Its transparent acrylic plinth houses a floating Corian sub-chassis resting on opposing magnets — a design that eliminates the parasitic resonances of conventional spring suspensions while keeping the sub-chassis, platter, and tonearm precisely leveled via an included spirit level. Drive comes from a quiet-running AC motor with DC-driven motor control for electronic 33\/45rpm speed switching. The 6PerspeX Balanced offers two phono outputs — balanced mini XLR and RCA\/ground — and is available without a cartridge or as the Superpack bundle with a factory-aligned Pick it MC3 moving coil cartridge.

The sub-chassis — the structure that carries both the platter and the 9cc EVO tonearm — is machined from Corian and floats on opposing magnetic fields rather than springs. Magnetic suspension avoids the rocking modes and resonant peaks common to spring-suspended designs and maintains consistent decoupling without periodic re-tuning. The outboard motor is carried by the acrylic plinth, not the sub-chassis, so motor-born vibration does not reach the platter or tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMDF\/Vinyl Platter, Inverted Bearing, and 9cc EVO Tonearm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platter is a sandwich of precision-machined MDF coated in 4mm of flat-ground recycled vinyl. This construction damps platter resonance at the source; the vinyl surface also acts as an integral record mat. A threaded spindle and screw-down clamp couple the record firmly to the platter surface, improving high-frequency tracking and reducing inter-groove modulation from record warps. The bearing is an inverted design: a stainless steel spindle tipped with a ceramic ball rotates in an inverted bronze bushing embedded in the underside of the platter for smooth, low-noise operation. The 9cc EVO tonearm's headshell and conical armtube are formed from a single piece of carbon fiber, eliminating the standing-wave problems introduced by a separate headshell joint. Inverted tonearm bearings use four hardened stainless steel tips in ABEC 7 ball races.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual Phono Outputs and Balanced Operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most Pro-Ject turntables that use a single 5-pin DIN output, the 6PerspeX Balanced provides two simultaneous outputs: a balanced mini XLR and an unbalanced RCA\/ground. Balanced operation uses either a mini XLR to mini XLR cable or an RCA to mini XLR cable, connecting to the mini XLR inputs of compatible phono stages such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, or Tube Box DS3 B. In balanced mode, common-mode noise on the cable run is cancelled at the phono stage input, lowering the noise floor and improving channel separation. The table ships with a Connect it Phono E RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use; balanced cables are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

isolate the sub-chassis from the plinth via mechanical springs, which can introduce their own resonant frequencies and require periodic re-tuning as springs change over time. The 6PerspeX Balanced uses opposing neodymium magnets beneath the Corian sub-chassis instead: there are no contact points between sub-chassis and plinth, no spring resonance modes, and no maintenance. The magnetic field maintains consistent decoupling across a broader frequency range and remains stable over the life of the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between ordering the 6PerspeX Balanced without a cartridge versus the Superpack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6PerspeX Balanced Superpack includes the Pick it MC3 moving coil cartridge pre-mounted and factory-aligned on the 9cc EVO tonearm before shipment.

Simultaneously applying mass-loading and magnetic suspension principles — a combination rarely seen at any price — the Signature 10 is built to eliminate every known source of noise and resonance between the groove and the phono stage. At 23kg with a 10.4kg TPE-damped platter running on a magnetically decoupled inverted ceramic bearing, the Signature 10 includes Pro-Ject's own 10-inch single-pivot tonearm, balanced 5-pin DIN phono output, and electronic speed change between 33 and 45rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMass Loading and Magnetic Suspension: Both, Not Either\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost high-end turntables choose one approach to vibration isolation: mass loading (heavy plinth, heavy platter, inertial stability) or suspension (sprung sub-chassis, compliant feet). The Signature 10 applies both. The main plinth is filled with steel pellets at its central gravity point — the same approach used in Pro-Ject's Xtension and RPM 9\/10 Carbon range — drawing resonance to a single node and dissipating it through the pellets' dispersion effect, without the single resonant frequency of a solid alloy insert. The plinth then sits on opposing-magnetic isolation feet that float the entire mass above whatever surface the table rests on. The aluminum sub-chassis is further decoupled from the plinth by TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) pillows, and the platter itself is magnetically decoupled from the main bearing. The result is a four-stage mechanical isolation system: plinth-to-surface, sub-chassis-to-plinth, bearing-to-sub-chassis, and platter-to-bearing, each addressed with a different engineering approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10.4kg Platter on Inverted Ceramic Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's platter is precision-machined from aluminium alloy and damped throughout with TPE, achieving near-zero resonance. At 10.4kg, its rotational inertia provides exceptional speed stability without any electronic assist beyond the precision generator motor control. The platter spins on an inverted ceramic ball-and-plate bearing that is also magnetically decoupled: the magnetic force reduces the effective weight bearing on the ceramic ball to near zero, eliminating friction-generated noise and bearing rumble at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10-Inch Single-Pivot Tonearm by Pro-Ject\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 tonearm is a genuine Pro-Ject design — not a re-badged third-party arm — featuring a 10-inch (254.8mm effective length) single-pivot geometry in an aluminium tube. Its 15.5g effective mass suits medium-to-high compliance MC cartridges, and the arm ships with an array of counterweights allowing virtually any cartridge weight to be accommodated.

It pairs optimally with MC cartridges of low-to-medium compliance (8–16µm\/mN), such as those from Ortofon, Lyra, Benz Micro, and similar brands. The included counterweight set accommodates virtually any cartridge weight in the standard range.

At this level, cartridge selection is a highly personal decision that depends on your phono stage, musical priorities, and budget. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for expert cartridge recommendations matched to the 10-inch arm's 15.5g effective mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does balanced operation work on the Pro-Ject Signature 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's 5-pin DIN output carries a fully balanced phono signal. To use it in balanced mode you need a DIN-to-XLR (or DIN-to-mini-XLR) phono cable, an MC cartridge, and a phono stage with balanced XLR inputs. In balanced mode, any noise introduced along the cable run appears equally on both conductors and is cancelled at the phono stage, lowering the noise floor and improving channel separation versus unbalanced RCA operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage should I pair with the Pro-Ject Signature 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's balanced 5-pin DIN output is best matched with a phono stage that accepts balanced XLR inputs to take full advantage of its low noise floor. At the Signature 10's performance level, phono stages from brands such as Pro-Ject's own Phono Box RS2, Manley Chinook, Lehmann Audio Black Cube Statement, or Pass Labs XP-17 are natural companions. For unbalanced setups, a high-quality RCA phono stage is sufficient but leaves the balanced output's potential unrealized.

The primary difference is tonearm length: the Xtension 10 uses a 10-inch arm (254mm effective length) while the Xtension 12 uses a 12-inch arm (309.5mm effective length). The longer arm reduces inner-groove geometric distortion but requires more space. The Xtension 10 also supports 78rpm playback. Both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, with the Xtension 10 currently in limited inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pro-Ject Xtension 10 Evolution play 78rpm records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Xtension 10 Evolution supports 33, 45, and 78rpm via electronic speed change. To play 78rpm records you will also need a cartridge with a 78rpm stylus — standard LP styli will damage 78rpm shellac grooves.

Weighing 16kg (35 lbs), it combines two of the most effective approaches to vinyl playback — mass loading and suspended isolation — in a single chassis. Every Xtension 9 Evolution is handmade in Europe, ships with the EVO 9 CC 9\" carbon fiber tonearm, quartz-regulated electronic speed control, an 800g record puck, and a dust cover. \u003cem\u003eAnalog Planet\u003c\/em\u003e singled it out as a turntable that \"invites you to design your own\" — with nine finish options and a full tonearm, cartridge, and phono stage ecosystem available at Vinyl Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel-Pellet MDF Plinth — Mass Loading Done Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Xtension 9 Evolution's plinth is CNC-machined from high-density MDF — a naturally resonance-absorbing material — and filled at its \u003cstrong\u003ecentral gravity point with steel pellets\u003c\/strong\u003e. Unlike a solid metal insert, which can develop its own resonances, loose steel pellets dissipate vibration energy through dispersion. This draws harmful resonance away from the bearing and tonearm, dramatically reducing the potential for plinth-borne noise to colour the signal. The resulting mass (16kg total) also provides the inertial stability that characterises the best high-end turntable designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOpposing-Magnetic Isolation Feet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main plinth sits on three \u003cstrong\u003eopposing-magnetic isolation feet\u003c\/strong\u003e that physically decouple it from whatever surface the turntable rests on. With opposing magnets in each foot, the entire 16kg plinth effectively floats — combining the noise-rejection of a suspension design with the inertial stability of mass loading. A reviewer who tested the table noted that knocking the support surface caused no stylus skip whatsoever, a direct result of this dual-principle isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTPE-Damped Platter on Inverted Ceramic Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePro-Ject's platter uses a precision aluminum alloy damped with a ring of \u003cstrong\u003ethermoplastic elastomer (TPE)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the underside, topped with a layer of recycled vinyl baked into the surface as an integrated mat. The entire sandwich is precision-balanced before installation. The platter spins on an \u003cstrong\u003einverted ceramic ball-and-plate bearing\u003c\/strong\u003e supported by an additional opposing-magnetic force — the magnetic assist reduces the effective weight on the bearing surface to near zero, eliminating bearing friction and rumble at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuartz-Regulated Electronic Speed Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed accuracy is handled by \u003cstrong\u003equartz-generated electronic regulation\u003c\/strong\u003e with microprocessor control — the same Speed Box technology Pro-Ject uses in their standalone speed control units. Clean, interference-free AC power is generated on-board and fed directly to the synchronous motor, decoupling it from mains noise. Speed variance is held to ±0.09% and wow and flutter to ±0.1%.

