Product Description

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 a 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 only down to three critical philosophies: – Simple yet technically correct design – High-quality valuable materials – Fully handcrafted expert engineers made in the EU. There are no fancy unneccassary features; it was a strictly manual turntable design and all of these decisions resulted in unbelievable sound at a fantastic price. The X1 is based on the same concept as the P1 but improved in every aspect thanks to modern materials and new production methods. Better Chassis: Heavier denser less resonating new MDF material Better Platter: Non resonating heavier Acryl platter Better Counterweight: New Anti-resonant counterweight with TPE damper to reduce cartridge-tonearm resonance Better Motor Speed Control and Electronic Speed Change: A sophisticated DC/AC generator board generates clean and stable power to drive the motor Better audiophile features: Aluminium Tonearm Base with Azimuth and VTA adjustment Better Cable: All our turntables come with a high-quality phono RCA cable. Our Connect it E is a semi-balanced low-capacitance cable with superior shielding. Compared to other digital and analog music sources the signal coming from a turntable cartridge is very fragile in nature and cheap RCA cables often do not provide the ideal conditions for getting a phono signal to an amplifier. The Connect it E is purpose-designed for this exact application.
