Pro-Ject Audio A1 Automatic Turntable

The pinnacle of turntable design Handmade in Germany by a traditional manufacturer with a wealth of experience in making automatic turntables, the new Pro-Ject AUTOMAT series of turntables are the new pinnacle of automatic turntable design.  AUTOMAT technology The A1 has a fully-automatic start-and-stop with the automatic mechanism being completely disengaged and decoupled during the entire runtime of the record. The fully mechanical automatics are engaged when you press start, and the tonearm is automatically moved to the lead-in groove of the record. Once playing, the automatics are completely taken out of the equation and do not affect the playback quality – the free movement of the tonearm and platter – at all. Ultra-light-mass aluminum tonearm The A1 features an 8.3” ultra-light-mass aluminum tonearm. Together with the Ortofon OM10, the A1 exhibits extraordinarily fast response and detail in terms of transients and microdynamics.  Carbon fiber reinforced anti-magnetic headshell T
