Pro-Ject Audio Systems Essential turntable
This new addition represents a remarkable entry level high end turntable, yet aesthetics, sound quality and technical perfection have not been compromised.
The resonance-free MDF platter, topped with a felt mat, is driven by a super-smooth running AC motor with a two-step pulley, via a silicon belt. Also available in a version with an integrated Moving Magnet phono pre-amplifer with Analogue-to-Digital converter and USB output, both versions of the Essential are supplied with a fitted Ortofon OMB 3E MM-cartridge. This impressive turntable stands on three cone shaped feet which act as shock absorbers. The eccentrically mounted counterweight reduces cantilever forces and dynamic wow when playing warped records, and the external power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference.
This reasonably priced turntable proves to be an impressive musical performer, enabling high quality sound reproduction and rests as an overall winner in the entry level category of manual turntables.
