{"product_id":"pro-ject-t2-hi-fi-turntable-63zcu5","title":"Pro-Ject T2 Hi-Fi Turntable","description":"\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"html\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col_narrow\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eTop-Quality Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe elegantly crafted CNC-machined plinth has been expanded in size to enhance stability \u0026amp; tonearm geometry. Available in 3 striking finishes (gloss black, satin white or Walnut laminate), no plastic is used in its construction! Also free of resonant hollow spaces, it effectively prevents unwanted vibration within the chassis. Compared to the T1, the glass platter is thicker \u0026amp; heavier which ensures a zero-resonance design that eliminates the shortcomings associated with plastic or cheap steel alternatives. Purpose-selected turntable feet effectively isolate the T2 from ambient vibrations in the vicinity of your hi-fi system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eSpeed Control, Motor \u0026amp; Drive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe T2’s motor and drive system remain identical to those found in the T1. The motor drives the flat belt that in turn drives the anti-resonant sub-platter. The sub-platter is mounted to an ultra-precise main bearing comprised of a hardened steel axle in brass bushing (machined to a tolerance of 0.001mm!). Where most alternative products use unregulated DC motors with wide speed fluctuations, the T2 uses Pro-Ject's electronically-regulated precision-speed AC motor. Electronic speed change between 33 and 45rpm is accessible with the rocker switch as well! All told, it’s a highly-stable \u0026amp; ultra-low-noise drive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eTonearm \u0026amp; Anti-Skating\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe T2’s tonearm has been improved for better cartridge geometry. Still a one-piece aluminum design, its effective length improves to 9″. It adds an updated low-friction bearing to accommodate the increased length and diameter for absolute accuracy in use. Aside from clean aesthetics, the integrated headshell is a key player in minimizing armtube resonance (bonded headshells have adverse effects in terms of resonance). The T2 also features user-friendly spring-based anti-skating for fast and accurate setup. Since the Sumiko Rainier is factory-aligned with the tracking force set, simply turn the wheel to your desired value and you’re done with tonearm adjustments!\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eSumiko Rainier MM Phono Cartridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe T2 includes the acclaimed high-value Sumiko Rainier MM phono cartridge which synergizes beautifully with the sonic characteristics of the turntable. The cartridge is factory-aligned with the tracking force set! Remember that the Rainier can be easily upgraded to the Olympia, Moonstone or Wellfleet with the simple swap of a stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eSemi-Balanced Phono Cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLike the T1, the T2 Super Phono is topped-off with shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables purpose-designed by Pro-Ject for use with turntables. Pro-Ject also includes an acrylic dust cover with adjustable hinges for your convenience. Everything you need is in the box and can be assembled in minutes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eTrue Balanced Capable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe T2 uses gold-plated RCA outputs that are wired symmetrically (aka ‘balanced’) in the RCA junction box. Like any other Pro-Ject turntable with RCA phono outputs, it can be run balanced with the appropriate cartridge, cable \u0026amp; phono preamp. This means by upgrading to a MC cartridge or Pro-Ject's Pick it PRO Balanced (our specially designed balanced MM cartridge), any of their balanced phono stages as well as a balanced connecting cable, you can capitalize on the advantages Pro-Ject's True Balanced Connection has to offer. Audibly this amounts to less noise, greater dynamics, clearer transients and an overall more immersive experience!\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFactory-aligned Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge ($149 value)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh-precision 9″ one-piece aluminum tonearm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLarger chassis for optimal tonearm geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e10mm, 1.7kg zero-resonance tempered glass platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSpring-based anti-skating (no hanging weight!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated counterweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eElectronic speed regulation \u0026amp; switching (33\/45rpm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDesigned \u0026amp; built with no resonant hollow spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVibration-absorbing isolation feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSemi-symmetrical phono cable gold-plated connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAcrylic dustcover with adjustable hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAvailable in gloss black, satin white or walnut laminates\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHandmade in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pro-Ject","offers":[{"title":"Piano Black","offer_id":45320014102551,"sku":"PRO:T2-GB","price":97.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Walnut","offer_id":45320014135319,"sku":"PRO:T2-WAL","price":97.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin White","offer_id":45320014200855,"sku":"PRO:T2-SW","price":97.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0639\/6439\/files\/ovaglx1u2j22_6bcc55dc-3318-4d48-b29c-02588a611b70.jpg?v=1784656342","url":"https:\/\/audiodvice.shop\/products\/pro-ject-t2-hi-fi-turntable-63zcu5","provider":"Wild Fern Baby Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
