This new, balanced update to the company's tried and trusted X2, complete with a superb Ortofon Quintet Red MC cartridge in a damped carbon-aluminum tonearm, offers a punchy and stunning sound. Its 2kg acrylic platter and rigid, solid plinth, available in four luxurious finishes, ensure consistent, resonance-free playback. The Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B phono stage is the ideal partner for the X2 B - this versatile little box retains the benefits of a balanced connection from cartridge to amplifier and sounds great.
