  • Great Sound. Much better than a CD
Came packaged very good and set-up was super easy. Haven't had a turntable in 30 years but the sound of this is awesome. No hum no distortion, everything sounds great, crisp and clean

  • More cons than pros
Pros: sleek minimal design, space saver, good sumiko cartridge. Cons: dust magnet, humming issue, decoupled motor is loud and rumbles, tone arm vibrates, felt mat is cheap and no dust cover. Will be sending it back for a refund. I still have my trusty dandy Project Essential II NO HUMMING NO RUMBLE looking for an upgrade Project debut carbon DC .. humming .

  • Great Value
Excellent TT - love the look and performance (especially after installing an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge).

  • A lot of work involved
I want to start this review by stating that I did not buy this turntable from Amazon. I purchased it from a local record shop. The reason I am taking the time to review the turntable is because I want to expand on what some others have included in their reviews. That being, this has decent bones but, it takes a lot to make it close to audiophile quality. I bought this turntable because, I recently got back into one of my passions; that being listening to good music on a good hi-fi. I won't go into all of the equipment I have recently purchased or am in the process of restoring but suffice it to say, I have spent some cash and time (happily) putting together a good sounding set-up. Part of my system includes this RPM 1. First, the bad: My impression of the turntable was less than positive. The motor rumbled. I got some feedback while playing at comfortable, yet spirited, listening levels. (Around 85 dB) The turntable's base transmitted every light ambient disruption, especially when I walked anywhere near my stand. The Sumiko Pearl cartridge that came mounted on the arm was flat and completely uninspiring. Actually, the cartridge is horrible. (No offense to those who seem to love this thing.) Secondly; how I believe I improved it: 1. I built a two-inch thick, vertical grain, twelve-pound pine base to set the unit on. 2. I purchased soft silicon discs to place under the included metal spike protectors. I set the turntable base on them. 3. I purchased four silicon speaker isolation pads to place under the base I made. 4. I cut some soft silicon mat to make a disc to set under the motor. (This also serves to keep the belt centered on the platter.) 5. I purchased a silicon platter mat to replace the thin felt pad that came with the unit. 6. I purchased a 1.25-pound stabilizer weight record clamp from Record Happy on Amazon. 7. Like many others, I purchased and installed a Otofon M2 Blue cartridge. Thirdly; the results: The turntable is now about 95%. I consider this a success because I rate the stock unit at about 45%. The motor rumble is still slightly detectable but, not when music is playing. The ambient disturbance is basically gone. There is still some hum when I turn up the volume when not playing a record but this could be from the sub-par Pro-Ject Phono Preamp I purchased. The Otofon 2M Blue is fantastic for the price and I couldn't recommend it more! Why did I not return the turntable, you ask? Because, I believe the RPM 1 has a good platform but simply needs some modifications. Also, I enjoy fixing things and working with my hands. I looked at this as a challenge. With the time involved and the accessories purchased, this is no longer a $500 turntable but, it now sounds like a $2,000 turntable so, I feel good about that. ... show more

  • Interesitng Design with Good Sound, but ...
I had this player for about two months with the Pearl cartridge hooked up to Cambridge 551P and Marantz receiver. It was a nice record player, and I did enjoy the S-Shaped arm and the warm sound of the Sumiko Pearl. However, as other reviewers already mentioned the dust in an issue. It was also very sensitive to shakes and small vibrations. I placed this inside my AV cabinet, and every time I closed the door, the record would've skipped. It wasn't also very forgiving with slightly warped records, maybe because of the way the platter rotates in this model. I ended up upgrading to Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB with the internal switch box and the acrylic platter. I get less skips now, but the incredibly bright Ortofon 2M Red cartridge requires some time to get used to. Esprit doesn't look as cool as RPM either, so I guess I have to keep looking for the best table. ... show more

  • Excellent turntable after a few tweaks
The Project RPM 1 carbon is a great turntable after a few modifications, its better considered the barebones PROJECT (pun intended :) ) I "improved" it with a plexiglass plinth mounted on vibrapods (total 50 dollars) and swiped the so-so Sumiko Pearl cartridge for an extraordinary Ortofon 2m black. With those 2 tweaks its been transformed from a cheap entry level turntable to a true audiophile grade component that looks great and costs a fraction of other audiophile grade platters. If you don't mind tinkering a little bit this is a good foundation for an A grade component. ... show more
