Pro-Ject T1 EVO Phono: A new generation turntable
The Pro-Ject T1 EVO Phono is an updated turntable from the T collection. In the new EVO version, the sound box is one quality class better, the Ortofon OM-10E and the RIAA preamplifier can now also be bypassed. The purpose of the T-series is to produce really high-quality sound on a limited budget. The instrument is carefully designed with minimal compromises from high-quality materials. The goal has been to produce a well-maintained record player that is able to play records warmly, but with distinction. In addition to the features of the T1 EVO basic model, the T1 EVO Phono offers an integrated turntable preamplifier for MM speakers.

Most record player manufacturers use unregulated DC motors in their players, which have variable speed. In the T1 EVO Phono we use a proven, electronically controlled precision AC motor. In the T1 EVO Phono, the rotation speed is selected electronically by pressing a button (33/45 rpm). The result is a low-noise and stable traction system.
The belt drive of the T1 EVO turntables has been redesigned. The bearing of the precision-cast washer is ultra-precise. The bearing made of stainless steel and brass has a measurement accuracy of 0.001 mm. The selected drive system ensures a smoothly rotating and resonance-free operating environment for the tone arm and the sound box.
The tonearm construction of the T1 EVO collection is a new design based on previous Pro-Ject models. Its sleek 8.6-inch-long stem is made from a single, rigid piece of aluminum. The shaft bearing has low friction, but no backlash. The sound box slide integrated into the stem is rigidly constructed and does not produce its own vibrations in the same way as removable, screwed or glued sound box slides.
The T1 EVO Phono is delivered with an OM 10E moving magnet sound box manufactured by Ortofon. OM 10E is equipped with an elliptically ground diamond needle. There has been no saving in this matter either.
In addition, the instrument is equipped with a well-shielded, semi-symmetrical and low-capacitance intermediate wire. This is not a standard RCA cable, but the Connect It E designed by Pro-Ject for turntable use.
The T1 EVO Phono is a real miracle in its price range. This genuine hi-fi class record player, designed with decades of experience, is still manufactured in Europe. The T1 EVO Phono looks and sounds great!
