk2. The, I dug deeper and saw that pros really have no issues with this, my doubt is that they even prefer it - for eg. I love Sven Vaeth and actually due to this digital pitch control gossip I immediately assumed he would prefer analog pitch control, but then I thought let me check... I went through a lot of his sets and really had a look and found out that dude seems to be using 1200 M5G (digital pitch) ever since they came out without any issues. I saw him use mk2 also, but this probably depends on the venue and ofc he would have no trouble using a brick. But all in all, go check for yourself if you do not believe me, m5g is really easy to spot due to the led lights and the buttons below the pitch. This put this stupid digital vs analogue discussion to rest in my head. Ofc it feels different, but the bottom line is, they both work. One other thing, a lot of ppl who complained about digital vs analogue pitch compare them head on eg. 1200 mk2 against smth digital - which when you think about it makes no god damn sense! Ofc you might have to correct the whole time bcs one is digital and the other is analogue - my guess is also that you might as well do a slight adjustment on the analogue one and they would be locked in (you might be somwhere in between the digital step) - these ppl have no idea what they are talking about tbh. So, if you have two good digital pitch control turntables of the same brand that is the only time you can make an honest comparison - bcs what I think once they get locked in they are locked in.

[@z90012]

Got this in black fantastic quality 👍😊

[@djadjacent1857]

So I just saw this video today, but I got a pair of these a couple of months ago along with some Ortofon green's and I've been good. At the time, the price was $425/each and it's hard to beat that.

[@Mojaxx]

DJ Adjacent That’s a great deal! Any Super OEM under $500 is a good score.

[@DJSoulShaker33]

Nice mixer behind you. The realistic in the blue box. Try to mix with this two reloop turntables. And without EQ. Old school. Enjoy!

[@sumguy835]

That was the very 1st mixer I had & learnt to mix/beat match with in about 1991. Would bring it half way in, or to the bass would allow, then switch them so the outgoing was half way out at the right time then fade. Would have sounded a right mess compared to today...

[@terrycard6775]

6000 series were a great table also most probably my favourite deck.

[@SlayerDarkRaver]

I agree to that. The only reason I'm looking at this is because my 2 6000s are broken after ~12 years.

[@technowoodrecords6122]

For me in this moment the best on the market !

[@frankcoffey]

Reloop needs to make clones of the 70s full automatic Technics tables. DJs already have enough manual ones. LPs are back in a big way and vintage tables are getting hard to find and expensive. SLP 1300 and 1600 or even better go quartz lock like the 1301 and 1600 mk2. All the new ones are belt drive and fully manual, that's not what most home users want.

[@donvito8652]

So ... What about vs Denon VL12? Your reviews are helpful to the DJ Community but for us Home Audio guys, we find ourselves wanting/needing evals more along sonic quality capabilities. I bought a DJ style table because of the ongoing rep of Technics SL1200. I bought my VL12 at a crazy good price of $350 ... New, sealed in box. It sounds great for listening purposes but wondering how it stands up to the others DJ tables .... replacing my Systemdelk IIX900 belt driven table. table...

[@D_2_da_K87]

Any chance of an rp4000mk2 review? This turntable spec wise beats a 1210 and comes with an ortofon needle for £250 bargain really.

[@m-stat9]

They replaced generic Super OEM tonearm with a Technics tonearm copy from Pioneer PLX-1000 and we got Mk2. If they really want to make it perfect they should get rid of extra Start button (looks stupid), bring back 7" adapter, get rid of oversized casing (shared with RP-8000 to lower the cost I guess), so we don't see this weird looking empty space on the left side of platter and make platter sunken-in like in Pioneer/Stanton ST 150 M2.

[@valentingheorghe1693]

How Reloop RP7000 MK2 would perform in a heavy bass environment? Would it resonate and feedback or not? Usually this is one of the main concerns of a DJ who intends to use a turntable in a club like environment. Another question that sometimes is ignored is about maintaining the best sound quality of the music playing. The answer to this question depends on many variables, like the following: - turntable chassis design and construction, in order to obtain the best isolation possible against vibrations - platter manufacturing method (die-casting or machining), in order to obtain the best stability, damping and wobble free rotation - the presence of a built-in integrated phono preamplifier, that can generate additional noise, due to its low quality, poor isolation or inability to apply the proper RIAA eq curve - tone arm construction and design - stylus construction, design and quality All these variables are often the result of poor quality control policies on the assembly line or the lack of interest from manufactures to invest in turntable designs and developments. Finally we have all the variables linked to turntable settings, like arm height, VTA, azimuth, zenith, etc., which affects the final sound reproduction. The turntable use for mixing require alot of attention and maintenance, in order to obtain the best sound possible, and all that attention and maintenance translate in time spent and sound quality being inconsistent most of the time. In the years preceding the introduction of digital mixing equipment, the turntable was the only equipment able to offer the possibility in to mix music, but nowadays with all the digital technology available to us in the industry, the turntable is effectively absolete until some proud manufacturer learns to improve production tolerances and until tight standards are imposed on records thickness and planeity. As for anyone who wants to learn to beat match the old school way, the presence of a turntable (with all its complications) is not a requirement. If you want to learn to beat match, simply use your ears, learn not to look at the displays and forget about the sync button.

