Pro-ject The Classic EVO Turntable

Compared to the old Classic, Pro-Ject improved the subchassis; they tried to make it heavier and stiffer to reduce resonances. Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth is the target.

Platter & sub-platter

The heavy aluminum main platter construction utilizes advanced thermoplastic elastomers (TPE*) for optimizing resonance behavior. A drawback for most of the old designs was the platter. Casted platters all have been heavy (which is good for speed constancy and low wow and flutter) but suffered very much from ringing effects which again caused coloration of the sound. The platter of The Classic Evo is precisely machined out of a special aluminum alloy again damped with TPE*, which offers special damping abilities. The main bearing construction Pro-Ject uses is a similar system as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Record player.

The diamond-cut precision alu sub-platter, like in the limited edition Vienna Philharmonic Record player, enables much improved tolerances. This extraordinarily sophisticated part is accurately machined and guarantees very good isolation between bearing noise and the platter itself.

New carbon/aluminum tonearm

The radical new designed Classic tonearm is the result of 25 years of experience in
