Review

A good player for a beginner or for a vinyl not very frozen ... A voluminous collection of records was inherited, the choice fell on the Pro-jet A1 (OM 10), there are codes on the box, which is easy to understand where the bottom is up, the packaging is excellent, Even if you carry from the store like a suitcase, nothing will happen to it ... The most excellent inter -block wire, just respect for the full program !!!! But :-) You launched a plate and at this time in a non-feeled way you close the transparent lid, then most likely you will hear such a not strong boom in the columns ... If the needle on the zero track crawls to the first track, and you put on the cabinet on which there is a player of the one The same brush from dust ... You will hear not a strong boom in the columns .... I’ll try to additionally put some demos under the legs ... Understand correctly, it’s not critical, just know that this is the initial level that is definitely worth your money. . By sound, I dug up in the collection as young we were Gradsky .... fucking, the feeling of presence was to goosebumps ... I did not regret the captivity, a wonderful unit with a magic of a machine gun, a good sound (if you do not drum on the cabinet on which He stands) I definitely recommend buying (not for dancing of course) to enjoy the sound ...

Pros

Full machine, convenient. It will be optimal with a built -in corrector

Minuses

The head of Om 10 disappointed a little. When turning off, the sound from the head does not turn off when the needle is cleaned to be prepared. I could not adjust the legs.

Review

A good player, from the category for the lazy. Put, turned on and listen. I think to replace OM10 with Pick-SIT 25A. For money, it is fully consistent. Mechanics only work when moving tonarm, it does not interfere with the final listening.

Review

I took an Audio-Technica at-vp60xusb. Compared to this PRO-JECT player, 2-3 times more weighty, it looks more solid. Compared the sound, the Pro-JECT signal level is about 3 dB below, although in terms of characteristics I expected a small increase on the contrary. Not critical. The sound compared to audio equipment is softer, even, the bass is not so bulging. In general, without comparing the forehead in the forehead, the sound is very similar. For me, the most important advantage was the stability of the player to fluctuations, the floor in the apartment is poorly laid and the parquet swims, and with it the dolling cabinet. Audio equipment was stuck, went on tiptoe. This player does not care, at least jump. The playing speed is flat, corresponds to studio records. I am very pleased with the purchase, for this money perhaps the best machine gun.

Review

I took according to the reviews (according to YouTube, etc.) a machine for Jack, it's cool. The box is unhappy that the box is just a cardboard, and it is not indicated where the bottom or top and when unpacking of course the top turned out to be below. (Funny) During the transportation, what was hanging there (it was good that a piece of foam turned out to be) It plays well, but not super, the same audio technician sounds brighter (within the price) although, of course, there are almost no sounds of switching in mechanics. In the general apparatus, I am satisfied, especially at the cost, the machine is super, you don’t need to run after the plate, etc.