Contact Vinyl Sound Toronto for cartridge pairing recommendations matched to the EVO 9 CC tonearm's 8.5g effective mass — moving coil cartridges of low-to-medium compliance are ideal, and balanced operation requires an MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the advantage of the steel-pellet-filled plinth over a solid metal chassis?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid metal insert can develop its own resonant frequency and ring. Loose steel pellets, by contrast, dissipate vibrational energy through movement and friction between individual pellets — a dispersion effect that converts mechanical energy to heat rather than allowing it to resonate. Pro-Ject uses this same approach across their RPM 9, RPM 10, and Signature series plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does balanced operation improve sound on the Xtension 9 Evolution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn balanced mode, the phono signal travels from the tonearm through the cable as a differential pair. Any noise picked up along the cable length is common to both conductors and cancelled at the balanced input of the phono stage — a process called common-mode rejection. The result is a lower noise floor, improved channel separation, and greater dynamic range. You need an MC cartridge, a balanced DIN cable, and a phono stage with balanced inputs to use this feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the tonearm on the Xtension 9 Evolution be upgraded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Xtension 9 Evolution accepts drop-in tonearm upgrades with no soldering required. Options include the EVO 9 CA Premium (carbon\/aluminum armtube, silver tonearm wire, upgraded bearings, TPE-damped counterweight), and the EVO AS and EVO AS Premium curved arms with replaceable headshells — ideal for cartridge collectors. Contact Vinyl Sound Toronto for upgrade pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage is recommended for the Xtension 9 Evolution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor unbalanced use, any quality MM\/MC phono stage is compatible. To take full advantage of the balanced 5-pin DIN output, you need a phono stage with balanced XLR phono inputs — such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box RS or RS2.

Applying mass loading and magnetic suspension simultaneously — a combination rarely found outside cost-no-object analog design — the Xtension 12 Evolution combines a 25 kg metal-granulate-filled plinth, height-adjustable magnetic isolation feet, Sorbothane-damped sandwich platter, and magnetically supported inverted bearing with an interchangeable Sorbothane-isolated armboard.

The Xtension 12 Evolution applies both. The plinth is filled with metal granulate that draws resonance energy away from the surface and disperses it, providing the inertial stability of a mass-loaded design without a single concentrated resonant frequency. The plinth then sits on height-adjustable magnetic isolation feet that float the entire 25 kg structure above the surface, mechanically decoupling it from floor and rack vibration. The tonearm base is further isolated from the main plinth board by a Sorbothane sheet, and is interchangeable to accept third-party 9 to 12-inch tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e12-Inch Tonearm on a Sandwich Platter and Inverted Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platter is machined from a special aluminum alloy, damped on the inner face with Sorbothane, and bonded to a top layer of recycled vinyl records. This sandwich assembly is baked and then precision-balanced, yielding a heavy, resonance-free platter with virtually no inherent ring. The platter spins on an inverted Type Block 1 bearing with a ceramic thrust-pad and magnetic support, which reduces the effective weight load on the ceramic ball and eliminates bearing-contact noise. The included 12cc EVO tonearm features a 12-inch carbon-fiber and aluminum tube: the longer geometry reduces inner-groove tracking error compared to 9-inch arms, which benefits complex orchestral and jazz recordings where geometric distortion accumulates toward the center. An Ortofon RS-309D arm and armless configurations are available as alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 kg mass-loaded and magnetically suspended belt-drive platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal-granulate-filled plinth for broadband resonance dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight-adjustable magnetic isolation feet — plinth floats above the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum alloy \/ Sorbothane \/ recycled vinyl sandwich platter — precision-balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInverted Type Block 1 bearing with ceramic thrust-pad and magnetic support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass record puck included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePro-Ject 12cc EVO 12-inch carbon\/aluminum tonearm (standard configuration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso available with Ortofon RS-309D or without tonearm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorbothane-isolated, mass-loaded interchangeable armboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Speed Box SE — electronic 33\/45rpm speed switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low noise AC synchronous motor (highest selection grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-plated RCA phono outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDustcover with adjustable hinges included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in high-gloss mahogany, piano black, and olive finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 \/ 45 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltra-low noise AC synchronous\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated Speed Box SE (electronic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum alloy \/ Sorbothane \/ recycled vinyl sandwich\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatter bearing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInverted (Type Block 1), ceramic thrust-pad, magnetically supported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord puck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTonearm (standard)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePro-Ject 12cc EVO, 12\", carbon\/aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffective arm length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e309.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffective arm mass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~11 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverhang\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterchangeable, Sorbothane-isolated, mass-loaded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhono output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-plated RCA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsolation feet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight-adjustable, magnetically supported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDustcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded (adjustable hinges)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-gloss mahogany \/ piano black \/ olive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 kg (55.1 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Pro-Ject Xtension 12 Evolution and the Xtension 10 Evolution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core platform — mass-loaded magnetic suspension, sandwich platter, inverted bearing, interchangeable armboard — is identical. The difference is tonearm length: the Xtension 12 ships with a 12-inch arm (309.5mm effective length) versus the 10cc EVO's 10-inch arm. The longer arm reduces inner-groove tracking error and can be an advantage with certain low-compliance MC cartridges, but requires a larger footprint.

The Debut Carbon EVO refines every element of the original Debut Carbon: a new motor suspension design using TPE damping borrowed from higher-tier Pro-Ject tables, three height-adjustable heavy-duty aluminum feet replacing the fixed rubber feet, a 1.7kg steel platter with an internal TPE damping ring that eliminates metal-platter ringing and adds rotational stability via the flywheel effect, and electronic speed change covering 33, 45, and 78rpm via a rocker switch on the underside of the plinth. The proven 8.6-inch one-piece carbon fiber tonearm — the component that gave the Debut Carbon its name — ships with the Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet cartridge factory-aligned and ready to play.

First, the motor suspension: the EVO uses a new TPE-based motor mount that reduces motor-born vibration reaching the platter and tonearm more effectively than the spring-based suspensions of earlier models. Second, the feet: three height-adjustable aluminum feet replace fixed non-adjustable rubber feet, allowing the platter to be leveled precisely on any surface — a critical factor for tonearm geometry and anti-skating accuracy. Third, the platter: the 1.7kg steel platter now includes a TPE ring on the inner underside rim, damping the steel resonance that was audible on the original Debut Carbon's uncoated platter. The speed control rocker switch has been moved to the underside of the plinth for a clean, button-free top surface. The 8.6-inch carbon fiber armtube remains unchanged — the same design that made the original Debut Carbon a benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":561,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":561}'\u003e8.6-Inch Carbon Fiber Tonearm and Ortofon 2M Red\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":601,\"w\":560,\"h\":176,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":601}'\u003eThe Debut Carbon EVO's one-piece carbon fiber armtube integrates the headshell and armtube as a single component, eliminating the resonance introduced at a separate headshell joint. Carbon fiber is significantly stiffer and lighter than aluminum at equivalent wall thickness, allowing the arm to track the record groove with lower inertia and greater responsiveness to stylus micro-movements. The Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet cartridge is factory pre-aligned with the correct overhang and tracking force set for immediate use. Gold-plated RCA output sockets allow the phono cable to be upgraded independently from the turntable. A 78rpm belt is included for shellac playback, which requires a separate 78rpm stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":793,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":793}'\u003eKey

It rotates on an inverted bearing with ceramic ball and PTFE thrust pad. An opposing neodymium magnet repels the platter from the plinth, reducing the effective load on the bearing and ensuring quiet, low-friction operation over the long term. The MDF chassis sits on custom feet CNC machined from aluminum, fully height-adjustable, and damped with TPE to decouple the table from both structural and airborne vibration. The combination of mass and multi-point TPE damping provides a stable, self-aligned platform that does not require ongoing adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrue Balanced Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X8 Evolution is configured for balanced phono operation via its 5-pin DIN output. To run balanced you need: (a) a moving coil cartridge, (b) a phono stage with balanced inputs, and (c) a DIN-to-XLR or DIN-to-mini-XLR phono cable. In balanced mode, common-mode noise introduced along the cable run is cancelled at the phono stage input, lowering the noise floor and improving channel separation compared to unbalanced RCA operation.

