↳ ③ High-end entry point

👉 This is the first turntable in Pro-Ject's line that we would consider high-end. With hifi turntables, the general rule is: the larger the mass, the better the sound. The X1B features an oversized body and thick acrylic platter, and weighs 3+ more lbs. than the EVO. In addition, it features upgraded tonearm assembly and Pick It PRO cartridge.

↳ ④ Best High-End Fully Automatic

👉 The A2 stands alone in this price range for automatic turntables (switch controls tonearm + motor, turns off automatically at end of record). Automatic turntables are normally not known for sound quality, but the A2 has been optimized in all the key areas for audiophile-level playback. And it looks amazing.

↳ ⑥ 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

👉 This factory bundle pairs the bestselling Debut Carbon Evo with an integrated amplifier and passive speakers. We believe a passive system (where an amplifier powers passive speakers) is the best sounding option for vinyl playback. The amp here also features Bluetooth for when you’re not listening to vinyl.
