Raspberry Beret is one of a whole stack of reissued Prince vinyl that’s come from Warner Music this year.
#Clipmate lp5 error archive#
So, for latter-day audiophiles, a brand-new reissue of the 12″ of Prince’s Raspberry Beret and for archive rippers, a very well-loved (ie, tremendously scratched and crackly) original edition of Stevie Wonder’s Hotter Than July, aka ‘The One With Happy Birthday’. The two test discs we used for this review couldn’t have been been more different and were plucked from the Long Live Vinyl office collection, with the LP5’s two main uses in mind. They’re very similar price-wise and, for a comparison to other vendors, this deck sits right between Rega’s Planar 1 and Planar 2. It’s an interesting stay-at-home dad, compared to the refusing-to-grow-up uncle that is Audio-Technica’s more DJ-focused AT-LP120. I dispensed with the included-as-standard Perspex cover and instantly found this to be a reassuringly heavy, nicely engineered deck.
When I tried to replicate the sound when going inland on another of the test discs, it was, of course, entirely absent. One thing I did notice, though, was that it is quite a microphonic deck, so it amplified my (rather less than gentle, I have to admit) thudding of the arm lever when I lowered the tonearm down to play my first test disc: though it has to be said that the volume was up very high and it was noticeable only on the intro’s silent grooves. With a firm twist of the start/stop knob, the turntable was up to speed almost straight away. The first thing that struck me about this deck was the high torque of the drive belt. We used the Rega amp to test the Planar 3 turntable in Issue 2, but this time, I took a moment to sit back and use a feature I overlooked last timeand enjoy the remote control to trigger its powered, motor-driven volume knob. Likewise, rather than listening back through computer speakers or headphones, we treated it to some very complementary speakers in the form of a pair of Classic 2s from the team at Essen’s ALR Jordan – and these were given some room to breathe viaa pair of very striking RS 203 stands by Custom Design.
Outweighing the turntable on price (it comes in at £598), the Brio 3 put this deck on the highest sonic pedestal available – clearly a far cry from simply plugging the USB output into your laptop. To put the LP5 through its paces, we combined it with a tried-and-tested amp, the Brio 3 from Rega. With a reassuringly minimalist design (and a nice, thick 5mm composite rubber mat), 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds are selected with a combined power/stop knob on the front left. It’s a direct-drive turntable with a cast-aluminium platter and comes ready-fitted with the AT95EX Dual Moving Magnet cartridge (available exclusively on this model) mounted on a lightweight headshell, the AT-HS10, with its very fetching gold-plated connections. The AT-LP5 has a J-shaped tonearm (far more adept than a straight arm at reducing tracking errors, it’s claimed) and outputs either via phono, line stereo or USB.
