![]() One column, adorned with a detent-style fine pitch control knob, seemingly juts into the 13.8-inch-diameter platter and provides a finger rest that prevents your palm from touching the outer edge of the platter when lowering the needle to the LP. Internal wiring that employs the new-generation PC-Triple C copper conductor yields rich, dynamic, powerful sound across the entire spectrum.Īesthetically, GT-5000 remains intentionally and elegantly simple, with only three circular buttons (power, rotation, 33/45RPM speed) on the top surface. And by adopting a short double structure in which a tapered carbon outer tube gets combined with a copper-plated aluminum inner tube, the arm-tube portion achieves exceptionally high rigidity, low resonance, and outstanding noise shielding. Visually and sonically, you'll also immediately notice the mechanically and weight balanced tonearm, a design free of any ancillary mechanisms. Equally important to the operation, the platter – a double structure in which a cut aluminum main turntable (17.8 inches in diameter, 11.5 pounds) is mounted on a cut brass inner turntable (5.6 inches in diameter, 4.4 pounds) – generates a massive rotational inertia value of 0.92 t/square centimeter for extreme stability. Hence, rather than the torque of the motor, the mass of the platter stabilizes the rotation – eliminating any electrical feedback and contributing to the overall clarity. Working in absolute harmony, GT-5000's belt-drive system boasts a 24-pole, two-phase AC synchronous motor armed with a precision-based- quartz-generated sine wave for the AC power source. Co-developed by vibration-control specialists Tokkyokiki Corporation, they suppress unwanted resonance via specially tuned coil springs – leading to a rhythmic low end and supple highs that further enhance the 'table's already accurate, warm, and emotional sound. Chosen for its damping characteristics and fast transients, the high-density particle board framework is complemented by a set of high-end feet. No wonder it took a dedicated team of four core engineers – two of which were involved on the original GT-2000 – and five years to complete.įeaturing independent construction and perfectly balanced transmission in all stages, GT-5000 makes a striking appearance by way of its 21.5 x 15.6 x 4.7-inch (WDH) footprint and unmistakable platform given no less than four layers of lamination. Beginning with the colossal heavy wood cabinet and continuing through painstakingly conceived aspects such as its double-structure platter and straight, short tonearm, GT-5000 embodies and achieves one goal: Pure, musical, nature, expressive, distortion-free analog playback that leaves no detail unscathed. "Gigantic and Tremendous." In every way, the Yamaha GT-5000 flagship turntable lives up to its GT moniker – and the inspiration of the original, critically acclaimed GT model that debuted nearly 40 years ago.
