Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth is the target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatter \u0026amp; sub-platter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heavy aluminum main platter construction utilizes advanced thermoplastic elastomers (TPE*) for optimizing resonance behavior. 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 coloration of the sound. The platter of The Classic Evo is precisely machined out of a special aluminum alloy again damped with TPE*, which offers special damping abilities. The main bearing construction Pro-Ject uses is a similar system as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Record player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diamond-cut precision alu sub-platter, like in the limited edition Vienna Philharmonic Record player, enables much improved tolerances. This extraordinarily sophisticated part is accurately machined and guarantees very good isolation between bearing noise and the platter itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew carbon\/aluminum tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe radical new designed Classic tonearm is the result of 25 years of experience in mechanical construction. The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and aluminium: carbon for stiffness and speed, alu for better damping. The bearing has been upgraded to the same type that is used on Pro-Ject's CC EVO tonearms. It facilitates frictionless vertical and horizontal movement, guaranteeing precise tracking across the entire duration of the record. The counterweight incorporates a TPE* damper which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%. As typical for Pro-Ject and absolutely not standard at that price range Pro-Ject offers also azimuth and VTA adjustment to use a variety of cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePro-Ject supplies as standard the Sumiko Moonstone phono cartridge. However, as the tonearm offers excellent damping and flexibility as well, its effective mass can be called middle heavy, so it is also a very good partner for MC cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond cut precision alu sub-platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved sandwich subchassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSumiko Moonstone cartridge pre-installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic speed control (33\/45 rpm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelt drive with electronic speed control 33\/45 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight adjustable decoupling feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision balanced TPE-damped aluminum-platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal\/MDF sandwich chassis floating on TPE suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9” carbon\/aluminum tonearm with MM \u0026amp; MC capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInverted EVO bearing design with four ABEC7 spec ballraces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArm bearing housing of solid ring type.
