When Heinz Lichtenegger founded Pro-Ject Audio Systems in the 1990’sm vinyl sales were at an all time low. He must have had a crystal ball as they have been breaking records every year for the past several years. His vision was to produce turntables and electronics that almost anyone could afford, that offered great performance for their cost. Pro-Ject is now the world’s largest producer of turntables with several factories across Europe.
Is the Vinyl Revival Real? Yes, And Here’s Why
Their first turntable was called the Debut, as it was their debut into turntables. This series of turntables has been one of our most popular ones at Audio Advice. But for those of you wanting a higher level of performance, that is where the X models come into play.
These are similar in design to their famous Debut turntables but take things to the next level in just about every aspect.
