Introduction

In this Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT Turntable Review, our audiophile team at The Audio Tailor dives deep into a deck that strikes the perfect balance between performance, aesthetics and convenience. Featuring premium materials like a CNC-machined plinth and zero-resonance glass platter, plus modern Bluetooth® aptX™ HD streaming and an onboard phono stage, the T1 Evo BT delivers true high-fidelity vinyl enjoyment without breaking the bank.

Elegant Design Meets Solid Engineering

The T1 Evo BT’s plinth is precision-CNC-machined from a single block, with no plastic parts and no hollow cavities to compromise rigidity. Available in High-Gloss Black, Satin White or rich Walnut, each finish is free of unwanted resonance. The heavy, 8 mm-thick blasted-glass platter adds mass and damping, while purpose-chosen feet isolate the chassis from external vibrations. The result is a rock-steady turntable foundation that lets your records sing with clarity and dynamics.

Precision Performance & Feature Set

Underneath the hood, Pro-Ject’s belt-drive motor whirs against a larger sub-platter, mounted on a 0.001 mm-tolerance main bearing with a stainless-steel axle and brass bushing. Speed changes between 33⅓ and 45 RPM are handled electronically for rock-solid rotational stability (0.7 % / 0.6 % variance), while wow & flutter sits at an impressive 0.25 % / 0.23 %.

The one-piece, 8.6″ aluminium tonearm features low-friction bearings and an integrated headshell to eliminate extraneous resonances. Pre-fitted with an Ortofon OM10 Moving Magnet cartridge (elliptical diamond stylus), the T1 Evo BT captures detail, texture and musical nuance with ease.
