In the world of high-fidelity audio, even the smallest upgrades can make a significant difference. Our Pro-Ject X1 & X2 Subplatter Upgrade review reveals how this seemingly modest component can dramatically enhance your vinyl listening experience. As audiophiles, we're always on the lookout for ways to squeeze every last drop of performance from our turntables, and this upgrade promises to do just that for Pro-Ject X1 and X2 owners.
The Pro-Ject X1 & X2 Subplatter Upgrade is a testament to Pro-Ject's commitment to continuous improvement. This diamond-cut aluminium subplatter is machined to ultra-low tolerances, offering a substantial upgrade over the standard subplatters found in the X1 and X2 turntables. The attention to detail in its construction is immediately apparent, with a finish that exudes quality and precision.
One of the key advantages of this upgrade is the additional mass it brings to the platter and drive system. This increase in mass serves two critical functions:
These improvements translate directly to a more stable, accurate, and ultimately more enjoyable listening experience. The reduction in unwanted vibrations allows for cleaner reproduction of your vinyl records, letting you hear more of the music and less of the mechanical artefacts.
The improved tolerances achieved during the production of this subplatter upgrade contribute to increased overall speed accuracy. This means your records will spin at a more consistent rate, ensuring that pitch and timing are reproduced with greater fidelity. For the discerning audiophile, this level of precision can make all the difference in bringing recorded performances to life.