The Xtension 9 uses a mass-loaded, magnetically suspended sub-chassis with steel-pellet plinth filling and a heavier sandwich platter. The X8 Evolution uses a non-suspended approach: a heavy MDF chassis with TPE-damped aluminum feet and a single-piece TPE-damped aluminum platter on a neodymium-assisted inverted bearing. The X8 is more compact and easier to set up; the Xtension 9 provides a higher level of mechanical isolation.

The \"B\" designation indicates balanced output: alongside the standard RCA\/ground phono connection, the X2 B adds a mini XLR output for true balanced phono operation when paired with a compatible balanced phono stage and cable. The platform is built around a 50mm CNC-machined MDF plinth, a 2kg 30mm-thick acrylic platter, and a 9-inch carbon-wrapped aluminum tonearm — a meaningful step up in mass and rigidity from the Debut range.

The additional plinth mass compared to thinner-plinth designs reduces susceptibility to airborne resonance and rack vibration. The 30mm-thick acrylic platter weighs 2kg — dense enough to provide meaningful rotational inertia for speed stability, yet inherently low in self-resonance compared to glass or aluminum platters of equivalent size. The platter runs on a high-precision sub-platter with a stainless steel bearing shaft seated in a bronze bushing; Teflon mirrors on the bearing contact surfaces minimize friction and bearing rumble.

The TPE-damped counterweight reduces high-frequency resonances at the counterweight-to-stub interface. Azimuth adjustment and fully adjustable VTA allow the arm to be optimised for the Quintet Red's specific geometry or for any alternative cartridge within the arm's compatible weight range.

platter mass and material (2kg acrylic vs lighter platters), tonearm construction (carbon-wrapped vs basic aluminum), and phono output type (balanced mini XLR vs RCA-only).

To use the X2 B's balanced mini XLR output, you also need a phono stage with balanced mini XLR inputs — the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B, DS3 B, or Tube Box DS3 B are natural matches.

We’ve packed this tiny chassis to the brim with high-end features. One of those is our new True Balanced Connection. At Pro-Ject, balanced connections were exclusive to our RS range of products until now. The Phono Box S3 B brings those features to an incredible new entry level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrue High-End For the New Entry-Level\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Phono Box S3 B comes in complete new casework. The bigger size enabled us to bring a completely new feature set that was never seen before in this price range. The new steel \u0026amp; aluminium case also offers very high rigidity and isolation against outside interferences, which is essential for the new technology inside. Connect up to two turntables simultaneously – all parameters for each input get stored in the memory. You can perfectly match the Phono Box S3 B to a wide variety of cartridges. Use the gain setting to accurately match the output to other sources like CD players or streaming devices. Ultra-low values like 50 pF or 10 ohms allow you to account for all situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced By Nature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartridges are balanced signal transducers by nature! Due to the internal wiring of MM cartridges, you'll need to upgrade your turntable with an MC cartridge to access the entirety of that balanced signal. Together with our new True Balanced Connection cables you'll be able to access high-end features that were previously only available on the most expensive of phono stages. And the best of all: any Pro-Ject turntable with RCA, miniXLR or 5P outputs can do it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold mb-4 text-xl\"\u003eFULLY DISCRETE AND SYMMETRICAL GAIN STAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-medium\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Phono Box S3 B gain stage uses a fully discrete layout. A discrete circuit is composed of disparate electronic components, and individual devices. The amplifier section is built of single parts and doesn‘t use any integrated circuits! That makes for an extended and more costly design process but results in the best sound quality. The fully symmetrical gain stage can optimize the signal-to-noise ratios, feeding the semi-passive, RIAA equalisation stage with a clean signal to work on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold mb-4 text-xl\"\u003eTRUE BALANCED CONNECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-medium\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symmetrical design is the fundamental standout feature! Connect your turntable via the 5-pin mini XLR cable and enjoy the benefits of a balanced signal path.

These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. Countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid. Standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, but discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended and more costly design process, but results in the best sound for your money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box RS2 employs a true fully balanced design principle. Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +\/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission. In a true, fully balanced amplifier, like the Phono Box RS2, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSplit passive EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box RS2 uses split passive equalization for both of its RIAA and DECA curves.

The s-shaped geometry accommodates heavier cartridges that a straight arm at the same effective mass may struggle with. The SME-type headshell connection allows cartridge and headshell to be swapped without tools or re-alignment: remove the integrated Pick it S2 C assembly, install an alternative, and adjust tracking force. VTA is adjustable via two grub screws at the rear of the armboard; azimuth via a single grub screw at the gimbal bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced Mini XLR Output and 300mm Aluminum Platter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the standard RCA\/ground output, the Debut PRO S adds a mini XLR balanced output that enables common-mode noise cancellation when paired with a balanced phono stage — the same signal advantage used in professional recording.

The table ships with a premium semi-symmetrical RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use.

B: a 10-inch s-shaped tonearm (vs 8.6-inch on the PRO B) and a balanced mini XLR output in addition to the standard RCA connection. The PRO S also ships with the Pick it S2 C integrated cartridge-and-headshell rather than the Pick it PRO Balanced. Both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the SME-type headshell connection on the Debut PRO S useful?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SME-type headshell allows the entire cartridge-and-headshell assembly to be removed and replaced without tools or re-alignment. This makes experimenting with alternative cartridges faster and easier than on tonearms with standard half-inch mount connections requiring individual cartridge installation and alignment. The Pick it S2 C ships pre-mounted and factory-aligned for immediate use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I look for when choosing a mid-range Pro-Ject turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Debut PRO S level, the key differentiators versus lower-tier models are tonearm length and construction (10\" vs 8.6\"), platter material and mass (1.7kg aluminum with TPE damping), balanced output availability, and whether the cartridge is factory-aligned for plug-and-play use. The Debut PRO S delivers all of these in a single package. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for help comparing the PRO S against adjacent models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich accessories would enhance listening on the Pro-Ject Debut PRO S?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRO S ships with the Pick it S2 C, semi-symmetrical RCA cable, dustcover, 78rpm belt, and 7-inch adapter. The most impactful upgrades are: (1) a balanced mini XLR cable and compatible phono stage for balanced operation; (2) a higher-performance replacement cartridge via the SME headshell connection; and (3) a record cleaning kit to protect the elliptical stylus. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for a system-matched recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage should I pair with the Pro-Ject Debut PRO S?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pick it S2 C requires a standard MM phono stage (47kΩ, 200–600pF). To use balanced operation, pair the mini XLR output with the Phono Box S3 B, DS3 B, Tube Box DS3 B, or RS2.

