Compared to the old Classic, Pro-Ject have improved the subchassis by making it heavier and stiffer to reduce resonances.

Key Features:

  • Diamond cut precision alu sub-platter
  • Improved sandwich subchassis
  • Ortofon Quintet Red cartridge pre-installed
  • Electronic speedcontrol (33/45 rpm)
  • Belt drive with electronic speed control 33/45 rpm
  • Height adjustable decoupling feet
  • Precision balanced TPE*-damped aluminium-platter
  • Metal/MDF sandwich chassis floating on TPE* suspension
  • 9” carbon/aluminium tonearm with MM & MC capability
  • Inverted EVO bearing design with four ABEC7 spec ballraces
  • Arm bearing housing of solid ring type. The massive outside ring is open to avoid resonances
  • Azimuth and VTA fully adjustable
  • TPE damped counterweight
  • Classic wooden chassis in 2 satin finishes (walnut, eucalyptus)
  • Dustcover included

The heavy aluminium main platter construction utilises advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE*) for optimising resonance behaviour.

A drawback for most of the old designs was the platter. Casted platters all have been heavy (which is good for speed constancy and low wow and flutter) but suffered very much from ringing effects which again caused colouration of the sound. The platter of The Classic Evo is precisely machined out of a special aluminium alloy again damped with TPE*, which offers special damping abilities. The main bearing construction used is a similar system as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer.
