An affordable, reliable turntable
The Pro-Ject E1 is built to last. It boasts a rigid, lightweight tonearm, a vibration-damping silicone drive belt, and a solid base that rests on vibration-absorbing feet. A pre-mounted Ortofon OM 5e cartridge is included, and tracking force and anti-skating are pre-set at the factory, so you can get set up and start playing records quickly. And you can switch from 33-1/3 to 45 RPM electronically, without having to make manual belt adjustments.
