The Onkyo CP-1050 is a direct-drive turntable designed for vinyl enthusiasts. It features a smooth low-torque direct-drive motor which helps in maintaining stable speeds and reducing vibration. The turntable includes a die-cast 12-inch aluminum platter with a quartz-lock control, ensuring precise playback. The construction consists of a solid anti-vibration MDF cabinet which is finished in black wood grain, contributing to both aesthetics and sound quality. The signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 60 dB, indicating a quiet operation. The tonearm is an 'S' design, measuring 230 mm, equipped with well-executed bearings for smooth tracking. It comes with a pre-installed Audio-Technica cartridge, though many users consider upgrading it for better performance. Notably, the CP-1050 lacks a built-in phono preamp, necessitating an additional unit to connect it to amplifiers. The offered speeds are standard 33.3 and 45 RPM. Other features include height-adjustable anti-resonant legs, gold-plated RCA connectors for reliable signal transfer, a removable power cord, and an acrylic dust cover. The CP-1050 has been praised for its build quality, sound fidelity, and design, similar to classic turntables from brands like Technics and Thorens, while also providing customization opportunities through interchangeable cartridges.
