The Pro-Ject E1 BT is a handy version of the E1 with Bluetooth transmitter capable of transmitting the turntable signal to Bluetooth speakers, headphones or amplifers.

Be aware though that in turning your turntable signal into a Bluetooth one, you are makng it digital. The beauty of the analogue signal from start to finish which is what makes Vinyl stand out from other music mediums is lost.

The best way to do vinyl is therefore still with cables. But if Bluetooth is absolutely necessary, this is a good option.

Available in Black, White and Walnut

Belt Drive fully automatic turntable ... 

Drunkeness or narcolepsy are no obstacle to playing records with the Denon DP300. With full automatic needle on and needle off the record, and front mounted controls that can be used with the lid down, this will get you through the night.
This is the classic mid priced Japanese turntable that to be honest was always outpointed on sound quality by Rega and Thorens but has its niche because of fully automatic operation allied to a reasonable tonearm and cartridge with a good acoustic plinth design. This is actually a surprisingly competent vinyl replay machine that age has wearied and is of fundamentally good quality and value.

Good for Hi-Fi generally but particularly useful with Turntables. This will dampen Resonances so as not to create distortion in your system.

Handy if you don't want to fix a Wall-Mount to your wall for a Turntable or to increase the performance of your Hi-Fi system.

The Gound It 3 has the same granular mass inside it to dampen vibrations as the 1 and 2 does but it has alot more of that granular material and more solid, isolating feet than the other models too. 

Top Tip: They are more useful under CD players to counter act the effects of the moving parts.

Pro-Ject is producing this new range of phono stages that are fully balanced and with discrete circuitry. Normally these features were exclusive to the market above $1000 but it is now trickling down into the sub $1000 range.

A great option that won't break the bank and an upgrade in the circuitry from the SB 3 phono box. This is cleaner sounding than the SB 3.

This is the newest incarnation of this 40 year long running model. There are still Planar 2s out there in your grandfathers house that he blew his student grant on in 1976 (remember student grants? Baby boomers had it good didn't they ...) It has the glass platter and 24V motor of the Planar 3 with a simplified tonearm and chassis construction.

It comes as standard with the Rega Carbon cartridge that is ... OK ... basically a relabelled Audio Technica AT95 ... but we believe this turntable is very worthy of an upgrade. 

We started selling Rega Planar 2s thirty years ago and dealing with them again is like meeting an old friend from uni and playing music with them and feeling young and stoned again ....

"What Hi Fi?"loves the Planar 2.

Garrott Brothers cartridges were founded in the 1970s by the Australian twins John and Brian Garrott. They operated their business out of Australia but drew the most renowned from the American and European markets. For those in the know, however, Garrott Brothers cartridges have also represented the best cartridges at their price points.

Garrott Brothers apply some fundamental principles that always make their cartridges better. Diamond quality and orientation is one of those. You can have a conical diamond but choose a good quality one without those microscopic gouges and it will sound infinetely better. Orientation along the diamond grain is also essential to extracting the best out of a groove.

THe Optim S-2 FGS goes beyond their basic principles offering a specifically tuned cartridge that's neither too dampening nor too exentuating leaving simply the music as it's meant to be.

The FGS or Fritz Geiger Signature is a stylus design based on one by the dutch cartridge manufacturer, AJ Van del Hul to replicate the cutting device used to make the vinyl. The cartridge body has been made to exactly match this particular cut of diamond.

This is a beauty of a cartridge that delivers real depth and musicality to a recording.

Cleaning records is not just for people with serious cases of OCD, it's done to improve the way your records sound, give longevity to your precious cartridge and stylus and try to eliminate those pops and crackles.

Proper record cleaning is an important part of a Vinyl lovers routine and if your only option is a bath type of cleaner, it quickly becomes a tedious job of waiting for the Vinyl to dry before putting them on. Let alone having to find floor space and enough teatowels to sit them on,

The vacuum method, like this one, is much more time efficient and effective at getting the grime out of the grooves.

Its advantage over the smaller and cheaper VC-E is that it has a much larger cleaning fluid tank, 2.5L as opposed to 0.5L and a much better motor. It's also notably quieter to run and has less plastic bits than the VC-E.