The CNC-machined plinth (available in gloss black, satin white, or satin walnut laminates) uses no plastic and is engineered to eliminate resonant hollow spaces that degrade sound quality. The heavy 8mm blasted-glass platter resists resonance far more effectively than plastic or thin-steel alternatives, while purpose-selected isolation feet decouple the turntable from ambient vibrations. Unlike the T1 Evo Phono, the T1 Evo does not include a built-in preamp, delivering a pure phono-level signal to a dedicated MM phono stage or a receiver with a phono input. The Pro-Ject T1 Evo is available at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pro-ject\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":166,\"w\":556,\"h\":38,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":428}'\u003eVinyl Sound\u003c\/a\u003e, an authorized Pro-Ject dealer in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":221,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":483}'\u003eAudiophile Engineering at an Entry Price\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":261,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":523}'\u003eThe T1 Evo's motor drives a belt attached to a Debut-sized sub-platter, which rotates in a bearing assembly machined to tolerances within 0.001mm using a stainless steel spindle in a brass bushing. This drive system delivers stable, accurate platter speeds with non-resonant behavior, giving the tonearm and cartridge the best possible foundation at this price point. The 8.6\" one-piece aluminum tonearm integrates headshell and armtube for rigidity and resonance control, with high-quality bearings enabling silent, frictionless arm motion. The pre-installed Ortofon OM10 cartridge arrives factory-aligned, with tracking force set at 1.75g and anti-skating built-in, minimizing setup requirements out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":434,\"w\":560,\"h\":58,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":696}'\u003ePure Phono Output and the External Phono Stage Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":503,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":765}'\u003eThe T1 Evo outputs a standard phono-level signal, which requires amplification by a dedicated MM phono stage or by a receiver or integrated amplifier with a built-in phono input. For users who already own a phono-capable amplifier, or who prefer to invest in a quality standalone phono stage, the T1 Evo's signal path contains no onboard preamp circuitry. Entry-level options such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box E pair naturally with the OM10, while stepping up to the Phono Box S3 or DS2 reveals more of what the glass platter and 8.6\" aluminum tonearm can deliver.

The CNC-machined plinth (available in gloss black, satin white, or satin walnut laminates) uses no plastic and is engineered to eliminate resonant hollow spaces that degrade sound quality. The heavy 8mm blasted-glass platter resists resonance far more effectively than plastic or thin-steel alternatives, while purpose-selected isolation feet decouple the turntable from ambient vibrations. A built-in switchable MM phono preamp means the T1 Evo Phono plugs directly into any receiver or integrated amplifier's AUX or line-level input, with the option to bypass the preamp when a dedicated external phono stage is preferred.

This drive system ensures stable, accurate platter speeds with non-resonant behavior, giving the tonearm and cartridge the best possible foundation at this price point. The 8.6\" one-piece aluminum tonearm integrates headshell and armtube for rigidity and resonance control, with high-quality bearings enabling silent, frictionless arm motion. The pre-installed Ortofon OM10 cartridge features an elliptical diamond stylus and arrives factory-aligned, with tracking force set at 1.75g and anti-skating built-in.

For users who wish to upgrade to a dedicated external phono stage later, the built-in preamp can be switched off, converting the output to standard phono level.

For users who plan to upgrade to an external phono stage as a next step, the T2 Rainier provides the more flexible path: the T2 Super Phono's built-in preamp must be bypassed for external stage use, whereas the T2 Rainier connects to any external phono stage directly with no switching required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-aligned Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge (included, $149 value)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnlarged CNC-machined plinth — no plastic, no resonant hollow spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10mm, 1.7 kg zero-resonance tempered glass platter with felt mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel spindle in bronze bushing (0.001mm tolerance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-inch one-piece aluminum tonearm with integrated headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring-based anti-skating — fast setup, no hanging weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel-plated counterweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically regulated AC motor — 33\/45rpm speed change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced-capable RCA\/ground output (semi-symmetrical wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-symmetrical phono cable with gold-plated connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration-absorbing isolation feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrylic dustcover with adjustable hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in gloss black, satin white, or walnut laminate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 \/ 45 rpm (electronic speed change)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt drive, sub-platter design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed variance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6% (33rpm);

It adds a high-quality internal phono stage to the T2 platform — the same circuit design first introduced in the T2 W — allowing the table to connect directly to any amplifier line input without an external phono stage. The factory-aligned Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge is included ($149 value), making this a complete plug-and-play analog playback system.

The enlarged plinth compared to the T1 provides space for the higher-quality circuit components, resulting in measurably lower noise and better RIAA equalization accuracy than cheaper integrated preamp designs. The circuit is engaged by default but disengages with the push of a button when an external phono stage is preferred. This future-proofs the T2 Super Phono: as the user upgrades to a better external preamp or an MC cartridge, the internal stage can be bypassed without any modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e9-Inch Tonearm, Glass Platter, and Sumiko Rainier Cartridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9-inch one-piece aluminum tonearm features an improved low-friction bearing calibrated for the longer 9-inch geometry, with an integrated headshell that minimizes armtube resonance at the headshell joint.

Both share the same 9-inch tonearm, glass platter, Sumiko Rainier cartridge, and electronics. The T2 Super Phono is the right choice if your amplifier lacks a phono input; the T2 Rainier is the right choice if you plan to use a dedicated external phono stage. Both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the T2 Super Phono without an external phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The built-in dual-stage split-passive MM phono preamplifier allows the T2 Super Phono to connect directly to any amplifier line input (AUX, CD, Tape, etc.) without an external phono stage. The internal preamp can be bypassed when upgrading to an external phono stage or an MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I look for when buying a Pro-Ject turntable on a budget?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the T2 Super Phono's level, the key features are motor regulation (electronically controlled AC motor vs unregulated DC), platter quality (tempered glass vs plastic), tonearm length (9-inch provides lower tracking error), and whether a quality cartridge is included. The T2 Super Phono adds an audiophile-grade built-in phono stage, eliminating a separate purchase. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for help comparing T2 Super Phono against the T2 Rainier and T1 Evo range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Sumiko Rainier stylus on the T2 Super Phono be upgraded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Sumiko Rainier cartridge body accepts stylus upgrades to the Olympia, Moonstone, or Wellfleet levels — a simple drop-in swap that meaningfully improves resolution without purchasing a new cartridge. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for Sumiko stylus upgrade availability and recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich accessories would enhance listening on the T2 Super Phono?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2 Super Phono ships complete with the Sumiko Rainier, semi-symmetrical RCA cable, acrylic dustcover, felt mat, and 45rpm adapter. The most impactful upgrades are a Sumiko stylus upgrade (Olympia or Moonstone) and a record cleaning kit.

It updates the Debut Carbon EVO with three platform improvements: a 1.7kg CNC-machined aluminum platter with TPE damping ring (eliminating the magnetic interaction risk of the previous steel platter with MC cartridges), a heavier nickel-plated aluminum tonearm bearing block borrowed from the Debut PRO B, and a TPE-damped counterweight. The included Pick it MM EVO is a new moving magnet cartridge developed in collaboration with Ortofon, optimized for the Debut EVO 2's specific platter and arm combination. Electronic speed change covers 33 and 45rpm; the balanced-capable RCA outputs can be run in balanced mode with an RCA-to-mini-XLR cable and a compatible phono stage.

The 1.7kg aluminum platter is CNC-machined and precision-balanced with a TPE ring machined into the underside rim, which both damps metal-platter resonance and increases rotational stability via the flywheel effect. The new bearing block — the same design as used on the Debut PRO B — adds mass that pulls unwanted resonance away from the armtube and provides a more stable tonearm pivot. A TPE-damped counterweight further reduces armtube resonance at the stub interface. Adaptive anti-skating adjusts automatically as groove conditions change from outer to inner groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":541,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":618,\"abs_y\":802}'\u003ePick it MM EVO Cartridge and Balanced-Capable Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":581,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":618,\"abs_y\":842}'\u003eThe Pick it MM EVO is a moving magnet cartridge developed specifically for the Debut EVO 2's sonic signature, voiced in collaboration with Ortofon for immediacy and dynamic impact.

It brings the Pick it PRO Balanced — the first balanced-capable moving magnet cartridge — together with a balanced mini XLR output and an 8.6-inch one-piece carbon\/aluminum armtube on the Debut PRO platform. An internal DC\/AC generator powers the AC motor via a regenerated sine wave for stable electronic 33\/45rpm speed change, with 78rpm available via the included round belt. The 1.7kg die-cast aluminum platter with TPE damping ring provides high rotational mass and eliminates metal-platter resonance. An 8-coat satin black hand-painted MDF chassis with nickel-plated aluminum components gives the PRO B a minimalist, tool-free aesthetic.

The nickel-plated aluminum bearing block adds mass that draws resonance away from the armtube and provides a more stable pivot anchor than lighter bearing assemblies. Both VTA and azimuth are adjustable: tonearm height via two grub screws at the rear collar, azimuth via a single grub screw at the gimbal. The Pick it PRO Balanced MM cartridge is pre-adjusted at the factory; its re-routed grounding produces a symmetrical signal that enables common-mode noise cancellation when the mini XLR output is connected to a compatible balanced phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":502,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":502}'\u003eBalanced Mini XLR Output and DC\/AC Generator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":542,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":542}'\u003eThe Debut PRO B provides a balanced mini XLR output alongside the standard RCA\/ground connection.

The table ships with a Connect it Phono E RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use; balanced cables are sold separately.

