Simply wonderful.

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019

It's been four years of use on this turntable.

With a 2m blue stylus this turntable really sounds excellent. It's a very good audiophile turntable. The thing sings!!!!

Stereo imaging, depth,bass and treble are very well balanced. It's not cold and the surface noise on good records is minimal. Rock,metal and classical music all sound wonderful on the Turntable. Speed stability is spot on. No drifts in speed ever.

Highly recommended.

A major disappointment, especially considering the cost

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017

A major disappointment, especially considering the cost. The tone arm's balance weight is loose with no way to tighten it, I used a coupla wraps of teflon tape. The adjustable weight feature is supposed to spin to the appropriate weight, but it not only doesn't set a weight, it usually spins the counterbalance with it. The anti-skate control is a small weight that hangs by a thread, and the thin wire frame it hangs from is easily nudged out of position, and there are no instructions on how the weight should dangle. With a loose counterbalance it is extremely annoying to get it all set right, and of course whatever you set it to is all guesswork. Then to top it all off, the plastic dust cover cannot close without hitting the counterbalance weight and pushing it further in. Stay away from this product. Tho after lots of experimenting, I did find the cartridge that comes with it, is pretty good.

One Impressive Turntable

I was especially impressed with the Olive wood veneer finish, it was beautiful and the clear finish was smoother than glass.
The turntable sounds great. Glad I purchased the unit.

Don't have predisposed expectations or you may end up with disappointment.

I guess my expectations were a little to high. I thought it would knock my socks off but it did not.

Love this turntable

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2015

Love this turntable. 5 Stars for sound quality. It's my second Pro-Ject, and I have always been pleased with both of them. I have B & W speakers and an NAD amp, so when I put some clean vinyl on this table, it sounds amazing. I have personally converted many of my friends back to vinyl with just a couple of sides of their favorite albums. The only complaint I have is changing from 33 to 45 requires removing the platter and changing the position of the drive belt. No switches to break, but a little bit of a hassle.

beware

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2015

beware of any representations about the pro ject products. if they are pro ject refurbished, they only carry a 30 day warranty, even if most dealers are unaware of the same and tell you upon purchase that they carry the standard two year warranty. Call the pro ject distributor in the US at 510-843-4500 and they will not able to tell you what exactly was refurbished, but whatever pro ject did (or did not do), they will stick to a 30 day warranty only. pathetic. check out any other reputable manufacturer (say marantz) and they stand by their work and will give you at least a one year warranty. by the way, you will not find any details of factory refurbished pro ject products on the market on the pro ject web site. post script two weeks later, THE TURNTABLE IS NOW TOTALLY NON FUNCTIONAL, ONLY STATIC AND A GLIDING TONEARM. I AM NO NOVICE AT AGE 62 WHO HAS USED HI FI TURNTABLES SINCE I WAS 18. EVERYTHING IS BALANCED AND THE PRIMITIVE ANTI SKATING ON THIS UNIT IS SET. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? THE GARBAGE CARTRIDGE- PRO JECT SPECS CLAIM THAT THE TURNTABLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A ORTOFON CARTRIDGE, BUT THE CARTRIDGE IS A SUMIKO PEARL, A REAL UNKNOWN. THE REP FROM THE US DISTRIBUTOR SAYS IT IS A SUPERIOR PRODUCT. WELL THANK GOD IT MALFUNCTIONED WITHIN WARRANTY. NOW THE RE PACKING AND ATTENDANT EFFORT TO RETURN THE ITEM. IF YOU EVER HAD AN OLD TURNTABLE (B&O OR THORENS) YOU COULD EASILY SAY THIS TURNTABLE STEPS BACK TO THE STONE AGE. WHAT WORKED AUTOMATICALLY, SAY AUTOMATICALLY STARTING TO PLAY INSTEAD OF AIMING THE STYLUS VISUALLY WITH THE CUING LEVER, TO CHANGING RECORD SPEED BY MANUALLY BY ADJUSTING THE BELT INSTEAD OF THE OLD FASHION METHOD OF TOUCHING A BUTTON. HELL THE TONE ARMS USED TO RETURN AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF ALBUM, NOT ON THE $1000.00 PRO JECT, YOU MUST MANUALLY GO OVER TO THE TURNTABLE AND LIFT THE CUING ARM AND PUT THE ARM TO REST YOURSELF. AND THE END IS PACKING THE ITEM UP IN COUPLE WEEKS (IF YOU ARE LUCKY- OTHERWISE YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY) AND MAKE THE TRIP TO FED EX. PERHAPS MUSIC HALL IS A BETTER CHOICE. I HEAR THAT AT LEAST THEY USE A LEGIT CARTRIDGE.
