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.

  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.

  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.
