Pro-Ject X8 Evolution Turntable
A mass-loaded belt-drive with true balanced connection. Handmade in the EU.
The most affordable of Pro-Ject’s mass-loaded line, the X8 offers a heavy, TPE-damped platter that has been precision lathed from a single block of aluminum, and is finely balanced. The platter sits on a ceramic-tipped bearing and the load on the point is reduced using a neodymium magnet, resulting in extremely low friction and world-class speed stability.
The X8 has inherited the massive MDF chassis and the top-of-the-line Pro-Ject 9cc EVO carbon tonearm from its larger siblings. The height-adjustable feet are from machined aluminum, and their TPE damping technology effectively decouples the X8.
True Balanced Connection
The X8 is the first of Pro-Ject’s True Balanced Connection components. A balanced connection from turntable to phonostage helps to drastically reduce induced noise from Wi-Fi and phone networks, preventing it from becoming a part of the amplified signal. Note that the stock X8 comes with a semi-balanced connector, (five-pin to RCA), but a separately purchased five-pin to XLR will let you connect to balanced phonostages. This will give you better dynamics, less noise, and far greater signal-to-noise ratios.
