Pro-Ject turntables

I purchased the Project Extension 12 a few months ago.

Very pleased so far.

It came with a Sumiko Celebration 2 cartridge and a dust cover.

I feel it was a good value.

Thorens never crossed my mind, so thanks for that. I would say, just by looking at their site, probably, but not 100 sure.

Thanks for the report, PKelly1504.

Now that this thread's been going on for 3-1/2 months, what's your current budget, Dave_72?

No more than $6k, really. By the way, I forgot about the VPI Classic 3. That's another 1 I'm currently looking at.

For that kind of money you may want to check out the Pro-ject RPM10.1 Evolution if you are still interested in a Pro-ject turntable. However, I would strongly recommend one of the followings over the Pro-ject:

Townshend Rock 7, Well Tempered Amadeus GTA MKII, Sota Nova, VPI Classic 3, Acoustic Signature Wow XL, Clearaudio Performance, or.......... Rega's top of the line, the RP10, for $5,495.00.

Again, big fan of Rega :)
