SOUND & VISION Festival - Pro-Ject
What can you expect to see from Pro-Ject at the upcoming SOUND & VISION Festival at AudioTrends, Melbourne May 29th - 31st?
Pro-Ject Audio has been reviving music since 1990. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, at a time when European factories were closing in droves, founder Heinz Lichtenegger went against the herd and bought a turntable factory in the small Czech town of Litovel. Retaining the experienced staff and re-imagining classic minimal turntable designs they went to work constructing low cost, design-oriented turntables that would help people rediscover music the way it should be.
Pro-Ject's number one selling turntable, the Debut Carbon DC, has won almost every turntable award in it's category and for good reason. It features a range of technology, style and importantly sound quality attributes usually unheard in it's price range.
Pro-Ject will also be showing off the popular 1 Xpression Carbon Classic which features the exclusive to Pro-Ject Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge, a two piece platter, VTA adjustable tonearm and a range of finishes including Mahogany, Olive, gloss white and piano black.
The star of the room though will undoubtedly be the Xtension 9. EISA recently awarded this turntable best analogue source of 2014 and for good reason. This 16kg mass loaded turntable looks and sounds the goods and will undoubtedly impress. It will feature one of the recently revived Kiseki new stock moving coil cartridges based on the Japanese classics from the '70s.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
