Pro-Ject at CES 2017

- Pro-Ject had two rooms at CES 2017. One included a few prototypes and special "one-off" designs, including one for the band Wilco and one for Best Buy/Magnolia currently available, produced for Ron Howard's Beatles film. The other room includes new Pro-Ject turntables and electronics to be introduced this year. Your guide in that room is Pro-Ject President and founder Heinz Lichtenegger, who told me that the astonishing number of Pro-Ject turntables sold in 2016 that he gave me for my "state of analog" speech at the L.A. and Orange County Audio Society, was wrong. The number included a fourth quarter estimate that proved to be far lower than the actual sales.
Pro-ject has a done a lot to bring in people to this hobby. Interesting products, new products every year, lots of updates, listens to the market and affordable for almost everyone. Hats off to them.
Yippie I agree with you, I originally had a Roksan Radius but the wife hated it and I spent ages looking at turntables that were aesthetically pleasing, had a cover (again wife and me hated dusting the Roksan), also needed an easy to use speed control and had to sound great, we ended up buying a Project Xtension 10 and have to say we are blown away by how good it is. I also like Projects mass market but innovative and well priced approach, certainly supports the younger generations getting into analogue systems
I agree. I want that PhonoBox DS2 USB recorder with wood sides for Christmas. ☺
I love Pro-Jects idea of affordable luxury and the ideas they come up with.
I think it is a wise decision to have the speedbox built as they are doing it now.
Thank you Mr. Fremer!
That Carbon + Acrylic platter + Hi Res recording feature, is the turntable I've been waiting for. My infant LP collection will continue to collect dust a little while longer until that thing releases.
Agreed. Plus a 2M Red cartridge. Was looking at uturn custom. Can get all that but the digital output. Of course I don't care to record, but I have a family member who wants some old ones recorded so that would come in handy. My pc has too much noise in the line in for me. Great record player with not so great capture == no go for me. Perhaps I'll just look for an external analog to digital converter to run to the pc.
I can't find the recordmaster they showed in this video though. Perhaps it was just a tease or it's not out yet.
ah, I got the debut and the high res confused. I see.
RE the 2M Red, the Blue is clearly a better listening experience and well worth the added expense. My 55-year old ears can tell the difference. It's only a little better going from the Blue to the Bronze. I have a 2M Silver cartridge that was a special edition for these Pro-Ject tables fitted with the Bronze (fine line) - but on a vintage Technics table and it it sweet!
Man that was cool. The prices are astonishing!
The S-shaped tonearm looks interesting. They should offer that as an option on more of their turntables. Also, what about an external speed box for their DC motors? Further, motor noise and motor isolation has always been a problem on many of their models. Why don't they address that?
I might buy one of those with the removable head-shell if becomes available.
Great video showing the Pro-Ject lineup, I was in the market for an entry level turntable with good sound so I just purchased the essential III. Thank you for the video.
I know it is kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream new series online?
@Briggs Nixon Meh I use flixportal. you can find it through google:D -kendall
@Kendall Matthias thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it !!
@Briggs Nixon No problem =)
J'adore cette marque de platine , elles sont classe et de bonne qualité , celles de la vidéo sont vraiment des petits bijoux !
_ VINYLE What does platine means?
platine (vinyle) = turntable
ok thank you I thought it was a kind of metal!
Platine is also a kind of metal. Same word for two different things.
So in a way I was right lol!!
Project are doing something for everyone, I think that's the message, whatever your taste, you can have plain black or silver or something bizarre or funky, why not.
Beautiful turntables from Pro-Jet. ..I like the last one
If only the recordmaster Hi Res had rca line in too... i'd buy one, no question about it.. would be all i'm looking for in one box. (EDIT: Might be asking too much but a coaxial digital out alongside that optical would be really handy, too)
Why can't they have options to buy without stylus? I have a very nice cartridge but the rest of my turnable is junk and I'm not interested in Ortofon reds.
I love my Pro-Ject!
So why don't they use real marble? I got a couple of pieces about that size for the kitchen.. cost me $16.99 each. But I guess if they used it for a turntable would add $500 to the price.
Bob Wood had his Solid 12 table custom made out of a marble-like Corian material: ruclips.net/video/UGffzPcMBhg/видео.html
I'm looking for another brand to change my Début 3. But always Pro Ject propose Best price quality and many products. I'm waiting The Classic SB as soon
Where can I find the recordmaster with the 2m red and the walnut? Amazon has a few colors with an OM 10. Is that an old version? I was going to build custom at uturn but that digital output might get me to change sides at the last minute.
I got the high res mixed up with the debut. I guess it's not out yet since I can't find it. Release date?
