Pro-Ject X2 Matt Black

The X2 turntable made by the company Pro-Ject is a new and improved version of their original model X1. There was very little to be improved upon so Pro-Ject decided to use materials of higher quality to bring the listening experience to a whole new level. A good motor by itself, is already very quiet. To get the best performance out of it, the motor’s suspension has been improved . The X2‘s motor chassis is carefully balanced and suspended on a precision tuned TPE belt - this way the motor chassis is effectively decoupled from the main plinth for optimal performance. Compared with its little brother the X1, the tonearm is longer and the tube has a wider diameter. The carbon/aluminium sandwhich construction results in better internal damping. The increased mass makes the tonearm an excellent fit for low compliance MC cartridges.
