Pro-Ject Essential III Turntable

$449.00

DETAILS

The little brother of the Debut Carbon. If you don't have the budget for the Debut, this is the next best option. A huge step up from basic plastic turntables!

Essential III offers a variety of enhancements compared to its successful predecessor, such as a diamond-cut aluminum drive pulley, a resonance-optimized MDF main platter and MDF chassis. The refined, high-precision platter bearing has significantly lower tolerances than Essential II. Essential III is the audiophile entry turntable! The setup is very simple, the included Phono RCA cable, Connect it E, sounds far above its price range. Equipped with the high-quality pickup OM10 by the phonographic cartridge pioneer Ortofon, Essential III delivers lively, balanced and highly involving sound that will delight every vinyl lover. On display at Ottawa, Toronto Queen St. W., and Toronto Danforth.
