Strictly Focused on the Sound of Vinyl Playback: Pro-Ject X1 Turntable Features Excellent Tracking, Quiet Operation, Push-Button Speed Control, and Olympia Phono Cartridge Discover the stunning tones, three-dimensional imaging, and thrilling dynamics embedded in the grooves of your favorite albums with the Pro-Ject X1 turntable .
