Analog Gear News

While it is indeed Labor Day, we here at AP have decided to recast the day under the “Labor of Love” banner so that we can take a look at some of the analog offerings from companies we didn’t get to spend much time with back at High End Munich 2024. One of those companies is Taiwanese manufacturer Zorin Audio, known for their fine lines of turntables, tonearms, and ION-generator static eliminators. Today. Today, we’ve decided to zero in on their TP-S5 turntable.

Zorin Audio labels the TP-S5 as “medium-class,” but this solid-aluminum table looks high-class all the way. The TP-S5’s platter weighs “up to” 12kg, and, as you can see from all the angles we’re showing of it here, the table can accommodate up to three tonearms.

The single-motor, belt-drive TP-S5 table boasts a magnetic floating metal axis and a full metal base, adopted with three-point foot column design. It also sports an AC synchronous motor, and offers 33⅓ and 45rpm manual playback speed switching.

Other features of the TP-S5 table include a matte finish, built-in transformer (110V, 220V; 50/60Hz), and an AC female socket with a “basic” power cord (the latter of which is replaceable).

Finally, the Zorin Audio TP-S5 turntable’s dimensions are given as 490 x 175 x 390mm (w/h/d), and its weight is 24kg.
