Review on Pro Ject X1WAL X1 Turntable Walnut by Trang Bach ᠌
The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.
The main criterion for a vinyl player is to spin discs stably without errors and vibrations, with which this unit does an excellent job. I don’t have the opportunity to measure the rotation error at speeds of 33 and 45 due to the lack of this experience, however, I don’t hear any deviations in the sound when playing one song both on vinyl and digitally on a PC. I use a turntable with a Pro-Ject Phono Box DS2 phono stage, an Ortofon 2M-Black pickup and Klipsch The Fives acoustics - the flight is excellent. The speakers produce excellent clear sound. I can safely recommend this player to those who have already started to join vinyl on budget models and to those who want a new experience. Setting up a vinyl player is for some a separate form of art and enjoyment (I will not describe how to do this, there are separate guides on the Internet, I can only wish you good luck and strong nerves).
- Possibility of detailed and, in principle, simple settings of the player; damped motor drive; massive acrylic platter; easy height adjustment of the legs; switching speed from 33 to 45 by pressing a button; the ability to set the speed to 78 with an additional complete belt (which has a round cross section); excellent complete RCA cables with ground terminal; massive; relative compactness; the presence of a dust cover; the presence of a felt mat, which can not be used; the presence of a speed switch key (which, in principle, is not needed here); other useful equipment (template for setting up a pickup, an adapter for records with a large central hole); clear instructions with high-quality illustrations; flashing speed indicators show the moment of engine spin-up; thick MDF table material.
- Inconvenient adjustment of the height of the tonearm; three options for setting anti-skating (with hanging weight); downforce gradation is indicated with a large error (it is desirable to adjust downforce with electronic scales); when fully closed, the lid touches the balance weight of the tonearm, from which the opposite end of the tonearm with the pickup rises and because of this it is impossible to listen to records with the lid closed (few people do this in practice, but I warn you).
