Review on πŸ”΄ High-Performance Pro-Ject RPM 1 Carbon Manual Turntable in Stunning Red Finish: Unrivalled Audio Experience by Tim Burns

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good product

Nice turntable. I like the minimalistic approach here, love the combination of Sumiko Pearl tonearm and cartridge. Like all turntables they have their pros and cons but for the asking price I am very happy with my purchase and would heartily recommend this one. In operation it is relatively quiet. I find it genuinely ridiculous that such a good thing doesn't come with a dust cover, something I knew and it's a small offense given the quality of this player. Give Sumiko Pearl a little break, I read 20 to 50 hours. In any case, I like the overall sound shown here very much. Oddly enough I went back to using my old 1979 Pioneer SX 680 receiver with this table and it sounded better than the NAD it had previously gone through. Will switch to a leather mat and also Ortofon Blue when the money comes in.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
