Pro-Ject X1 Turntable

Pro-Ject‘s classic turntable design reimagined and lifted to new price/ performance heights!

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, Pro-Ject was creating interest in analog audio at a time when others were turning their backs, and the success was down to three critical philosophies:

– Simple yet technically correct design
– High-quality valuable materials
– Fully handcrafted, expert engineering, made in the EU

There are no fancy, unnecessary 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 motor isolation: New motor suspension for better decoupling of the motor vibrations to tonearm and chassis
Better tonearm: Super stiff, perfectly damped Carbon/Alu sandwich construction
Better counterweight: New anti-resonant counterweight with TPE damper to reduce cartridge-tonearm resonance
Better speed control: A sophisticated DC/AC generator board generates clean and stable power to drive the motor
Better feet: Height adjustable, isolating Alu/TPE sandwich feet
Better cartridge: Sumiko Olympia MM cartridge pre-mounted
Better audiophile features: Aluminium tonearm base with azimuth and VTA adjustment. Stiff one-piece tonearm without a vibration causing detachable headshell. The X1‘s luxury 8 layers of painting and the hand-polished finish are 3-4 times more expensive than simple foils.
Better cable: All Pro-Ject turntables come with a high-quality phono RCA cable. The 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.
