Pro-Ject - Xperience Classic Turntable w/ 9cc Tonearm

Manual turntable with High Output Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 MC cartridge

Turntable  

• Available finishes. Mahogany or olive veneer and piano-lacquered black  

• A quiet running AC motor with a two-step pulley drives the platter's outside edge via a belt.  

• The transparent acrylic plinth stands on three height-adjustable Sorbothane®-damped aluminium cones.  

• The motor is decoupled from the plinth to reduce vibration transmission.  

• The resonance-optimised platter is a sandwich construction utilising the hub, a fine-balanced medium density fibre platter weighing 2Kg, a 4mm thick flat-ground layer of vinyl and a screw-down metal record clamp.  

• The platter's low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a Teflon bearing plate in a sintered bronze bearing housing.  

• Connection to the phono input of the amplifier can be made with connecting cables of your taste through the gold plated phono sockets and earth screw. A standard cable is provided.  

• External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference.  

Tonearm 9cc  

• As an optional extra, the turntable is supplied with Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 High Output MC cartridge.  

• The headshell and armtube are fashioned from a single piece of carbon-fibre.  

• Conical armtube avoids standing wave reflections.  

• Inverted tonearm bearing comprises four hardened stainless tips in ABEC7 spec ballraces.  

• Rings provide very solid arm bearing housings. The outside ring is open to avoid resonances.  

• Design of counterweight effectively counteracts unwanted resonances.  

• The counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 6 - 10g. Alternative counterweights for cartridges weighing between 11 - 15g, 8 - 11g or 5 - 8g are available as an accessory part.  

• Counterweight shaft lowered to record level reduces cantilever forces and dynamic wow when playing warped records.  

• Solid armbase permits accurate height adjustment of armtube and VTA (vertical tracing angle).  

• Single-screw fixing of armtube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell.  

• Silicone-damped armlift can be adjusted to suit working height of the arm.  

• The internal wiring consists of flexible high-purity copper from the headshell right through to the gold-plated phono sockets.
