The Pro-Ject 1Xpression Carbon Classic TT features a belt-driven design with a synchronous motor and stainless steel main bearing. Its 8.6" carbon Evo tonearm provides low resonance, paired with an Ortofon 2M Silver moving magnet cartridge for detailed audio reproduction. The heavy steel sandwich platter with TPE damping technology minimizes resonance, while special decoupling feet reduce acoustic feedback.
