Pro-Ject Signature XA B Turntable

For 33 years we develop turntables which focus on sound and not on features, but we are not afraid of experiments to achieve an even better sound. Acryl was always part of the Pro-Ject history. The first ever acrylic turntable was the Pro-Ject 6.9 Perspective which was a huge success. Also, the 6PerspeX is part of our product range since over 15 years already and still one of our best performers. The limited edition Perspective Final Edition was a great success as well and sold out in a very short time. These turntables were examples where we combined the advantages of the special look and acoustical damping of acryl. The use of acryl is not as easy as you would think. The high internal damping ability is a good characteristic, but to get a sonical perfect result, all parts of a turntable need to work together. From measurements and listening tests we know, that acryl can overdamp the turntable which results in a very dry sound character. The combination with the aluminium tonearm and platter and the matched Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge, paired with the special feet, make the XA B lively and it convinces with a dynamic and detailed sound signature. The development of an acrylic turntable is more complex, but we accepted the challenge once again. The result is a wonderful sounding & looking, but still affordable turntable.
