Description

In the wake of the success of its flagship product the X-Tension 12, Pro-Ject has developed a more affordable version with a smaller footprint! This new Pro-Ject X-Tension 10 Evo turntable mainly departs from the former model by the size of its plinth that has been reduced thanks to the use of a 10" tonearm instead of the 12" inch counterpart fitted to its elder sister.

Tonearm aside, it has the same features of the X-Tension.

Pro-Ject X-Tension 10 Evo: plinth

The MDF lacquered plinth is damped and weighted with ceramic balls. It is amazingly rigid and weighs 20 kg!

It rests on four aluminium feet isolated by magnetic repulsion. Impressive and amazingly effective!

Pro-Ject X-Tension 10 Evo: platter and motor

The platter of this Pro-Ject turntable is crafted in a single aluminium alloy block on which LPs have been pressed. To ward off resonance, a damping ring is affixed to the inner edge. It weighs approximately 10 kg for a perfect inertia. The inverted bearing rests on a ceramic ball, milled to perfection.

The parts are driven by a silicone belt via the edge of the platter, driven in turn by a synchronous motor controlled by a speed controller. It generates a good current and a stable frequency (50 Hz). This is a prerequisite to guarantee a steady speed and low wow.

Pro-Ject X-Tension 10 Evo: tonearm

The "little" Pro-Ject X-Tension 10 comes as standard with the great Pro-Ject 10CC Evolution tonearm. It consists of a single piece of carbon, more rigid than steel and lighter for a tonearm of this length, i.e. less than 9 g!  

This tonearm is equipped with a standard 123 cm Pro-Ject Connect It 5P-E phono cable.

Pro-Ject X-Tension 10 Evo: listening and review

We tried this vinyl turntable with an Ortofon CADENZA BLUE MC cartridge and a Dynavector DV20X2H High Output MC cartridge, paired with a Sutherland preamplifier.

On playback, we get a combination of Pro-Ject's two products. It is half way between the great RPM 10 Evo and the amazing X-Tension 12 Evo. It features the distinctive dynamics and articulation of these products.

The fluidity is also good, neatly underlining the emotion in the music. The vocals are amazing, vibrant and perfectly in place. The level of transparency is excellent, even though it is not as expressive as other competitor turntables.

The sonic performance of this X-Tension 10 Evo is both suave and very rich. But the sound is not dull and dark! It's quite the opposite. The reverberations are very authentic and the cymbals reach a very high pitch without any harshness.

This Pro-Ject X-Tension 10 Evo turntable is ideal for record and analogue lovers. If you're looking for a turntable that will play your LPs like a CD, then this Pro-Ject turntable is not for you … Otherwise, you won't resist it when you try it once!

PARFAIT

Après une mauvaise expérience via Leboncoin et des conseils qui m'ont sauvé d'une grosse bêtise, les équipes de Franck et Jérôme m'ont orientées vers cette fameuse Pro-Ject X-tension 10 et quel bonheur ! Un superbe objet pour un super son...
A recommander très chaleureusement

Très bon service

La couleur diffère légèrement de celle perçue en photo, à part ça service excellent (conseils dans le choix du produit, tests effectués avant l’envoi), envoie rapide et efficace. A recommander sans hésiter!

Incroyable !!

J’ai fait l’acquisition de cette platine en remplacement de ma 6perspect. Associée à la cellule MC Hana ML et au preampli phono Vida. : La claque !!! Je redécouvre mes vinyles. La scène sonore est large, on entend toutes les subtilités de la musique. C’est dynamique. Tout est à sa place. La qualité de fabrication est exceptionnelle. Un grand merci à franck et à toute l’équipe pour les précieux conseils, et la préparation de la platine.

Xtension 10

Beaucoup de réflexion avant l'achat de cette platine.
je possédais une Clearaudio Emotion Limited avec cellule Hana EL
j'étais pleinement satisfait de cette platine, cependant on veut souvent aller encore plus loin. Mon choix c'est donc portée sur l' Xtension 10 avec cellule Ortofon Quintet black S.
Heureusement je savais qu'il ne fallait pas tenir compte des premières heures d'écoute car le son était vraiment mauvais ( rien à voir avec ce que j'avais entendu lors de précédentes écoutes ). Les principales différences si une comparaison était possible parce que les 2 platines ne sont pas dans la même catégorie. Plus d'impact de matière d’assise sur les notes, le bras plus long apporte plus de précision. Le pleurage à totalement disparu aussi ( grâce à l'alimentation ). Concernant la cellule il y a beaucoup plus de transparence, plus de détail mais aussi un peu moins de chaleur. Si cela peut aider, mon système à ce jour est composé d'un ampli Atoll IN400 SE enceintes Triangles Delta Signature, pré ampli Lehmann Black Cube SEII et câble full Atlas. Je tiens à remercier toute l’équipe Maplatine. Un niveau d’expertise et de connaissance sur les produits et leur association incroyable. En plus ils sont sympa. Encore merci !!!
Norbert un homme heureux
