Pro-Ject turntables


I was interested in Pro-Ject turntables...are they as good as the reviews say? And which model is the one to get? It could be the less expensive one, no problem. Thanks!

Yes, Pro-Ject turntables sound quite good. My suggestion would be to consider the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. Depending on where you buy, you can get demo models for $299. As you go up the Pro-Ject line, you'll find that much of what changes is cosmetic. Spend the savings you generate on the table and fit it with a nice cartridge. Personally, I purchased a demo Pro-Ject Debut Carbon and fitted it with an Ortofon 2M Black MM cartridge. Sweet. Good luck.
Funny; this is the 3rd thread regarding Pro-Ject turntables in a week. I totally agree with Wescoman, the Debut Carbon is the model to buy since it performs as well as TTs at a much higher price.

It comes with a good tonearm and an Ortofon Red cart. And to take it to a higher level, follow Wescoman's advice and upgrade the cartridge.
I think the Pro-ject turntables sound very good. I have heard the Extension 12 at length and thought it was a great price performer. A friend purchased one and used an Ortoform arm in a Shindo/Devore system with excellent results.
I had a used Xpression mk i it was good for $300.00 but there are much better out there like VPI
