No one has a larger selection of turntables and turntable accessories than the Austrian company Pro-Ject. They make players in all price ranges, pickups, tonearms, record brushes, cleaning equipment and, of course, phono cartridges. Not one or two, no. They have more phonostages than I can count. Need a turntable input? Pro-Ject has an affordable …
Argon Audio calls the turntable a Special Edition, but the changes are quite subtle and they come at a price. The TT-4 Special Edition costs quite a bit more than the player it’s based on, and apart from the fact that it comes in five layers of high-gloss black lacquer, you can’t tell the difference …
Audio-Technica, please put this turntable back into production! It’s viable, it looks great, and it plays really well. There’s nothing to worry about. Audio-Technica has only built 3,000 copies of the transparent acrylic turntable. Created for Audio-Technica’s 60th anniversary, it’s completely sold out. Unopened boxes of the AT-LP2022 are already going for double the price …
A construction as simple as a turntable does not have to cost a fortune. Place a motor and a turntable in a simple cabinet – it does not have to be more advanced than fiberboard – put on an arm with low friction and mount a pickup. Done! It’s not going to play very well, …
Many believe that Technics’ legendary turntable was made for DJs. The truth is that Technics made the SL-1200 for the hi-fi market, but since the player was so solid, it was quickly intercepted by DJs who needed a reliable work tool. The rest is history as it is called, and it could have had its …
Teac who, you might say. They are probably better known for their tape recorders under the Tascam name, primarily in the studio context, but they also have a more commercial department that deals with more accessible hi-fi products. Teac, for example, is one of the few that constantly makes cassette players, but also high-end pigs …
Some may find it strange that a radio producer is making a record player. Actually, it’s not that weird. At least not if you buy the explanation from Tom DeVesto, founder of Como Audio. He believes that the popularity of vinyl records makes it natural for them to have a record player in their range. …
Since NAD took the world by storm more than 30 years ago, they have been helping to define the term ‘a lot for the money’. In particular, this applies to the amplifiers, which turned people’s perception of affordable hi-fi upside down. They have not received the same recognition for the turntables, as there have been …
You can hardly miss by choosing a turntable by Pro-Ject. Like Rega, they make some of the best turntables within an affordable price range, but also some cool, high-end turntables for connoisseurs. They even have a turntable with a built-in amplifier that just needs a pair of speakers to play music — and a standing …
