Gift Guide - High-End Audio Gifts
↳ Official Collaboration With Guitar Manufacturer, Beautiful Finish
↳ Retro-Modern Design Inspired By 60/70's Hi-Fi
↳ High-End, Upgrade Model of the SL-1200
👉 The Iconic DJ turntable gets upgraded with improved motor + higher-end materials. Suitable for both hi-fi listening + DJing
↳ Top Of The Line Powered Model with Wireless, $2500 Range
👉 If you want the best, go for the the LS50. Like the LSX II, the LS50 offers the full array of features and connectivity, but boasts a staggering 760W of power for fully immersive sound.
↳ Classic UK Hi-Fi Modernized, Stands Included
↳ Pro-Ject design innovation
👉 If you're in this price point, you want something that both stands out and also sounds incredible. The RPM series features innovative visual design with mechanics to match.
The RPM's motor is outboard, meaning it's not connected to the body of the turntable (it actually sits on its own, connected by the belt only). This greatly reduces unwanted motor vibrations on the surface of the record. The RPM 5 series not only features 9" carbon fiber tonearm, the entire body is wrapped in carbon fiber (a proven anti-resonant material). The Amethyst is one of the best Sumiko cartridges on the market ($599 on its own). Amongst Pro-Ject insiders, the RPM series is the audiophile's choice.

↳ Ready to play official Pro-Ject Package In Multiple Colorways
👉 Configured by Pro-Ject, this bundle pairs a Debut Carbon Evo with a Pro-Ject integrated amp and passive speakers. We recommend a passive system like this for sound quality; and there's also a Bluetooth input on the amp for streaming.
↳ Frosted Acrylic Design, Exceptional Value at $1800
👉 This highly-rated turntable comes with a $1100 Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony cartridge which alone makes this an incredible value. The 9.4" tonearm is something you'd find on much higher priced models as well. The anti-resonance acrylic construction is both gorgeous and functional. Dustcover is sold separately, some assembly required, and this requires an external preamp.
↳ Cult-Classic Amplifier For The Vinyl Purist
↳ High-End Entry Point Package, $1700 Range
👉 The Technics SL-1500C is the hi-fi listening version of the classic SL-1200 turntable. It's the first turntable we recommend in this price range ($1300 on its own.) The Edifier Airpulse feature a true premium build from the cabinets to the wiring and are Hi-Res certified with Bluetooth 5.0.
↳ High-End Acrylic Design At Approachable Price Point
👉 Pro-Ject's foray into true balanced audio meets their iconic acrylic body design. The aluminum platter + tonearm (adjustable) and balanced MM cartridge + output combine with the resonance dampening body & feet to offer a crystal clear signal near unmatched by many turntables in this price range.
