![]() It provided bass weight, there was real punch here and a sense of impact while the mids and treble were admirable and supplied a good partnership with the lower frequencies but they couldn’t compete with the EVO. The LP5x was all about muscle on this test. The sub-platter and pulley BALANCED RESPONSE So Fluence owners can take note from these comments here too. I prefer the LP5x’s overall performance to the competing Fluance RT83, even though there’s a lot to like from the Fluance. Let’s up the ante shall we? Let’s see how the EVO handles bass and drive from a more expensive turntable, this time with a quality elliptical-stylus of the VM95E attached to Audio-Technica’s LP5x. So, the EVO looks good as an upgrade from a low-cost turntable. The precision allowed more detail to infuse the soundstage while the pace of the music picked up because that focus removed any tiny elements of drag. Overall, the EVO was far more focused while the bank of strings offered weight, they were no longer just a tone they seemed to have body now. The EVO introduced a shimmer to the bell effect, a lightness, a delicacy and again, that echo-based reverb that provided space. The RP1 tells you about a riffle of bells used as secondary percussion. The EVO tells you about its weight, the reverb that emanates from it and the bounce from the drum skin on the top. So the RP1 tells you about the deep, resonant drum at the start of the track. With the EVO, it added new sonic dimensions of realism. You could hear the rustle of the grass and the wind on your face. The RP1 showed you a photograph of the area. In short, the RP1 described all of the detail. If you’re looking to upgrade, is the EVO a viable option? Does the EVO improve overall sound and, if so, by how much? ![]() Around the £250 or lower mark, the best sounding turntable of the bunch is the Rega RP1 so I began with that. So I’m talking to owners of low-cost Fluance, Lenco and Audio-Technica designs. I wanted to test a lower-priced, yet top quality turntable to address those who might be looking to upgrade.
