Review on Pro-Ject T1 Turntable (Satin Walnut) by Siu Kim ᠌

Feedback about the Pro-Ject T1 BT model. The difference from the Pro-Ject T1 is as follows: there is a phono stage and Bluetooth. I decided to make an old dream come true, for a long time I chose a high-quality device for a more or less average price based on reviews and reviews, and the choice fell on this model. I connected it with Edifier R2750DB speakers with a standard RCA cable, the sound is excellent as far as my non-audiophile nature. In general, many of the previously listed shortcomings are very subjective, but I decided to voice it. The player is almost perfect and suitable for all beginners. Why almost? Because Sony has 100% automatics, where even the tonearm does not need to be brought in, and upon completion of playback, it returns to the “zero” position. Yes, and switching speeds is more convenient there (not manual, as here). Still, I decided for myself that taking a full automatic is not an option, it’s boring, I want to feel like raising the tonearm, installing it over the plate, although I understand that over time I will want an automatic. Plus, it's ready to go right out of the box. No need to bother with adjusting the tonearm and counterweight, set the needle straight. The only thing you need to do is throw the rubber ring on the subdisk, then carefully without twisting, throw it on the pulley of the desired speed (33 turns narrow roller, 45 turns wider), put the platter, put a coating on it, do not forget to remove the transport clamp from the tonearm, put down the plate. That's it, then the protective cap with the needle down, move the tonearm to the beginning of the plate, turn on and lower the game. It may seem long and tedious for some, but believe me, it's quite simple. When removing the platter (to change the speed), you need to hold the shaft of the sub-platter, otherwise it strives to get out together with the platter. What upset me the most was this set. In the middle model Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB there is an RCA adapter - mini jack 3.5 and a key for manual safe switching of rotation speed, if I don’t really need the first one, then I definitely wouldn’t have the second one.
