Superlative vinyl performance from a compact luxurious turntable/arm configuration!
Xtension 9 Evolution incorporates all of Pro-Ject’s turntable design experience from more than 20 years in a slim-line size, to fit standard audio racks. Xtension 9 chassis is made from MDF filled with metal granulate, that gives high mass and is non-resonant.
Magnetic feet, which decouple the main plinth from its base, are combined with a weighty 16kg total turntable mass. The result is a unique combination of ‘mass loaded’ and ‘floating turntable’ design principles. Instead of pure metal for the main platter, Pro-Ject found a perfect alloy which they have damped on with thermo plastic elastomers (TPE).
Additionally, they glue recycled Vinyl records to the top (which act as a perfect mat) and bake this ‘sandwich’ before precision balancing it. The final product subsequently benefits from a wonderfully resonance-free, heavy platter, that runs ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with magnetic suspension.
Pro-Ject Xtension 9 Evolution includes a top-class high-end tonearm 9cc Evolution and comes complete with a beautiful dust cover. 3 different high gloss lacquer finish options are available: mahogany, piano, olive, red and white.
