The main improvement is the sub-platter which has performance features that are rarely seen in this price category. An electronic speed change was built in, which lets you switch from 33 to 45 rpm (and vice versa) with the push of a button.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompared to the old Classic, Pro-Ject improved the subchassis, making it heavier and stiffer to reduce resonance. Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth is the target.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe heavy aluminum main platter construction uses advanced thermoplastic elastomers (TPE*) for optimized resonance behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platter of The Classic Evo is precisely machined out of a special aluminum alloy again damped with TPE*. The main bearing construction we use is a similar system as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Record player.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe diamond-cut precision alu sub-platter, like in the limited edition Vienna Philharmonic Record player, enables much improved tolerances. This extraordinarily sophisticated part is accurately machined and guarantees isolation from bearing noise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe radical new Classic tonearm is the result of 25 years of experience in mechanical construction. The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and aluminum: carbon for stiffness and speed, alu for better damping. The bearing has been upgraded to the same type that is used on Pro-Ject CC EVO tonearms. It facilitates frictionless vertical and horizontal movement, guaranteeing precise tracking across the entire record. The counterweight incorporates a TPE* damper which reduces the amplitude of tonearm cartridge resonance by 50%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs typical for Pro-Ject and absolutely not standard at that price range this turntable features azimuth and VTA adjustment to use a variety of cartridges.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond cut precision aluminum sub-platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved sandwich subchassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSumiko Moonstone \u003c\/span\u003ecartridge pre-installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic speed control (33\/45 rpm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelt drive with electronic speed control 33\/45 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight adjustable decoupling feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision balanced TPE*-damped aluminum platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal\/MDF sandwich chassis floating on TPE* suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9” carbon\/aluminium tonearm with MM \u0026amp; MC capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInverted EVO bearing design with four ABEC7 spec ballraces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArm-bearing housing of solid ring type.
