The Pro-Ject Audio Primary E is an entry level audiophile plug&play turntable
Trend: Cheap turntables
Listening to analogue records has grown in popularity enormously over the last couple of years. This trend has enticed a lot of manufacturers from far and wide to enter the turntable game. These new players are trying to get a piece of the cake with plastic, features, low quality and cheap prices. They forget what makes a real turntable – sound quality! Only with high quality components and precision can you extract all the detail from the micro-grooves of your record. Plastic, lightweight platters, flimsy tonearms and low quality cabling with primitive cartridges are not suited for real HiFi grade turntables.
Pro-Ject‘s response: Primary E
With a smart tonearm design we were able to combine pure sound quality with an easy setup. Our plug&play design with pre-adjusted tracking force and anti ska-ting has saved us costs and is extremely efficient in handling for our customers. With no compromise in sound. On contraire, the lightweight and low friction aluminium tonearm is optimized for the Ortofon OM series and will bring out its maximum potential. With intelligent construction and without needless features we were able to keep the price attractive, despite this product being hand-made in Europe. This way we‘re able to offer our customers the sound quality they deserve!
A true HiFi stereo turntable!
The sound is excellent

I acquired the player of Vinil Pro-Ject Primary E, I liked its sound, I was even surprised that for such a low cost you can purchase a high-quality vinyl player. It is very simple in work, now I’m more like a buzz from listening to my favorite melodies. Thanks to the store for such a high -quality product, I think this player will serve me for a very long time.

Dislike design, price, good cartridge, passive drive, manual control, light tonearm
Fetire micata, the mass is small, non -removable shell
Passive drive, a dustproof cover, finally, the lack of a built -in phonor -corrector, are undeniable advantages. But the non -removable shell will cause inconvenience when replacing the cartridge (and a year and a half later, it will be better to change it to Ortofon OM10, similar in weight and geometric parameters, but superior in characteristics). The clamping force when replacing other types to cartridges will have to be installed according to Libra or, using the dies from the pharmaceutical scales, and there is no reserve for weight. The standing device, nothing superfluous, and the main one is at the proper level. And a very budget option. The only thing is that you still need to replace the felt microns with a rubber http://www.pult.ru/product/tonar-rubber-mat-298mmm

Pro-Ject was founded in 1991, during the onslaught of the compact disc and CD players, with the mission to offer the best analogue experience for reasonable prices. In a time where the digital audio media had been on the rise, and vinyl was declared as outdated and dead, Heinz Lichtenegger kept his belief in the simple but best way to enjoy music – turntables.