I had to stop watching , I started drooling
The one with the s tone arm I would buy...
That's another question I have. You don't see many "S" arms these days. Even on the ultra high ends. My old Technics SL-D202 has an S, but my Duals and B&O are straight. Why?
Crazy prices! We are in an analog Renaissance.
I had one of the first ProJect "Debut" turntable a few years ago, that was totally worthless. An Czechoslovakia's unsuccessful REGA copy which I gave away for free to a friend. After that episode I bought an old REGA Planar 2 I'm happy with. That much about ProJect
Why acrylic? Also, I have heard that they cause more static discharge. $120 is some change to pay - must e a good reason for it with no drawbacks. Thanks Michael. Happy New Year!
And why not, might I ask? Also, what about glass? Bob Wood has one of those on his Solid12 table.
I bought an essential iii turntable in ireland not too long ago and it came with an acrylic platter. does this mean that the us version is different?
Simon Akos possibly, but acrylic players are more premium anyways and give better performance
I know i was just wondering
should there be a little play in the tone arm pivet bearing side to side and up and down i have xtension 10 love your channel
your the reason i bought a turntable thanks for your help
What was that record with the Millennium Falcon hologram? Might have to hunt that down for my collection! Love the videos! Keep it up!
Avery Lane it's The Force Awakens Soundtrack
Really should have bought a Pro-Ject for my first turntable. I was being cheap at the time and wanted something I thought would be dependable and packed with features, so I settled for an AT-LP120 (on sale for $230 at the time) Ignorant to the noisy platter, shoddy pre-amp, and iffy anti-skate. Now I've got a component I have to perform a dozen different mods on to get to the level of something I should have just payed an extra $70 for. Heck, I could've got a pretty nice vintage deck for that price. Oh well...
I got my turntable just to perform mods on it, I have nothing to listen apart from moms collection of classics and a scratched to death double record Beatles album...
Just as a fun FYI..... use a price tracking website for Amazon (I use camelcamelcamel) and you'll find some deals. I got my Debut Carbon, normally $399 for $325 because it was an "open box". When I got it at my house I was curious to see what was wrong with it since everything was packaged back up so nicely. It was was tiny spot on the platter that hadn't been painted black, maybe no bigger than a quarter of my thumbnail.
I think I got my Audio Engine N22 amplifier in the same way. Normally $199, I got it for $140.
In other words, save the full amount of money for what you're going to buy, and then wait a month or two to see if prices drop.
nice price i buy red Pro-Ject Essential III love
I fking love my essential ii
Mike keep posting these videos Ja? 😂
We like them a lot, you know that Ja? 😂
nice stuff but very pricey . I still in my own opinion feel that vintage idler drive turntables are best . and all the extra accessories are too much money when it gets to be very reasonable around 150 to 200 dollars for a high end table then I might consider it . great gear and show thank you for posting and showing us what is around if you have lots of cash
Nice!
i cant decide between the espirit sb and rega planar 2. i like the pro ject but i heard there's hum issues, if im paying $600+ for a turntable i want it to be perfect.
love their tube box ds though, im using it with a vintage MCS turntable with a ortofon red cart. sounds amazing.
those graphic decks look like toys.
nice.
The 1st one i thought it was marble made
Crap! I haven't owned a turntable or vinyl in two decades. Watching this makes me wants me want to own a turntable. Which would lead to buying vinyl. Crap!
S shaped arms - WHY!?
Fair doos. Offset fixed headshells perform much better though.
ja...ja...ja...(10:02)Impotence loading...ja...ja...ja
Rega.
Joe W rega with audio technica lp60 $99 dlls cartige, no thanks.
should have let the rep talk, dude shooting the video knows basically nothing/isn't helpful
The "rep" is actually the founder of Pro-Ject. :)
@Analogu Planet.
Bloody hell,...you sound such a mature and professional guy on the video but your language used in some of your comments is disgusting!!! My estimation of you has literally gone down to zero. Why not just take the spam/hateful comments on the chin man and rise above them!!!
@Analog Planet.
Don't respond at all to them then. Besides,..this is the Internet after all and as soon as you post anything be it a video or comment on any form of social media then you are immediately putting yourself up on offer so must accept you're gonna get some hate. It goes with the territory, or call it an occupational hazard. Never mind the bible bit as that has no meaning to me but there's nothing wrong with turning the other cheek and rising above derogatory comments. Why come down to their level?? Oh well,...I've said my piece. Thanks.
Matt Silver..wow, YOU really don't shit about Michael Fremer do you?
Michael Fremer is pretty damn knowledgeable about hifi audio in my opinion
Far out
