I am using an Emotiva TA-100 amplifier and a couple of"modified myself" Dayton Audio MK442 monitors with a subwoofer. I also have an acrylic mat which improves sound. The version of the T1 I am using is the bare basic model. The REAL glass platter (something you find on Rega turntables) improves sound quality by using the weight to stabilize speed and the viscus liquid of the glass creates an excellent vibration and reflection reducer found on more expensive turntables. Do not be fooled by it's thin appearance. It has plenty of control to create a virtual silent noise floor.
The sub-platter uses anti-vibration materials and reinforced ridges and contacts the glass plate on the edges to further reduce vibration transfer. Micro density fiberboard (MDF) plinth has minimal holes and the sub-platter rests on a brass bearing and the sleeve has a 0.0001 inch tolerance. (Setting the sub-platter spindle down into the sleeve actually holds air pressure as is sets into place and you have to wait for the air pressure to release before it sets down completely. That's HOW precise it is!
The cables that come with it are not cheap. They are low resistance gauge quality cables. An alignment protractor and stylus tracking force scale comes with it, just incase you want to fiddle with it, but the turntable should come aligned and tracking force set at factory. In honestly, mine came NOT set. No big deal to me because I was going to check it anyway... just to make sure.
The tone arm has brass bearings. And they are feather lite with no resistance. But, the strange thing is there is no anti-skating adjustment. The tone arm is actually optimized not to skate. (That is what most people are saying. There is no counteractive force stopping the centripetal force from happening, but uses a drop a down weight. This causes the balancing point on the rack and pinion bearings to be slightly behind the fulcrum reducing the centripetal force.
(Don't believe me?)
Tie a nut to some fishing line. Make a loop on a piece of thin stiff wire and stick the bottom of it on the plinth with some putty on an angle so the loop is sticking up. Loop one end of the fishing line, put it through the wire loop and attach it onto the head shell and place the nut on a digital scale. Let the needle drop onto an acrylic mat (you can do that without damaging the record) and measure the force when the string stops the tone arm and tightens the string. It came out to 0.04 grams of centripetal force at 2 grams of tracking force on the stock om5e.
The Om is a cartridge that is a superior tracker providing above average ability to stay in the groove. Testing with headphones I found no customary distortion caused by excess centripetal force riding the inner groove. It does what it is supposed to do. Now damage to the record is another story. It won't stop skipping from damage. But even if you tried to use more force if you could... it would cause distortion.
All in all, after checking it all out the sound quality of the Pro-Ject T1 is fantastic as long as you have equipment to allow it produce what it can give you and since other turntables that use real glass platters can cost twice as much, I believe the T1 is the best value and is built to do the job!

P.S. this turntable does not have an auto-return/auto-stop feature and you have to manually adjust the belt to switch the speed from 45 to 33 or vice versa.

Fais le travail à coup sûr.
..sin embargo no pienso arrisgarme nuevamente. Ire por una Audio technica LP120XUB con la aguja esplendida audio technica 95E
I was very impressed that there was virtually no setup needed. The cartridge and counterweight were already installed and adjusted. It was the Bluetooth connection I was worried about. I turned on the BT transmitter on the deck on and set the input source on my sound bar and in a few seconds “PING” they had found each other and were connected…phew.
Sound wise everything is perfect for what I want. I use Ortofon cartridges on my Technics SL-1200’s so I knew all about them. The BT connection fires up every time and there has been no drop-out so far (which was my problem with the Audio Technica).
The reason I didn’t give it a 5-star rating is for two reasons. On some older, less than pristine, records there has been some skipping. This’ll be because the arm and counterweight on this turntable are very light compared to my SL-1200’s (nothing skips on them !) but this is something I expected so not a deal breaker for me. Secondly if you plan on playing LP's and singles (33rpm and 45rpm records) the way you change the speed on this deck is a complete pain in the derriere ! You have to remove the turntable and move the drive belt to another position on it's spindle to change the speed. I now only play LP's (33rpm) on this deck as it's just too much hassle changing speeds.
All in all a good piece of kit (with those minor caveats) at a decent price that suits what I want.
Amazing deck and the sound is incredible! It’s really worth every penny!!!
