Pro-ject True Balanced

Pro-Ject Audio Systems is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality audio equipment, known for their commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality and innovative technology. One of their standout features is their True Balanced Technology, which sets them apart from other brands in the industry. True Balanced Technology is a design approach that aims to eliminate interference and distortion in audio signals by using separate signal paths for the positive and negative phases of the audio signal. This results in a cleaner, more accurate sound reproduction with improved stereo imaging and a wider soundstage. Pro-Ject's True Balanced Technology is implemented in their turntables, amplifiers, preamplifiers, and other audio equipment, ensuring that every component of the audio chain is optimized for maximum performance. By keeping the positive and negative signals separate throughout the entire audio path, Pro-Ject is able to deliver a more faithful reproduction of the original audio signal, free from the coloration and distortion that can occur with other designs.

 

The benefits of True Balanced Technology are evident when listening to music through Pro-Ject equipment. The sound is clear, detailed, and dynamic, with a sense of realism that can transport the listener into the performance. Whether you are listening to your favorite album or watching a movie, Pro-Ject's True Balanced Technology ensures that you are experiencing the audio as it was meant to be heard. In a world where audio quality is often compromised for convenience or cost, Pro-Ject Audio Systems stands out as a brand that prioritizes sound quality above all else. Their commitment to True Balanced Technology is a testament to their dedication to delivering the best possible audio experience to their customers. If you are a discerning audiophile looking for audio equipment that prioritizes sound quality and performance, look no further than Pro-Ject Audio Systems and their True Balanced Technology. Experience the difference for yourself and elevate your listening experience to new heights.

Now moving onto some products from Project's catalogue that we think people should be considering when thinking about their next purchase/upgrade into analogue HiFi.

Starting off with my personal favorite turntable in their catalog: 

The Pro-Ject Audio 6PerspeX Balanced Turntable is a high-quality, precision-engineered piece of audio equipment that offers exceptional sound performance. Its acrylic plinth is not only visually striking but also helps to reduce unwanted vibrations, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound. The turntable features a high-quality tonearm and cartridge, ensuring accurate tracking and playback of your favorite vinyl records. With its sleek design and outstanding performance, the Pro-Ject 6 Perspex turntable is a must-have for audiophiles looking to elevate their listening experience.

Moving onto some other brilliant turntables from Pro-Ject's catalog that feature the True balanced technology: The X2 and X8 turntables are both high-quality, audiophile-grade turntables from the renowned Austrian manufacturer Pro-Ject Audio Systems. While they share some similarities, such as a focus on high-quality sound reproduction and precision engineering, there are also several key differences between the two models. The Pro-Ject X2 is a mid-range turntable that offers excellent performance at a more affordable price point. It features a high-mass acrylic platter, a carbon fiber tonearm, and a precision motor control system for accurate playback. The X2 is known for its warm and detailed sound signature, making it a popular choice among audiophiles looking for a high-performance turntable without breaking the bank. On the other hand, the Pro-Ject X8 is a higher-end model that offers even greater performance and features. It features a heavier and more rigid chassis, a larger and more sophisticated motor control system, and a higher-quality tonearm with adjustable VTA (vertical tracking angle). The X8 is designed to deliver even more precise and detailed sound reproduction, making it a top choice for serious audiophiles who demand the best possible performance from their turntable.

In summary, the Pro-Ject Audio X2 B turntable with Ortofon Quintet Red Cartridge is a great choice for audiophiles looking for a high-performance turntable at a more affordable price point, while the Pro-Ject Audio X8 turntable with Ortofon Quintet Blue Cartridge is a top-of-the-line model that offers even greater performance and features for those who demand the absolute best in sound quality. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on your budget and how important ultimate sound quality is to you.

However, most turntables from Pro-Ject now come with true-balanced connections. The Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3-B and Phono Box S3-B phonostages are high-quality audio components designed to enhance the sound quality of your vinyl records. The DS3-B features a discrete circuit design and high-quality components for accurate and detailed sound reproduction, while the S3-B offers a warm and natural sound. Both phonostages provide excellent RIAA equalization and low noise levels, making them ideal for audiophiles looking to get the most out of their vinyl collection. With their sleek and compact designs, the Pro-Ject DS3-B and S3-B phonostages are a great addition to any high-end audio setup and we recommend them with any turntable. The S3-B would normally go along side X2 and below and the DS3-B would go with the X8 and above.
