Just One for sale-No original box – as spec -low pricePro-Ject Essential III Turntable Please click here for a 5* review from What HiFi on the Project Essential turntable. This review covers both the Essential MK111 and the Essential MK111ADESIGNThe Essential III retains the simple yet elegant frame of the Essential II. Made from high-quality MDF for its acoustically neutral character, and now wrapped in a high-gloss paint finish (available in red, white or black); the main structure combines both elegance and functionality. The plinth is then mounted on three anti-vibration feet, for effective decoupling from the surface on which the turntable is placed.One notable upgrade from the Essential II is the new gloss MDF platter which is anti-resonant and acoustically neutral in its performance. The platter uses a stainless steel bearing in a bronze bushing with Teflon-lined bottom for liquid-smooth rotation. The overall sound result is an open, exciting sound that arrives at a foot-tapping tempo.MOTORThe Essential III uses the same 9V motor as its predecessor, but its also the first to use a new integrated grounding link that dramatically reduces electrical interference to unprecedented low levels. The motor is a premium, synchronous AC design thats driven by a built-in signal generator, ensuring optimal speed stability and minimal resonances. The brand new aluminium pulley improves the performance and the appearance even further still.THE TONEARMThe Essential III is pre-fitted with an 8.6 aluminium tonearm for its lightweight, rigid characteristics. The gimbal bearing assembly uses sapphire bearings to allow for smooth tracking across a record, and the supplied counterweight allows for a variety of premium pick-up cartridges to be installed. The tonearm is supplied with an Ortofon OM 10 cartridge installed. Superior to the Essential IIs OM 5E cartridge, the OM 10 uses an elliptical profile and precision micro-mechanics to deliver a nice, full soundstage with plenty of impact.KEY FEATURES:HiBelt drive mechanism with silicone beltLow vibration synchronous motorIntegrated motor control with DC power supply secures silent runningMain platter bearing made from stainless steel runs in bronze bushing with Teflon bottom8.6″ aluminium tonearm with sapphire bearingsFactory fitted Ortofon OM10 cartridgePre-mounted gold-plated RCA interconnect cableSpecial turntable feet for effective decouplingLid includedThe Essential III is a significant step forward for vinyl enthusiasts on a budget.
