Project Classic Turntable

Project Classic Turntable

Pro-Ject Audio Systems has announced The Classic Turntable. Retailing at £799 the Classic utilises a simple and elegant frame design, which bears a notable resemblance to some of the most famous turntables of the 1950, 60s and 70s.

Available on demonstration at Fanthorpes HiFi, The Project Classics design is more than just aesthetically pleasing, it also combines proven hi-fi technologies with the simple set-up so often associated with Pro-Ject turntables, so you can get down to enjoying your music as soon as possible.

The two-plinth design utilises Thermo Plastic Elastomers (TPE) to isolate the sub-chassis, rather than the traditional method of a spring-loaded sub-chassis. The layout effectively decouples the motor from the main bearing and the tonearm, reducing unwanted interference between the components.

The Classic also boasts an entirely new tonearm, exclusively designed for this special anniversary turntable. The arm is made from aluminium, wrapped in a layer of carbon fibre. The carbon fibre keeps the tonearm light and stiff, while the aluminium adds improved damping and grounding.

The Classic Turtable is supplied as standard with the Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge, which has been designed exclusively for ProJect. However, the ability of the turntable is such that it‰Ûªs also capable of working with a wide variety of high-end Moving Coil options.

The Classic turntable is available in Eucalyptus, Rosenut or Walnut (seen pictured).
