Pro-Ject X8 Hi End Turntable (Phono Amp needed)

The X8 turntable is a true high-end solution with major technical features adapted from the Xtension 9 and 10.

For the new sensationally low price you get the heavy, TPE damped mass-loaded platter, which is precision lathed and balanced out of a single piece of aluminium. It is supported by a neodymium magnet which decrea- ses the load on the bearing. Considering the massively heavy platter, this leads to a smoothly rotating base for your vinyls and perfect speed stability.

The massive MDF chassis and the top of the line Pro- Ject 9cc EVO carbon tonearm have been ported over to the X8 as well.

The major differences to the Xtension 9 and 10 are found in the top of the main platter and the magnetic feet. In- stead of the glued-on vinyl top on the platter we went back to the use of slip mats. The X8 comes with our stan- dard felt mat. On the Xtension 9 and 10 you cannot really play around with using different mats due to the vinyl top. This customizability comes back on the X8 and offers a few more options to tailor the sound to your liking.
