Pro-Ject RPM5 Turntable - Black / Ortofon 510 MkII Cartridge

The aim to better the hi-fi -classic Pro-Ject-1 is achieved with two different approaches: According to the principle of “less is more” we exchanged the rectangular chassis in favour of a radical “drop-form”. In addition, the old resonating main platter was exchanged for MDF which is free of resonance. A metal ring is mounted around the main bearing for optimised conductance of unwanted vibrations. The audible benefits are amazing. The sound is calmer and richer without losing detail.