Developed in collaboration with AC\/DC, the turntable takes its visual identity directly from the band's lightning bolt logo — a design that inspired both the plinth artwork and a completely new tonearm geometry unique to this edition. The heavy glass platter sits on a precision acrylic sub-platter with red LED illumination that glows beneath the record surface, while the AC motor drives the platter via a flat silicon belt.

The MDF plinth is finished with the band's iconic lightning bolt artwork, and the acrylic sub-platter is fitted with red LED lighting that illuminates the platter bearing assembly from below — a reference to the band's electrified stage presence that also serves as a functional indicator of the turntable's power state.

The sub-platter's acrylic construction is visible through the glass platter, lit from below by the red LED array.

A balanced 5-pin DIN output connects to compatible phono stages via DIN-to-mini-XLR or DIN-to-XLR cables.

The XA-B uses an acoustically inert transparent acrylic chassis as the main structure, resting on three height-adjustable TPE-damped metal feet. Three feet rather than four allows precise leveling on uneven surfaces — a critical parameter for tonearm geometry and cartridge tracking. The power circuit goes further than a standard outboard supply: DC from the wall adapter is fed to an internal DC\/AC generator, which creates an entirely new clean sine wave to drive the AC motor. This regenerated waveform eliminates the noise and voltage fluctuation of mains AC, providing consistently stable motor drive. An optional Power Box S3 Phono can supply both the turntable (15V) and a Pro-Ject phono stage (18V) simultaneously from a single unit with enhanced DC filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":473,\"w\":603,\"h\":58,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":473}'\u003e10-Inch Aluminum Tonearm and Pick it PRO Balanced Cartridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":542,\"w\":603,\"h\":235,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":542}'\u003eThe XA-B's tonearm is a 10-inch one-piece aluminum tube — longer than the 9-inch arms used on the X1 B and X2 B, reducing tracing error across the record surface. Aluminum is specified over carbon fiber specifically for its resonance pairing with the acrylic plinth: critical listening and measurement showed that acrylic can over-damp sonics when combined with a carbon armtube; aluminum provides a livelier, more dynamically present result. The cardanic bearing uses four stainless steel pinpoint contacts in an ultra-low-friction assembly, ensuring the tonearm moves without play or resistance. Adaptive anti-skating adjusts automatically as groove conditions change across a record side. A TPE-damped counterweight reduces armtube resonance at the counterweight-to-stub interface. Full VTA, azimuth, tracking force, and anti-skating adjustment are available. The Pick it PRO Balanced is a re-engineered version of the Pick it PRO MM cartridge with a re-routed ground that creates a symmetrical differential signal — enabling +6dB noise cancellation gain when used with a balanced phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":793,\"w\":603,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":793}'\u003eBalanced 5-Pin DIN Output and 1.7kg Aluminum Platter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":833,\"w\":603,\"h\":215,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":833}'\u003eThe XA-B's 5-pin DIN balanced output connects to phono stages with mini XLR or XLR balanced inputs via the appropriate cable (sold separately). Compatible Pro-Ject phono stages include the Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, Tube Box DS3 B, and Phono Box RS2. In balanced mode the common-mode noise on both phono cable conductors is cancelled at the phono stage input, producing a substantially lower noise floor and better channel separation than unbalanced operation — a particularly meaningful improvement at low cartridge output levels. The table ships with a Connect it Phono E 5P-to-RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use. The 1.7kg die-cast aluminum platter is precision-balanced after casting and fitted with a TPE damping ring on the underside, which mutes metal-platter resonance and increases rotational inertia for the flywheel effect.

internal grounding is re-routed to generate a symmetrical differential signal — the same principle used in balanced microphone wiring. Standard MM cartridges send an unbalanced signal; the Pick it PRO Balanced sends opposite-polarity signals on each conductor so that when they arrive at a balanced phono stage, any noise accumulated on the cable is cancelled. The practical result is approximately +6dB of usable gain with a substantially lower noise floor versus unbalanced operation with an equivalent MM cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":2274,\"w\":603,\"h\":45,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":2274}'\u003eWhich phono stages are compatible with the Pro-Ject XA-B's balanced output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":2331,\"w\":603,\"h\":117,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":2331}'\u003eThe XA-B's balanced 5-pin DIN output requires a DIN-to-mini-XLR or DIN-to-XLR cable and a phono stage with balanced mini XLR or XLR inputs.

The XA-B's internal DC\/AC generator converts the DC input from the outboard supply into a newly generated AC sine wave before it reaches the motor. This regenerated waveform is completely decoupled from mains noise and voltage variation, providing consistent motor speed regardless of what is happening on the electrical circuit. The result is more stable platter speed and lower background noise, particularly audible on sustained piano notes and orchestral strings.

Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced gain stage can now extract the final musical information out of the +\/- signals and subtract the hum and noise picked up during the transmission. This is the same concept used with every microphone in every professional recording studio worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiscrete Circuitry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box DS3 B uses fully discrete audio circuitry composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices (also called discrete components). Countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be as neutral, natural, dynamic nor vivid as we’d prefer. This discrete circuitry is designed in a full dual mono configuration for optimal channel separation and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePassive EQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter treating the balanced signals they are added back together and processed by the fully passive and discrete RIAA equalization stage. By keeping the gain stage fully symmetrical we can optimize the signal to noise ratio, giving the EQ section the best source to work its magic on. Fully split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal RIAA curve. For the balanced XLR outputs, a discrete balancing stage generates a symmetrical signal, so you benefit from balanced signal transmissions again. The single ended RCA outputs run their own fully discrete output stage, served directly by the RIAA EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCartridge Loading Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can connect two turntables at the same time, one balanced, one single ended.

The outer carbon layer provides maximum rigidity and keeps the arm light, while the inner aluminium tube actively dissipates resonances before they can reach the cartridge. This construction results in higher tracking accuracy, reduced inner-groove distortion, and improved overall clarity compared to shorter or single-material arms. The arm sits in a zero-tolerance bearing block machined from solid aluminium with a TPE-damped counterweight, high-purity internal wiring, and an adaptive anti-skating mechanism. Both azimuth and vertical tracking angle (VTA) are fully adjustable by loosening two grub screws, allowing precise alignment for any cartridge or platter mat combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Debut Reference 10 ships pre-fitted with the Pick it PRO Balanced moving-magnet cartridge, a redesigned version of the Pick it PRO with a dedicated True Balanced signal circuit.

Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 is a premium belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject Audio Systems of Vienna, Austria, and is the flagship model of the long-running Debut series. It features a 10-inch hybrid carbon-aluminium tonearm, a 300mm acrylic platter, electronic speed control for 33 and 45 RPM, and a factory-fitted Pick it PRO Balanced moving-magnet cartridge with True Balanced mini-XLR output. Handmade in Europe, it is designed to deliver fully audiophile vinyl replay without the complexity or footprint of much larger turntable designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Debut Reference 10 compare to the Rega Planar 3 or Technics SL-1500C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 occupies a similar performance tier to the Rega Planar 3 and Technics SL-1500C but offers several differentiating advantages. Unlike the Rega Planar 3, the Debut Reference 10 includes a longer 10-inch tonearm, which reduces inner-groove distortion and tracking error across the record surface. Unlike the Technics SL-1500C's direct-drive motor, the Debut Reference 10 uses a fully decoupled belt-drive with a clean-sine-wave DC\/AC power generator for quieter mechanical operation. It also uniquely provides a True Balanced mini-XLR output alongside the standard RCA phono connection, a feature found on very few turntables at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Debut Reference 10 play 78 RPM records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Debut Reference 10 supports 78 RPM playback. The deck comes with a separate round belt that replaces the standard flat belt. Fitting the round belt to the motor pulley engages the higher speed needed for 78 RPM records. A suitable 78 RPM stylus or cartridge is recommended for best results with shellac records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is True Balanced connection and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue Balanced connection is a signal transmission method where the audio signal travels on two conductors in opposite polarity, with any noise or interference picked up along the cable cancelled out when the signal is recombined at the preamplifier. The Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge in the Debut Reference 10 is specifically designed to generate a balanced output from the stylus, allowing the signal to be carried through a mini-XLR cable to a compatible balanced phono preamplifier such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B. The result is a noticeably quieter noise floor and greater dynamic range, especially in systems with longer cable runs or other sources of electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Pro-Ject Audio Systems dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across Canada and offers expert guidance on turntable setup, cartridge alignment, and system matching for the Debut Reference 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono preamplifier should I pair with the Debut Reference 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo take full advantage of the True Balanced mini-XLR output, the Debut Reference 10 should be paired with a balanced-compatible phono preamplifier such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, or Tube Box DS3 B. These preamplifiers are designed to accept the balanced signal from the Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge and reject common-mode noise throughout the signal chain. For standard RCA connection, any quality phono preamplifier with a moving-magnet input will work with the turntable's second RCA output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Debut Reference 10 suitable for beginners or is it aimed at experienced audiophiles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 is best suited to listeners who are ready to move into serious vinyl replay and want a turntable that can grow with their system. It arrives with the cartridge pre-installed and aligned, making initial setup straightforward, but its adjustable VTA, azimuth, and anti-skating controls offer the level of fine-tuning that more experienced audiophiles expect. It bridges the gap between accessible hi-fi and high-end analogue performance, and the availability of expert support at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, makes setup assistance easy to access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I upgrade the cartridge on the Debut Reference 10 in the future?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Debut Reference 10 is designed to accept cartridge upgrades. The 10-inch carbon-aluminium tonearm has an effective mass of 16.6g, which is well suited to a wide range of moving-magnet and low-compliance moving-coil cartridges. The adjustable VTA and azimuth allow precise alignment when fitting a new cartridge, and the tonearm's high-purity internal wiring and adaptive anti-skating mechanism ensure optimal performance across a broad range of cartridge options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49040108749052,"sku":"PJ37902389","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/Pro-JectDebutReference10_PickItPROB_-SatinBlack.png?v=1777518110"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-bluetooth-box-e-hd","title":"Pro-Ject Bluetooth Box E HD","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePro-Ject Bluetooth Box E HD at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluetooth Box E HD is a high-definition wireless audio receiver from Pro-Ject Audio Systems (Vienna, Austria), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Box E HD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Bluetooth Box E HD is a compact hi-fi Bluetooth audio receiver from Pro-Ject Audio Systems of Vienna, Austria. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD for high-resolution wireless streaming, and connects to any existing amplifier or DAC via switchable analogue RCA or digital optical Toslink outputs. It stores up to eight paired devices and works within a range of approximately 10 metres, making it a simple and effective way to add high-definition wireless audio to any hi-fi system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Bluetooth Box E HD compare to the WiiM Mini or Cambridge Audio BT100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject BT Box E HD differs from alternatives like the WiiM Mini and Cambridge Audio BT100 in its focus on pure Bluetooth reception with both aptX HD and a digital optical output in a single compact unit. The WiiM Mini adds network streaming and Wi-Fi but does not support aptX HD. The Cambridge Audio BT100 offers aptX but lacks a Toslink digital output, making the BT Box E HD more flexible for systems with an external DAC. For listeners who want to stream wirelessly from a phone or tablet with maximum codec quality and a clean digital output path, the BT Box E HD is a focused and practical solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Bluetooth Box E HD work with an iPhone or Android phone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Bluetooth Box E HD works with any Bluetooth-capable smartphone or tablet, including iPhones and Android devices. iPhones support the SBC codec over Bluetooth, while most modern Android phones support aptX or aptX HD for higher-quality wireless audio. The receiver will automatically negotiate the best available codec with the connected device, so no manual configuration is required. Fast auto-pairing connects a recognised device in three to five seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is aptX HD and how is it different from standard Bluetooth audio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eaptX HD is a Qualcomm-developed Bluetooth audio codec that supports wireless transmission at up to 24-bit \/ 48kHz resolution, compared to the 16-bit quality of standard aptX or the lower-quality SBC codec used by most Bluetooth devices. Standard Bluetooth audio compresses the signal significantly, which can reduce detail and dynamic range. aptX HD retains more of the original recording's information during wireless transmission, resulting in cleaner treble, fuller bass, and a more open soundstage when used with a compatible source device and receiver like the BT Box E HD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Pro-Ject Bluetooth Box E HD in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Bluetooth Box E HD is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Pro-Ject Audio Systems dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across Canada and can assist with questions about setup, system compatibility, and pairing the BT Box E HD with other Pro-Ject or third-party components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Bluetooth Box E HD with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluetooth Box E HD is a receiver, so it cannot directly stream audio from a turntable to a wireless speaker. However, the complementary Pro-Ject Phono Box E BT5 is designed to work alongside it: the Phono Box E BT5 connects to a turntable and transmits the phono signal wirelessly via Bluetooth, while the BT Box E HD receives that signal and outputs it to a connected amplifier or DAC. This pairing creates a high-resolution wireless vinyl streaming system within a single ecosystem of Pro-Ject components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Bluetooth Box E HD need to be left on permanently?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bluetooth Box E HD draws less than 1 watt in standby mode, making it extremely economical to leave connected at all times. There is no need to power it down between listening sessions. The included 18V outboard power supply keeps the unit powered independently of any system components, and the eight-device memory means paired phones and tablets reconnect automatically without any action from the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":49040342024444,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":49040342057212,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/Pro-JectBluetoothBoxEHD_2.png?v=1777518547"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-dac-box-e","title":"Pro-Ject DAC Box E","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePro-Ject DAC Box E at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC Box E is an entry-level digital-to-analogue converter from Pro-Ject Audio Systems (Vienna, Austria), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Its perfectly linear audio circuitry and low output impedance ensure clean, interference-free signal delivery to any amplifier or preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCirrus Logic CS4344 Converter and Low-Noise Circuit Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the DAC Box E is the Cirrus Logic CS4344, a precision 24-bit stereo DAC chip chosen for its low distortion, wide dynamic range, and clean conversion at sampling rates up to 192kHz. The surrounding circuit design prioritises signal integrity throughout: SMD component construction keeps signal paths short and consistent, while internal metal shielding blocks electromagnetic interference from reaching the audio stage. The output stage is designed for low output impedance, which prevents cable-related signal degradation and avoids negative interaction with the input impedance of any preamplifier or integrated amplifier it connects to. An outboard 18V power supply keeps switching noise well away from the sensitive analogue output stage, contributing to a quieter noise floor than DACs powered directly from a shared internal supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual Digital Inputs and HD Audio Support\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC Box E accepts digital audio from two independent sources simultaneously: a coaxial S\/PDIF RCA input and an optical Toslink input. Both support sampling rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz, while the coaxial input extends to the full 192kHz for high-resolution audio playback. This makes the DAC Box E equally suitable as an upgrade for a CD player outputting at 44.1kHz or as a conversion stage for high-resolution audio files streamed to a compatible digital transport. All processing is PCM stereo, covering the vast majority of consumer digital audio formats from standard CD up to studio-quality high-resolution recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCirrus Logic CS4344 DAC Chip:\u003c\/strong\u003e A precision 24-bit stereo converter delivering low distortion and high resolution at sampling rates up to 192kHz for transparent, detailed playback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24-bit \/ 192kHz HD Conversion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full high-resolution audio support for the coaxial input, with up to 96kHz via the optical input, covering CD, HD audio, and streaming sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoaxial S\/PDIF Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e An RCA coaxial digital input accepts signals at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, and 192kHz for connection to CD players, transports, and compatible streamers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptical Toslink Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Toslink optical input accepts signals at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz for connection to televisions, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and optical-equipped computers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Noise Output Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specially selected low-noise components in the output stage deliver a clean analogue signal with minimal hiss or interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Metal Shielding:\u003c\/strong\u003e A metal shield inside the chassis blocks electromagnetic interference from reaching the audio circuitry, preserving signal purity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSMD Circuitry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface-mount component construction keeps signal traces short and consistent for improved channel matching and reduced parasitic interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Output Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The fully linear output stage presents a low impedance to connected cables and preamplifiers, reducing susceptibility to cable-induced noise and interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold-Plated RCA Output Sockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated connectors on the analogue output resist oxidation and maintain a reliable, low-resistance connection to downstream components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutboard Power Supply Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e An 18V \/ 500mA DC external power supply keeps switching-regulator noise away from the sensitive DAC and output circuitry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Form Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 120 x 32 x 100mm and 250g, the DAC Box E can be positioned directly alongside or behind a source component without occupying significant shelf space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in Black or White:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two finish options to complement any system aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eD\/A Converter Chip\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCirrus Logic CS4344, 24-bit \/ 192kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSupported Audio Format\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePCM \/ LPCM stereo (no multi-channel support)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDigital Input 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCoaxial S\/PDIF (RCA): 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, 192 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDigital Input 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOptical Toslink: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAnalogue Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 pair RCA \/ phono sockets\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.7 Vrms\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutboard Power Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e18V \/ 500mA DC;

