Pro-ject thread (I can hear the groans already)

[plastic penguin]

Seems, recently at least, that Pro-ject has crawled, in the main, under the radar. Of course it doesn't have the kudos of some other TT makers - and it's made in the Czech Republic - but I'm more than chuffed with my TT. True it is only £200 jobbie and it's boring to look at but SQ is up there with the best in its price bracket.

Just a little Pro-ject recognition.

Staying out of this one!

Are you joking? Where have you been for the last ten years? Even Linn are using their 9cc tonearms.

A bit of catching up for you...

Nowt wrong with em PP , nowt wrong with Regas either if you like the sound ,which I dont but thats by the by.

Go up the ladder with Project to the Xtension 10 and you have a stonking TT arm combo for 2K. Trust me its ruddy good and looks the muts to boot.

Where Project are made dosnt come into the equation, a good deck is a good deck, and their quality is spot on. They may be under the radar on here but I wouldnt mind betting they out sell Regas by a country mile worldwide.

I did say "recently at least"

Can't think of anyone on this forum buying a pro-ject recently, even though I've been pushing the make over the past couple of weeks.

As I've just explained it is on this forum.

Hope not - you're of TT head than me. :cheers:

I must say the Xpression 10 looks the dogs bollocks

 

[floyd droid]

Eh ?.

 

[plastic penguin]

The Xtension does look the mutts....

No, Xpression III but not 10.

Anyhoo PP. The vast majority of regular posters on here who use a TT dont run a Project. So obv when a noob wants steering which way to go he/she is pointed towards tother company and in they dive , thus building up the numbers.

Easy wunnit.

Got my ancient Debut deck ages ago and it gets plenty of use every week! True it needs to be replaced soon but I suspect I will look higher up the Pro-Ject tree when the time comes. I actually really like the minimalist styling!

If you pop over to vinyl engine you will see project tweakers too, and thats true with most tt makes.

Also complaints too of various manufacturers. You hear more complaints than praise, because people like

to complain and are less likely to go out of there way to say 'wow that's brilliant'

It just seems on here Rega have a majority, not so else where.

My last TT was project and enjoyed it for over ten years.

Fancy a listen to ClearAudio tho and a Gyro.

Yeah but I've got two which makes up for it a bit. I don't agree with PP though, Pro-Ject are more than appreciated here IMO.

For Sale. Inspirequestregamishmash thingy.

Reason for Sale. See above ,lol.

Just joshing Mr Beau.

Indeed it does Sir. I've ponced the xtension 10 a couple of times off my mate,does that count ?.

I only said I fancied a listen, anyway if I sold it would get more for the parts.

 

[floyd droid]

Yeah probably would mate.

Listening to a well set up Gyro is not a good idea. So keep to fancieing ( is that a word ,lol )

How are you finding the new cart ?.

 

[stevebrock]

those blinking Gyrodec's dont half look nice! Could of got Techndeck for the price of my Rega with a decent arm

 

[floyd droid]

Told ya that earlier. Get yer flippin money back and buy a tecno. Or a s/h gyro. I will even try to find Lincoln and set it up for you.

Tecno is a breeze , Gyro needs attention to detail although not rocket science Steve. Centreing the suspension spring posts is the key and a bit of a faff.

But a man of your calibre should walk it and I save a fortune in the petrol dept.

 

[floyd droid]

PPs Project thread has now gone Michell

 

[stevebrock]

yeah i know now! I dont think I will get my money back, but at least get the RP6 sorted

 

[floyd droid]

Re Gyro. And getting the bounce correct , forgot that bit and couldnt edit ,lol.

Life sustaining solids time ,I'm out.
