Pro-Ject The Classic Reference Turntable - I want to paint everything gold or silver

Pro-Ject has announced what is perhaps its most ambitious turntable yet, The Classic Reference Turntable. The company's announcement reads: “One of our career highlights was to create a superlative sounding and looking turntable with the world-famous Vienna Philharmonics for their 175 birthday. We used the original wood and metals of the original music instruments to manufacture 175 pieces. Today, these are in-demand and sought-after collector items.”

Pro-Ject The Classic Reference Turntable looks beautiful and demonstrate natural “sound wall” listening expirience. The mofel based on The Classic EVO turntable and available with a hand-selected Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Anniversary cartridge. The sound of this MC-cartridge (manufactured by Ortofon according Pro-Ject’s specifications) was tuned with members of the Vienna Philharmonics.

Selling start planned on November 2024, Piano/Silver version will be available for €4,990 and with VPO cartridge €5,990. Acacia/Brass version is more expensive – up to €5,990/6,990.
