Pro-Ject PJ97821959 T1 Audiophile Entry Level Turntable – Walnut

The Pro-Ject PJ97821959 T1 is the first T-Line turntable, aiming to deliver true high-fidelity sound on a limited budget. Boasting premium materials, stylish aesthetics and a rich, lively sound, the extensive development process has ensured that there has been no compromise in the sound performance when achieving such an affordable price. The stylish CNC-machined plinth, available in High Gloss Black, Satin White or Walnut finish. Features no plastic parts and carefully manufactured to ensure there are no hollow spaces inside, therefore avoiding vibrations within the chassis.

Carrying this philosophy through the design, the glass platter is also a heavy, zero-resonance design – again avoiding the flaws of plastic or lightweight steel alternatives. Finally, the purpose-chosen turntable feet also do a good job of isolating the Pro-Ject PJ97821959 T1 from ambient vibrations around your hi-fi system.

Pushing Audiophile Design to a new Affordable Level

In the Pro-Ject PJ97821959 T1, the motor drives a belt-system, attached to a newly designed sub-platter. Which is mounted into an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing. Just like our coveted Essential III turntables. Alongside the chosen motor system, the T1 is therefore able to ensure a smooth, anti-resonant rotational platform for the tonearm and cartridge to ride across.

The tonearm on the Pro-Ject PJ97821959 T1 is a new model, based on previous Pro-Ject designs. With its straight, 8.6” effective length and stiff aluminium construction, this one-piece tonearm also features low-friction bearings for absolute accuracy in use. Besides the clean and stylish looks, the integrated headshell won‘t cause any additional vibrations either. A big improvement over other detachable, screwed-on or glued-on headshells!

Supplied with an Ortofon OM 5E Moving Magnet cartridge, featuring an elliptical diamond stylus tip; A true hi-fi playback system with no corners cut. The Pro-Ject PJ97821959 T1, finished with super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables. Purpose-designed by Pro-Ject – not off-the shelf RCA cables. There is also a dust cover for extra protection and a felt mat to protect your records. The T1 is a new affordable marvel. Still made in Europe by a turntable factory with decades of experience. It is a true hi-fi turntable that looks and sounds sublime.
