Pro-Ject Elemental + OM5E Red-Sort

Turntable from Pro-Ject. Pro-Ject has decided to go after the cheap plastic turntable market with an high quality alternative that comes complete with an Ortofon cartridge. The new Elemental table is a real “plug’n’play” in every way. No adjustment of counterweight and antiskating is needed, because both are pre-adjusted. This new straight ultra low mass tonearm is optimised for Ortofon OM cartridge series. All the buyer needs to do is remove it from the box, remove the bearing guard, locate the belt around the platter, remove the stylus guard and plug it in.

The hidden secret to the new table’s sonic success, is a central gravity mass point, made from an artificial stone and placed directly underneath the platter bearing. It is capable to fully absorb unwanted rumble and motor vibration. This turntable appears to be pure simplicity itself, while maintaining high quality audio standards.
