Turntable from Pro-Ject with Ortofon 2M Silver MM cartridge. In 1991 Pro-Ject started a revolution in HiFi with the introduction of the Pro-Ject 1 turntable. A new high-end, low budget turntable at the time when CD was king. Against all odds, we were creating interest in analogue audio at a time when others were turning their backs, and the success was down to three critical philosophies: 1. Simple yet technically correct design. 2. High-quality valuable materials. 3. Fully handcrafted, expert engineers, made in the EU.

This turntable design, with our underlying core philosophy and dedication to quality music performance, has all the high-end aspects built in that really take vinyl listening to the ultimate heights. But as is the way in hi-fi many people still wanted more. They were willing to invest more, because this is how much they fell in love with their newfound passion. It is hard to improve on such a well performing turntable, but there are ways to do it. It was not time to reinvent the wheel, because the core engineering on the P1, or now the X1, already was and still is perfect. Instead we improved on the technologies that had previously been established:

The raw materials used in production are of a much higher quality but also more difficult to source. The selected components are bigger, heavier, more massive and robust for improved performance and greater build quality. More mass in the chassis, platter and tonearm. Precision tuned motor isolation. High-end Cartridge - Ortofon 2M Silver. Full aluminium tonearm base instead of a cheap plastic flange for better and stiffer fixing to the chassis with Azimuth and VTA adjustment. Height adjustable, isolating Alu/TPE sandwich feet. All our turntables come with a high-quality phono RCA cable.
