Pro-Ject Primary E Turntable (Open-Box)

What Hi-Fi Award Winner 2018 - Best Turntable under £200

"The Primary E confidently nails the basics, from an even tonal balance to a delivery that’s clear and clean and spacious enough to keep things coherent."

Key Features:

• Instant playback with super-easy setup
• Pre-adjusted tracking force & anti-skating force
• Pre-mounted Ortofon OM cartridge
• 8.6” aluminium tonearm with sapphire bearings
• Belt drive with silicone belt
• Low vibration synchronous motor direct-fed by mains
• Pre-mounted gold-plated RCA interconnect cable
• Special turntable feet for effective decoupling
• Acrylic lid included

The quiet-running, stable motor is direct-fed to the mains - like many other popular designs from the Pro-Ject range, such as the original, award-winning Debut Carbon - reducing the need for internal signal processing and an external power supply. The end result of this change is a turntable that still sounds like a true piece of hi-fi, but that costs less than ever before.

The Primary E's 8.6" aluminium tonearm uses sapphire bearings for optimal tracking across a record side. The tonearm is designed specially for use with the supplied Ortofon OM cartridge, and it's pre-configured to play straight out of the box with no fiddly setup.

The overall aesthetic of the Primary E has a sleek, retro appeal thanks to its consistent matte black finish. The included detachable dust cover also brings extra convenience and protection when the turntable is not in use. The Primary E is terminated with RCA cables for direct connection to a Moving-Magnet phono stage.

The Primary E turntable proves that hi-fi quality turntables don’t need to be complicated. Simply install the belt and connect it to a system in order to enjoy vinyl playback on an affordable device that won’t hurt your records.
