ℹ Product Information

Pro-Ject Classic Evo Turntable Fitted with the Ortofon 2M Silver MM cartridge

Behold the pinnacle of audio perfection – The Pro-Ject Classic Evo Turntable. Designed with a perfect blend of sophistication and high-performance technology, this groundbreaking turntable effortlessly catapults vinyl to new sound highs. Packed with advanced features, the Classic Evo captures every nuance of your LP's sound with crystal-clear accuracy.

Crafted with perfection, the Classic Evo showcases a diamond cut precision alu sub-platter, a 33/45 rpm electronic speed control system, and adjustable decoupling feet. Its meticulously designed 9” carbon/aluminium tonearm has MM & MC capability, encapsulating the paramount of precision in sound accretion. Fashioned with a sturdy, classic wooden chassis available in exquisite satin finishes of walnut and eucalyptus - it amalgamates timeless style with peak performance. A sleek dust cover adds to the immense appeal of this stylish turntable.

The Classic Evo draws from the fruitful experience gleaned from our EISA award-winning The Classic and our iconic 175 VPO, blending design ideas to create a visually stunning and acoustically superior product. In this model, we've further improved the sandwich subchassis and pioneered important performance features, unheard of in this price range. The platter of the Classic Evo, made from special aluminium alloy damped with TPE*, minimizes resonance, thereby enhancing the clarity of the sound. Coupling this with an upgraded bearing similar to the one on our Vienna Philharmonic Record player, we've achieved an unmatched level of isolation between bearing noise and the platter. The tonearm, designed with 25 years of mechanical construction experience, ensures precise tracking across the record, reducing the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by a staggering 50%.

The Pro-Ject Classic Evo Turntable is, without doubt, a game-changer in the world of sound – the perfect blend of form, function and unparalleled fidelity.

Features:

  1. Diamond Cut Precision Alu Sub-platter: Minimizes resonance, improving sound clarity and quality.

  2. Improved Sandwich Subchassis: Reinforced design reduces resonances, isolating the platter and tonearm from unwanted motor and main plinth vibration.

  3. Electronic Speed Control (33/45 rpm): Offers effortless song-playing at two different speeds with the simple push of a button.

  4. Belt Drive with Electronic Speed Control: Delivers smooth operation with reduced vibration and improved turntable performance.

  5. Height Adjustable Decoupling Feet: Versatile customization allowing decoupling from the surface to reduce unwanted vibrations.

  6. Precision Balanced TPE-Damped Aluminium-Platter: Designed with advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) to optimize resonance behaviour.

  7. 9” Carbon/Aluminium Tonearm: A solid combination providing stiffness and speed alongside optimal damping.

  8. MM & MC Capability: Allows a wider range of cartridges to be used, offering enhanced sound quality.

  9. Inverted EVO Bearing Design: Enhanced with four ABEC7 spec ball races for increased stability and smooth operation.

  10. Classic Wooden Chassis: Adds an essence of timeless elegance, available in walnut and eucalyptus satin finishes.

  11. Dust Cover: Protects the turntable from dust accumulation, maintaining aesthetic appeal and functionality.

Benefits:

  1. Superior Sound Quality: Advanced features capture every nuance of your vinyl's sound, offering crystal-clear audio.

  2. Sleek Design: Blends technical precision with classic aesthetic to complement any decor.

  3. Ease of Use: Built-in electronic speed change for quick switch between 33 to 45 rpm enhances your listening experience.

  4. Fluent Movement: Upgraded bearing similar to the Vienna Philharmonic Record player ensures frictionless vertical and horizontal movement.

  5. Customizable Tracking Force: Allows comfortable and bespoke positioning for the needle in the record groove, enabling a variety of cartridges usage.

  6. Vibration Reduction: The Classic Evo isolates the platter and tonearm from motor vibrations which enhances the clarity of sound reproduction.

  7. Durability: Crafted to perfection with top-tier material, this turntable guarantees long-lasting use.

  8. Amplitude Reduction: TPE* damper reduces the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%, ensuring better performance and sound quality.

  9. Standby Power Consumption: The Classic Evo ensures energy efficiency with <0.5 watt usage in standby mode, helping in long-term cost-saving.

  10. Variety of Accessories: The package comes inclusive of 15 volts DC / 0.8A power supply, a dust cover thereby offering a complete user-friendly experience.

Immerse yourself in the realms of crystal clear sound and supreme mechanical design, allowing the revival of musical nostalgia with the Pro-Ject Classic Evo Turntable.

Sound quality is excellent for the price, having demo'd others in the price range. Running over wifi it is solid, no drop outs, same with Bluetooth. Streams Spotify, Qobuz, iHeartRadio sources with built in services, and Listnr by Bluetooth. Playback from NAS is good once it indexes the files, and no issues with FLAC, ALAC, AAC files at all. Gapless playback as well which is nice. Hopefully it will also support new Spotify Hi Res being released shortly. So far has already received 1 update and my 1 query to Marantz support here in Aus was responded to next business day, so good support which is important to me. Heos app is a bit clunky but functional. Haven't tried Room yet but was demo'd with Room so it's compatible. Dirac is option I haven't tried yet - requires license purchase - presently very happy with sound quality through my Kef stand mounts in my living room. No front display, all control by app, just volume and pause/play buttons on the unit itself. No IR remote, however can learn any remote if needed. Haven't tried HDMI but it is supported including CEC. It's only a small unit, looks tiny in the rack having replaced a larger amp, dac and laptop source. AC power direct into it so it doesn't need a lot of room. I like my music around 75+dB and when driving it doesn't get hot, just a little warm, plenty of power for my needs. The team at The Audio Tailor were excellent, laid back, no pressure, honest opinions and able to demo lots of devices. Highly recommend giving them a go.

He invested a considerable amount on PS Audio pre-amp and monoblocks streaming music through a Terminator DAC. This motivated me to buy these speakers once I retired and a month ago they arrived. Having seen them before, I was not surprised by the size of the boxes that were delivered and I was impressed with the packing and foam bracing that insured they arrived in perfect shape. The walnut piano finish makes them look special and I think that most people need to be visually impressed by a purchase of this expense (almost $15K), even before they are located in your listening room and connected. Now my stereo system is in no way as impressive, constituting a Willsenton R8 Tube amplifier, an Eversolo DAC Z8 fed off a Denon DVD A11 SACD/CD player which by itself until now, had been my 2nd largest audio purchase at just over $4K back in 2004. I'd purchased a NAIM Superuniti streamer, DAC, integrated amplifier for over $4,400, but it resides in the lounge room feeding a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30 speakers that up until now had been my favourite speakers. My wife and I had previously invested more into our Home Theatre set-ups with Yamaha Aventage C5100 preamp and M5000 amplifier (purchased secondhand) with an OPPO 4K Blu Ray player in one room feeding B&W 804 D3 front speakers, a B&W Centre and CCM683 Atmos ceiling speakers with Dynaudio SR rear speakers in the Theater/Listening room. In the Lounge room we have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A3080 AV Receiver fed off an OPPO Blu Ray player with the B&W 700 D2 front speakers, Richter Centre and Rear speakers with a Richter ODIN subwoofer. While I love the Elysian 4 speakers, I can't help but think I need a more powerful Integrated Amp to bring out the best in them. Any suggestions?