It converts digital audio signals from coaxial or optical sources into an analogue stereo output, supporting PCM audio at up to 24-bit \/ 192kHz via the Cirrus Logic CS4344 converter chip. It is designed to replace the built-in DAC circuits in budget CD players, Blu-ray players, DVD players, and set-top boxes with a dedicated, higher-quality conversion stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DAC Box E compare to the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 or iFi Zen DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject DAC Box E occupies the entry level of the external DAC market alongside options like the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 and iFi Zen DAC, but with a more focused feature set. Unlike the iFi Zen DAC, the DAC Box E does not include a USB input or headphone output, concentrating entirely on coaxial and optical S\/PDIF sources for a cleaner, purpose-built signal path. Compared to the DacMagic 100, the DAC Box E is more compact and better suited for installation directly alongside a source component. For listeners whose source devices have a coaxial or optical output and who want a straightforward, high-quality analogue conversion stage without additional features, the DAC Box E offers a focused and cost-effective solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the DAC Box E be used with a television or set-top box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DAC Box E works with any television, set-top box, satellite receiver, or streaming device that has an optical Toslink or coaxial S\/PDIF digital audio output. The optical input accepts PCM stereo signals at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz, which covers all standard stereo audio from broadcast and streaming sources. It does not support multi-channel formats such as Dolby Digital or DTS, so the source device must be set to output PCM stereo rather than a surround sound format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a DAC and why does an external one improve sound quality?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA DAC, or digital-to-analogue converter, is the component that translates digital audio data into the analogue electrical signal that an amplifier and speakers can reproduce. Every digital source contains a DAC, but the circuits built into budget CD players, televisions, laptops, and set-top boxes are typically designed to minimum cost specifications, using low-grade components and sharing a circuit board with processors that generate electrical noise. An external DAC like the Pro-Ject DAC Box E uses a dedicated precision converter chip, isolated power supply, and purpose-designed low-noise output stage to deliver a significantly cleaner and more detailed analogue signal from the same digital source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Pro-Ject DAC Box E in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject DAC Box E is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Pro-Ject Audio Systems dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across Canada and can provide guidance on pairing the DAC Box E with CD players, amplifiers, and other components in any system configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DAC Box E support USB audio from a computer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the DAC Box E does not include a USB input. It accepts digital audio exclusively via its coaxial S\/PDIF RCA and optical Toslink inputs. Computers with a USB audio output can be connected using a separate USB-to-S\/PDIF converter or a soundcard with a coaxial or optical output. For listeners who require direct USB connectivity, Pro-Ject's broader Box Design range includes DAC models with USB inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat amplifier or speakers should I pair with the DAC Box E?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC Box E outputs a 0.7 Vrms analogue signal through its RCA sockets, which is compatible with the line-level input of any integrated amplifier, stereo preamplifier, or active speakers. It works equally well in a compact desktop system as in a dedicated hi-fi rack setup. The low output impedance of the DAC Box E makes it well matched to a wide range of amplifier input stages without signal loss or tonal coloration introduced by the cable and connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the DAC Box E to improve the sound from a Blu-ray or DVD player?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the DAC Box E is particularly well suited to this application. Most Blu-ray and DVD players include a coaxial or optical digital output that bypasses the player's internal DAC and sends the raw digital signal to an external converter. Connecting the player's digital output to the DAC Box E allows the Cirrus Logic CS4344 chip to handle all conversion, replacing the player's budget internal DAC with a dedicated stage optimised purely for stereo audio quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":49040512286972,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":49040512319740,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/Pro-JectDACBoxE_3.png?v=1777519100"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-record-box-e","title":"Pro-Ject Record Box E","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePro-Ject Record Box E at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Record Box E is a phono preamplifier with integrated analogue-to-digital conversion and USB output from Pro-Ject Audio Systems (Vienna, Austria), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

RIAA curve accuracy is held to within 0.5 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring faithful tonal reproduction from any well-set-up cartridge. Moving-magnet cartridges connect at 47 kilohms input impedance with 40 dB of gain, while low-output moving-coil cartridges connect at 100 ohms with 60 dB of gain. Total harmonic distortion is held below 0.01% in MM mode and below 0.05% in MC mode. The noise floor reaches 94 dB A-weighted for MM and 75 dB A-weighted for MC, figures that significantly outperform the phono stages built into most budget turntables and integrated amplifiers. SMD component construction keeps signal paths short and consistent, and an internal metal shield prevents electromagnetic interference from reaching the audio circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBurr Brown PCM2904 A\/D Converter and Driverless USB Recording\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated alongside the phono amplifier stage is a Burr Brown PCM2904 16-bit delta-sigma analogue-to-digital converter, which digitises the phono-equalised signal and outputs it via a mini-USB connection to any Windows, Mac OS, or Linux computer. The PCM2904 is a class-compliant USB audio device, meaning the operating system recognises it automatically with no additional drivers needed. Sampling rates of 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz are supported, with 44.1kHz being the standard CD-quality setting used by most recording software. Free applications such as Audacity, available on all three operating systems, are sufficient to capture, edit, and export vinyl recordings in any standard digital audio format. The analogue RCA line output operates simultaneously with the USB output, so the Record Box E can feed an amplifier for playback while recording to a computer at the same

