Turntable main plinth is from low resonance MDF, which effectively is decoupled from structure-born noise by special absorber feet, that use TPE technology. Platter bearing axle is made from low tolerance chrome plated stainless steel running on Teflon bottom in a bronze bearing housing. Advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) are used in a sandwich construction with aluminium alloy for optimised resonance behaviour.

The complex main platter construction cannot be found elsewhere in this price range and is similar to the Xtension models.
#Project carbon pro generator#
The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling, ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability. The Project RPM 1 carbon is a great turntable after a few modifications, its better considered the barebones PROJECT (pun intended :) ) I 'improved' it with a plexiglass plinth mounted on vibrapods (total 50 dollars) and swiped the so-so Sumiko Pearl cartridge for an extraordinary Ortofon 2m black. It`s new innovative gimbal design features a resonance damping counterweight, that allows best performance for any cartridge. No other entry-level turntable concept is more audiophile and the current version includes a totally new carbon tone-arm with spin-off „EVO“-technology.

1Xpression Carbon Classic is the 6th generation of the hi-fi classic Pro-Ject 1, which was presented for the first time in 1991.
