BBZink Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Sorry for hacking my own thread, but Anyhow, price goes up on amazon.ca, this is how Canadian amazon work, so i'll guess i continue my search. Amazon Canada if full of overprice product compare to amazon.com. Lately we have mayfair that open in canada, but no pun intended, but they seem they may have more fair price... and to be more acurate price there. Amazon here, work like ebay in the old day, no control on price and manoeuvring to make you pay more than you should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 That's a problem with Amazon in general, and there are a lot of vendors, not just purchasing from Amazon. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_SS Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I bought one recently for 200. It’s a rebranded pro-ject primary. Very clean design, but I’m struggling with isolation. It’s very susceptible to vibration, footfalls, etc. note, the output cables are fixed and the wow/flutter is very noticeable isolate it and get the outboard power power supply to stabilized the rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My house was built in 1898 and has some pretty bouncy floors, but I can now do jumping jacks in front of my TT without issue. My TT lives on top of a 2x2 IKEA Kallax shelf, full of records. The shelf is sitting on 4 cork/rubber Wagner isolation pads. I also added some adhesive 50d sorbothane half spheres to replace the feet of my Kenwood KD-5077. Then placed the sorbothane feet on top of some Audio Technica AT-604 isolation feet (mainly need these for the height adjustment for my crooked floors). The AT feet alone were not enough damping for my situation. Note: sorbothane allegedly can stain some surfaces... It's all made huge differences for footfall and sound quality. Like I said: 180 lb 6'4" me can do jumping jacks in front of it without disrupting the play. Also running a record weight (helps with footfalls) and a Herbie's mat (definite SQ improvement - especially good for greatly reducing my beloved auto's drive noise).

Bob_SS Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Less than a month, I’m returning mine. The bearing has developed chatter so the platter growls!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_SS Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Tried contacting the seller, tried emailing pro-ject, tried calling pro-ject- nothing I cannot recommend this product, Amazon, or pro-ject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I assume you bought this new? I'm sure they'll get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Project entry level turntables are reputable to be one of the best bang for money, they are usually without flaws, but as in this case there could always be an exception. I suspect that Klipsch also knows that and would not partner with Pro-ject if this would be a bad product. Hope everything ends up well for you. And I would not so easily reject Pro-ject unless you have something else and probably more expensive in your mind already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_SS Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It was brand new and sealed. It was a gift I gave for Christmas . I’m sure Amazon will refund me even if the seller ghosts me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You should take a look at U-turn tables.....i thought pro-ject was good but now not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_SS Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I used to have an xpression mahogany, at $1000, it was perfect. the debut Carbon gets nothing but good press at $400. the $200 price point must be an issue for them. Problem is my gf loves that it has a klipsch decal on it. Maybe I’ll buy a decal and slap it on a rega planar 3 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont do it unless you like your stylus riding against one side of groove or the other. No adjustable anti skate. Probably not a issue unless you upgrade your cartridge. You'll need that anti skate adjustment then since your new cartridge will most likely weigh less or more than what came with it. I just bought a Pro Ject Carbon Esprit. Great table. Fully adjustable and with built in speed box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The Klipsch project review on amazon said it made clicking noise and i don't think it has anti skating either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
