Pro-Ject X1 Turntable Walnut with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge Open Box
with Pre-fitted Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge
Experience high-quality audio with the Pro-Ject X1 Turntable. Equipped with the Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, this turntable delivers precise and dynamic sound. The walnut finish adds a touch of elegance to your music setup.
The classic turntable design reimagined. Based on the same concept as the P1, but improved in every aspect thanks to modern materials.
The design is carefully tuned to offer the most critical features for the best price and everything is put together with Pro-Ject‘s decade long experience in making the best-performing turntables without blowing the budget: MDF is 2-3 times more expensive than standard particle boards, not to mention a plastic chassis, but sounds and feels way better.
The X1‘s luxury 8 layers of painting and the hand-polished finish are 3-4 times more expensive than simple foils. Inside, it houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board which, combined with the convenient speed control board, delivers clean and stable power to the quiet-running motor. This adds additional cost, but performs many times better than a simple, direct powered AC motor.
This item is an ex-display or ex-demonstrator unit. Slight cosmetic fault.

Better Chassis: Heavier, denser, less resonating new MDF material
Better Platter: Non resonating, heavier Acryl platter
Better Motor Isolation: New motor suspension for better decoupling of the motor vibrations to tonearm and chassis
Better Tonearm: Super stiff, perfectly damped Carbon/Alu sandwich construction
Better Counterweight: New Anti-resonant counterweight with TPE damper to reduce cartridge-tonearm resonance
Better Motor Speed Control and Electronic Speed Change: A sophisticated DC/AC generator board generates clean and stable power to drive the motor
Better Feet: Height adjustable, isolating Alu/TPE sandwich feet
Better audiophile features: Aluminium Tonearm Base with Azimuth and VTA adjustment
Better tonearm: Stiff one-piece tonearm without a vibration causing detachable headshell
Better Cable: All Pro-Ject turntables come with a high-quality phono RCA cable. Pro-Ject's Connect it E is a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable, with superior shielding. Compared to other digital and analog music sources, the signal coming from a turntable cartridge is very fragile in nature and cheap RCA cables often do not provide the ideal conditions for getting a phono signal to an amplifier. The Connect it E is purpose-designed for this exact application.
