Classic turntable with superior tone-arm & advanced magnetic cartridge reaches magical performance levels!
1Xpression Classic S-Shape is the 6th generation of the hi-fi classic Pro-Ject 1, which was presented for the first time in 1991. No
other entry-level turntable concept is more audiophile and the current version. It`s new innovative gimbal design features a res onance damping counterweight, that allows best performance for any cartridge. The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC
motor with effective motor decoupling, ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability. The complex main platter construction cannot be found elsewhere in this price range and is similar to the Xtension models.
Advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) are used in a sandwich construction with aluminium alloy for optimised resonance behaviour. Platter bearing axle is made from low tolerance chrome plated stainless steel running on Teflon bottom in a bronze b earing housing. Turntable main plinth is from low resonance MDF, which effectivly is decoupled from structure-born noise by special
absorber feet, that use TPE technology. As a special feature, this package comes with the outstanding 2M Silver cartridge, which
features silver spools for ultimate fidelity.
The top grade aluminium S-Shaped tonearm convinces with a harmonic, musical and engaging sound. Because of the detachable
headshell it is very easy to swap out cartridges. For your daily use you can utilize an MM system and for the pure listening pleasure you can change to an MC system.
