Pro-Ject RPM 6.1SB turntable
Manual turntable with electronic speed change.
The belt-drive RPM 6.1 SB, provides the analog audiophile a well-built, aesthetically pleasing and fully featured turntable at a most affordable price. The minimal, circular plinth repels external vibration using three-point aluminum cones and the decoupled motor mount virtually eliminates any motor noise or vibration. The massive resonance-optimized platter is sandwich constructed using medium density fiberboard, flat-ground vinyl mat and a brass record puck for stable and articulate imaging and sound staging. This assembly is coupled with the plinth via an inverted stainless steel thrust bearing fitted with a ceramic ball and seated in a ceramic bearing plate for the best speed stability and lowest wow and flutter. A speed-box is included to provide easy speed change operations between 33-1/3, 45 and 78 rpm (depending upon motor pulley) for greatest speed accuracy. 9" precision tonearm with carbon-fibre armtube.
Also includes FREE dust cover, FREE spirit level, and FREE setup and alignment of the cartridge.