[@joshua85100]

alright thanks for your answer! i will re-think my choices since stantons are also super-oem (i've read on a forum that they were not..) big up!

Even techies are made nowhere near their original made in place. Have you got them stanton afterall? Any regrets

[@joshua85100]

@@raven-jz6cv got a pair of reloop 6000, cheaper and same potential as those OEM we've talked above !

[@raven-jz6cv]

@@joshua85100 never like reloop. They dont hold the pitch. And in my line of fire pitch control is the main element. Techies and pioneer for that even if some say pioneer are hype reloop they arent just the motor and arm are the same the pitch internals and all the rest are pure pioneer. Stanton are stanton you cannot compare em to reloop have some respect 🤣 just because they have the same motor it dont make em the same turntable. On a side crazy note. I tried once them denon v12s prime. I got seriously impressed. They hold the pitch almost as accurate and as extend like my mk5s

[@MrBrico001]

Reloop states a wow & flutter of 0.01% which is lower than other super OEM tables and is the same as tech 1210 mk 2’s as I recall..

[@moralrevulsionLive]

They pretty much are the same. The difference is on the emotional side of mk2s. Nothing more. Have both. Almost a yr on reloops constant daily use they still never skipped a beat. Some extremely tiny hum noise sometimes but nothing someone with normal hearing will notice

[@bianchetfam7960]

@@moralrevulsionLive Hi, how have you found the 'digital' pitch. I've heard they get out of synch so much quicker then the good old 'analog' pitch from old turntables. I'm interested to know how long the beat match stays in synch with these turntables. My old anolog pitch keeps the 2 vinyl tracks in synch for a very long time. Your thougths appreciated. Cheers

[@GRBuy]

I bought this tourntable a few months ago and i'm very disappointed. I heard a lot of great opinion about RP6000 that's whay i bought Reloop. The arm of this turntable during more energetic movements jumps. And when i use the Ultra Pitch around -25% or -50% during scratching the engine stops for 2-3 seconds or speeds up. I called to service and they said that it is normal for this turntable... :D

[@GRBuy]

I am sorry. Not this one because this is MK2. I bought first edition...

Jay Werx not entirely tru, the platter and specs and the pitch fader will all still work the same way and effect the performance of phase

[@BobbyBriscoeBeats]

Warning - if you are a turtablist that does ultrapitch scratching, all of the newer super oem turntables are terrible. They have issues with the torque trying to over correct when scratching at slower speeds. I wish I had known this before I purchased mine, as I did so exactly for ultrapitch scratching. May try to get an older hanpin or a vestax.

[@anttiskate]

Can you be more specific? Does it do some weird speed-ups? I cut, so ultra pitch is a must have... I bought an RP-7000 mk2 a couple of years ago, but returned i due to the motor being buggy: it would go haywire/full speed if I rapidly tapped the start-stop button. Now I was considering trying a new one to replace my deteriorating PDX2000s. I used to own an old pair of Hanpins and was super pleased, which is why I'm interested in what went wrong...

Super OEM?? What does that mean

[@jenshoefer7944]

It's a bit of an artificial made up term which actually just used for turntables to label OEM based turntables as premium to put them in the league of the technics (basically because of all these overly obsessed and indoctrinated technics sect members who look down on OEM)...so, technically they are OEM turntables and to highlight the excellent quality the word "super" is added

[@Keyaar1978]

You say in video, that wow & flutter not as good as at Technics 1200s. So that's not a true value 0,01 % for this model? Old Technics has 0,025 WRMS. So actually reloop rp-7000 should be better at this important spec....

[@TLka2.0]

You are wrong, reloop is manipulating little bit their technical specs. 0.01 is 0.025 % W.R.M.S. which is different method of measuring. So basically on paper they should be the same but reloop has extra * saying that could be some " imperfection" reloop should provide only W.R.M.S. measurements like technics does which is " hard" way

Over the years I played on dozens of not hundreds of pairs of technics and I could use these no problem first time I set them up.

[@Blaulicht1120]

Some additional notes: the text on start/stop button is printed, so it will wash out in time. I saw it on hardly used mk1 - buttons became clear with no text. Also why i will never buy it is because of aesthetics. I reeeeally dont like this empty space on the left and platter floating over the body. Looks stupid for me.plx1000is closer to ideal, but it has round cdj button and +250eur price "because... pioneer"©
