Pro-Ject 6 PerspeX SB

Note: the included cartridge has changed since Kevin’s video. The SuperPack now includes the Sumiko Amethyst (a $599 value!)

 

The Pro-Ject 6 PerspeX SB is constructed using a visually stunning, clear acrylic plinth. Floating above the plinth is a sophisticated sub-chassis system made of Corian® suspended by three height adjustable opposing magnetic fields. Additional features include: a bonded MDF platter with vinyl mat, a threaded record clamp, and adjustable cone feet.

A new 9″ tonearm, the 9cc Evolution, incorporates a conical carbon fiber arm tube with integrated headshell made of a single piece of carbon fiber and new ultra-rigid bearing assembly to give the customer the ability to use more massive and lower compliant moving coil cartridges. Female chassis mount RCA connectors on the rear panel allow for the use of any single ended interconnect cables.
