Description

This package includes the Pro-Ject X8 Gloss Black turntable mounted with a Sumiko Blue Point No.3 Lo MC cartridge.

Depending on your phono preamplifier, you can choose the version compatible with it. This version is recommended for Hi-Fi systems equipped with a phono preamplifier compatible with low-output MC cartridges.

If your preamp is compatible with hight-output MC cartridges, you should choose the Hight Output version: Sumiko Blue Point No.3 Hi

This combination gives a more organic and smoother restitution than with Ortofon cartridges. We find all the characteristics and qualities of the Pro-Ject X8 turntable, with a gain in material and a more present and very realistic medium. This small coloration and coquetry is not without recalling the quality of the timbre of magnetic tapes.

It is possible to acquire this pack with a Pro-Ject X8 in another finish on request.
