ProJect Xtension 10 Turntable | Audio Emotion

Product Description

The Xtension 10 chassis is made from MDF filled with metal sand, that gives high mass and is non-resonant. Magnetic feet, which decouple the main plinth from its base, are combined with a weighty 22 kg total turntable mass. With these two magnets located in the feet, the turntable is practically floating.The result is a unique combination of mass loaded and floating turntable design principles. Instead of the old standard adoption of pure metal used for the main platter, Pro-Ject have found a perfect alloy which Pro-Ject damped on the inner side with Sorbothane®. Additionally Pro-Ject have glued recycled Vinyl records to the top (which act as a perfect mat) and bake this sandwich before precision balancing it. The final product subsequently benefits from a wonderfully resonance-free, heavy platter, that runs ultrasilently on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with magnetic suspension. The Pro-Ject 10 Evolution with its tonearm base also benefits from high-mass technologies, and is isolated from the main board by a sheet of Sorbothane®. To use this tonearm with a wide range of top quality phono cartridges, from 4 to 14 Grams it comes with a set of 4 different Sorbothane®- damped counterweights.

Pro-Ject Audio Systems offers their high-end turntables with premium 5pin > RCA unbalanced arm cable or by request with premium balanced 5pin > XLR connection to Pro-Ject Phono Box RS preamplifier. Phono Box RS offers balanced phono inputs, what guarantees superior results in high-end vinyl reproduction with a balanced signal source.

NOTE: The signal source and the receiving device have to be equipped with balanced connections. Transmission of audio signals in a balanced mode reduce the influence of interference due to external stray electric fields significantly.

It comes down to this. The Xtension 10 plus switch-mode power supply was a good turntable. With the new power supply in place, the Xtension 10 is now an excellent turntable. Simple as that. That external power supply is critical, critical in the final performance quality of this design. It offers maturity and control. As such, the Xtension 10 emerges as a very real and recommended choice for anyone looking for a midrange turntable at this price point. It offers detail, clarity yet, with the new found bass control, a tonal balance that will suite all musical genres. The Xtension 10 is a serious player. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

About the brand

Pro-Ject Audio Systems was founded in 1990 in Vienna, Austria, by Heinz Lichtenegger - a young audio enthusiast who believed that analogue playback was the most cost-effective way to listen to music in audiophile quality.

Heinz’s belief in the importance of the turntable came to prominence during a time when vinyl was at death’s door - with the CD revolutionising the wider audio market. However, Heinz stood firm and argued the case for not only analogue replay - but also for the pride and sense of ownership and interaction you simply do not get with digital media. So with this belief, he produced his first turntable - the Pro-Ject 1.

The Pro-Ject 1 was a cost-effective true hi-fi turntable, made at a time when other manufacturers were reverting to cheap plastic alternatives in order to satisfy the dwindling demand. The 1 was made at Pro-Ject’s factory in the Czech Republic (SEV Litovel), at a time when the factory owner was just in the process of shutting down all turntable production. Heinz convinced the factory to make his products, and to this day the same factory is used to produce Pro-Ject’s extensive range of coveted hi-fi turntables.

From the Pro-Ject 1, all turntables - regardless of price - were made with the same basic principles:

Great Sound, Great Value, Ease of Use, Reliable Build
