Pro-Ject Audio Systems RPM-3 Carbon Turntable w/ Upgraded Sumiko Amethyst Cart.

Prepare for immediate happiness and satisfaction right out of the box! Pro-Ject’s RPM 3 Carbon is pure magic. It’s a true audiophile piece with an affordable price tag, and it even looks ultra modern.

This table is a special factory upgraded unit.  Rather than shipping with the typical Ortofon 2M Red cartridge ($110), this table was factory fitted with a Sumiko Amethyst ($650).  This cartridge adds layers of musicality and dimension to your music.  

The RPM series are some of the best measuring and sounding tables ProJect makes due to radically isolated motor and stable tri-mounted plinth.  

Get ready to love vinyl again!

FEATURES 

• 10" Carbon fiber, S-type, aluminum composite tonearm for improved rigidity and vibration damping.
• A quiet running synchronous motor with a two-step pulley drives the platter’s outside edge via a rubber belt.
• The drive motor is isolated on its own platform and completely decoupled from the plinth to eliminate vibration transmission.
• Resonance-optimized platter.
• A inverted, chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on an inverted bearing with a ceramic ball for ultra smooth operation and low wow and flutter.
• Connection to the phono input of the amplifier can be made with connecting cables of your taste through the gold plated phono sockets and earth screw.
• External 15V AC power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference using an ultra-precise AC generator with a DC supply.
• The turntable is supplied with a Sumiko Amethyst upgraded cartridge (a $650 value).
• The head-shell and arm-tube are formed from carbon fiber for ultra precise tracking.
• The horizontal bearings consist of two hardened stainless steel points and ball-races.
• Eccentrically mounted counterweight reduces cantilever forces and dynamic wow when playing warped records.
• Solid arm-base permits accurate height adjustment of arm-tube and VTA (vertical tracking angle).
• The counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 4 - 9g.
• The tonearm offers adjustments for vertical tracking and azimuth for optimized playback performance and cartridge matching.
• The internal wiring consists of silver coated, high-purity copper.