Pro-Ject Record Box E is a dual-function phono preamplifier and vinyl digitisation interface from Pro-Ject Audio Systems of Vienna, Austria. It amplifies and RIAA-equalises the signal from any moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridge for playback through an amplifier, while simultaneously converting that signal to digital audio via a built-in Burr Brown PCM2904 16-bit A\/D converter and outputting it over USB to a Windows, Mac OS, or Linux computer. No drivers are required, and recording software such as the free Audacity application can capture the signal immediately after connecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Record Box E compare to the Rega Fono Mini A2D or Audio-Technica AT-LP2X?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Record Box E is a standalone phono preamplifier with USB digitisation, and differs meaningfully from competing options like the Rega Fono Mini A2D and the built-in preamp on turntables such as the Audio-Technica AT-LP2X. Unlike the AT-LP2X's internal phono stage, the Record Box E supports both moving-magnet and low-output moving-coil cartridges, providing 40 dB or 60 dB of gain respectively. Compared to the Rega Fono Mini A2D, the Record Box E offers the MC input option and a Dr. Sykora inspired circuit that delivers a noise floor of 94 dB A-weighted in MM mode. For listeners who already own a turntable and want to add both standalone phono amplification and USB recording capability in a single compact unit, the Record Box E is a focused and cost-effective solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I record vinyl to my computer using the Record Box E without buying extra software?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Record Box E works immediately with free recording software on all supported operating systems. Audacity is a free, open-source application available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux that can record the USB signal from the Record Box E, edit the resulting audio, and export it as MP3, WAV, FLAC, or other common formats. No additional drivers are needed as the Burr Brown PCM2904 chip uses the USB audio class built into every modern operating system. Users familiar with GarageBand on Mac, or other digital audio workstations, can use those applications equally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is RIAA equalisation and why does it matter for vinyl playback?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRIAA equalisation is a standardised treble-boost and bass-cut applied to audio during vinyl record cutting, and the corresponding inverse curve that a phono preamplifier must apply during playback to restore a flat frequency response. Without accurate RIAA equalisation, vinyl playback sounds either thin and bright or heavy and dull depending on which side of the curve is misapplied. The Record Box E holds its RIAA curve accuracy to within 0.5 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, meaning every frequency across the full audible range is reproduced correctly and with minimal deviation from the intended tonal balance of the recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Pro-Ject Record Box E in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Record Box E is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Pro-Ject Audio Systems dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound can advise on cartridge compatibility, gain settings for MM and MC cartridges, and how to integrate the Record Box E into any existing turntable setup for both playback and vinyl digitisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Record Box E work with a moving-coil cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Record Box E includes a dedicated MC input configured for low-output moving-coil cartridges at 100 ohms input impedance and 60 dB of gain. This covers the majority of low-output MC cartridges used on mid-range and upper-mid-range turntables. The MM input at 47 kilohms and 40 dB of gain covers all standard moving-magnet cartridges and high-output moving-coil designs. Switching between MM and MC is handled by a selector on the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Record Box E for playback and recording at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Record Box E outputs both its analogue RCA line signal and its USB digital signal simultaneously. This means a listener can connect the RCA output to an amplifier for real-time playback through speakers while the USB output feeds a computer running recording software. There is no need to choose between monitoring the playback and capturing the recording, making the workflow for digitising a vinyl collection straightforward and uninterrupted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat recording software should I use with the Record Box E on a Mac?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Mac OS, the Record Box E is recognised automatically as a USB audio input device with no drivers required. The free Audacity application is compatible and fully functional for recording, trimming, and exporting vinyl recordings. GarageBand, which is included free with Mac OS, also accepts the Record Box E as an audio input source. Pro-Ject notes that on some Mac OS versions, the free LineIn utility from Rogue Amoeba may be needed to enable simultaneous monitoring through the Mac's audio output while recording via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49040713875708,"sku":null,"price":199.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":50966316155132,"sku":null,"price":199.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/RECORD_BOX_E_BLACK.png?v=1777519552"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-tube-box-s3-b","title":"Pro-Ject Tube Box S3 B","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePro-Ject Tube Box S3 B at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tube Box S3 B is a balanced audiophile tube phono preamplifier from Pro-Ject Audio Systems (Vienna, Austria), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Combining the harmonic richness of two \u003cstrong\u003eECC83 (12AX7) vacuum tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e with a fully symmetrical and discrete gain stage, balanced 5-pin mini XLR input, and balanced XLR outputs, the Tube Box S3 B brings True Balanced Connection technology to a tube phono stage in an unprecedented way for its price range. Compatible with both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, it offers \u003cstrong\u003efour gain settings from 40 to 65 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e, five impedance loading options, four capacitance settings, a semi-passive RIAA equalisation stage, and a defeatable subsonic filter, all accessible directly from the front panel. Handmade in Europe since 1991 in a steel and aluminium chassis, it represents the fullest expression of Pro-Ject's True Balanced Connection philosophy in a tube-based design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eECC83 Tube Amplification and Fully Discrete Symmetrical Gain Stage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Tube Box S3 B is a pair of ECC83 (12AX7) dual-triode vacuum tubes, which form the core of a fully discrete, symmetrical gain stage designed to extract every musical detail from the phono signal while contributing the natural harmonic richness and spatial quality that tube amplification is known for. The gain stage uses no integrated circuits: every component in the amplification path is an individual discrete device, a design approach that is significantly more costly to engineer but results in superior signal integrity, lower noise, and a more lifelike sonic character than op-amp based alternatives. The fully symmetrical circuit architecture processes the positive and negative signal arms independently through matched amplifier sections before recombining them, achieving the noise cancellation and common-mode rejection that balanced transmission provides. A semi-passive RIAA equalisation stage follows the gain stage, maintaining RIAA curve accuracy within 0.4 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrue Balanced Connection and Front-Panel Cartridge Loading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tube Box S3 B is built around Pro-Ject's True Balanced Connection standard, which allows a balanced-ready turntable fitted with a moving-coil cartridge to maintain a fully symmetrical signal path from the stylus through to the balanced XLR outputs. The 5-pin mini XLR input accepts this balanced signal directly, while a standard pair of RCA phono inputs accommodates any conventional single-ended turntable connection. Both inputs can be connected simultaneously, with the active input selected from the front panel and the settings for each stored independently in memory. Cartridge loading adjustments are made entirely from the front panel without dip switches or accessing the interior: five impedance options of 10, 50, 100, 1k, and 47k ohms cover the full range of MC and MM cartridges, four capacitance settings of 50, 150, 300, and 400 pF allow fine-tuning for MM cartridges, and four gain steps of 40, 45, 60, and 65 dB accommodate everything from high-output MM cartridges to the lowest-output MC designs. The XLR output adds an additional 6 dB on top of the selected gain setting. A defeatable subsonic filter at 20 Hz with an 18 dB per octave slope removes low-frequency turntable rumble and warp noise from the signal before it reaches the rest of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2x ECC83 (12AX7) Vacuum Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e A matched pair of ECC83 dual-triode tubes forms the amplification core, delivering the harmonic richness, spatial depth, and musical naturalness associated with the best tube phono stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Discrete and Symmetrical Gain Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e No integrated circuits in the signal path.

is the Pro-Ject Tube Box S3 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Tube Box S3 B is a balanced tube phono preamplifier from Pro-Ject Audio Systems of Vienna, Austria, supporting both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. It uses two ECC83 (12AX7) vacuum tubes in a fully discrete, symmetrical gain stage with a balanced 5-pin mini XLR input and balanced XLR outputs. Four gain settings from 40 to 65 dB, five impedance options, four capacitance settings, and a defeatable subsonic filter are all adjustable from the front panel. Handmade in Europe, it is designed to bring tube warmth and True Balanced Connection technology to serious vinyl playback at a level of performance previously found only in much more costly phono stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Tube Box S3 B compare to the iFi iPhono3 Black Label or Parasound JC 3 Jr.?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Tube Box S3 B competes with solid-state phono stages like the iFi iPhono3 Black Label and Parasound JC 3 Jr. but offers a meaningfully different approach. Unlike both of those solid-state designs, the Tube Box S3 B uses ECC83 vacuum tubes in the gain stage, contributing the harmonic texture and three-dimensional soundstage presentation that tube amplification provides. Unlike the iFi iPhono3 Black Label, the Tube Box S3 B includes a balanced 5-pin mini XLR input for True Balanced Connection from a compatible turntable, a feature absent on most phono stages at any price. Compared to the Parasound JC 3 Jr., the Tube Box S3 B offers full front-panel access to cartridge loading adjustments without dip switches, and balanced XLR outputs at a more compact footprint. For listeners seeking tube character alongside balanced architecture and front-panel usability, the Tube Box S3 B stands apart from solid-state alternatives in its category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does True Balanced Connection mean for the Tube Box S3 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue Balanced Connection is Pro-Ject's system for maintaining a fully symmetrical signal path from the cartridge to the phono preamplifier output. A moving-coil cartridge generates an inherently balanced signal, with a positive and negative conductor for each channel. Using a 5-pin mini XLR cable from a balanced-ready Pro-Ject turntable to the Tube Box S3 B keeps this balanced signal intact all the way into the phono stage. The Tube Box S3 B's fully symmetrical discrete gain stage then processes both signal arms independently before combining them and subtracting any noise introduced along the way. The result is a significantly quieter noise floor, a wider and deeper soundstage, and greater dynamic contrast compared to a conventional single-ended RCA connection through the same circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Tube Box S3 B be used with any turntable, not just Pro-Ject models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Tube Box S3 B includes a standard pair of RCA phono inputs that accepts the single-ended output of any turntable with a conventional RCA phono cable. The balanced 5-pin mini XLR input is designed for use with Pro-Ject True Balanced Connection turntables and compatible models from other brands that use the same connector standard. Both inputs can be connected simultaneously, with all gain and loading settings stored independently in memory for each. The RCA input delivers the full benefit of the tube gain stage and all front-panel loading adjustments regardless of whether a balanced turntable is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Pro-Ject Tube Box S3 B in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Tube Box S3 B is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Pro-Ject Audio Systems dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound can advise on cartridge matching, gain and loading settings, and how to integrate the Tube Box S3 B with both balanced and single-ended turntables and amplifiers from any brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I adjust the gain and loading settings on the Tube Box S3 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll cartridge loading and gain adjustments on the Tube Box S3 B are made using front-panel push buttons with LED indicator lights beside each setting. Impedance is selectable at 10, 50, 100, 1k, or 47k ohms for MC and MM cartridges respectively. Capacitance is selectable at 50, 150, 300, or 400 pF for MM cartridge optimisation. Gain is selectable at 40, 45, 60, or 65 dB, with the XLR outputs delivering an additional 6 dB on top of the selected setting. No dip switches, jumpers, or access to the interior of the unit are required. All settings for each input are stored in memory and restored automatically when switching between the two connected turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the ECC83 tubes in the Tube Box S3\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49040952000764,"sku":null,"price":899.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/TUBEBOXS3B-BLACKUNI_1.png?v=1777520104"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-and-wiim-streaming-bundle","title":"Pro-Ject and WiiM Streaming Bundle","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePro-Ject and WiiM Streaming Bundle at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject and WiiM Streaming Bundle is a complete plug-and-play hi-fi system available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, combining the \u003cstrong\u003ePro-Ject E1 Phono SE turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e with Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge, a pair of \u003cstrong\u003ePro-Ject Speaker Box 5 E bookshelf speakers\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eWiiM Amp streaming amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e, and Ultralink speaker cable into a single coordinated system that plays vinyl records and streams from Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and 20 or more services from the first day of ownership.
