Pro-Ject T1 BT Turntable with Phono Preamp and wireless audio streaming (Black)

Product Information

The platter is made from medium density fiberboard and a wood-look veneer finish. While nicely built, the turntable is extremely light and doesn’t damp vibration as well as other turntables in the price range. One nice feature that the Pro-Ject T1 has that sets it apart from the competition is the glass platter. The platter is extremely well-made with a nice frosted finish on one side and a glossy finish on the other side. In the box is a felt turntable mat. Sparser arrangements are also beneficial, however, because this isn’t the most spacious of soundstages and can sometimes be cluttered by a throng of instruments. Detail can be lost, and the presentation somewhat muddied.

On top of the base model, the T1 BT features a built-in phono stage and a Bluetooth transmitter for wireless music streaming to your favourite Bluetooth speakers and headphones." - Pro-Ject 🔑KEY FEATURES TheT1 BTfeatures a switchable Moving Magnet phono stage with Bluetooth transmission so you can output at Line level, Phono or wirelessly via Bluetooth. The Rega betters the T1 in terms of dynamics too, but then it has bettered most rivals over the past few years. There is still enough feeling here for an entertaining performance, it just isn’t the subtlest performer available for this money. Verdict One feature I did miss on the T1 BT was the speed control; for my money, I would rather have this feature than Bluetooth connectivity. Choosing the best model for you comes down to your priorities and connectivity requirements. Pro-Ject T1 Review ConclusionThe turntable definitely feels more solid to operate; the added weight really does make a great deal of difference, and I did find the E1 was on the light side, causing the plinth to slide around easily.

That said, we are reviewing the base model T1, which means it doesn’t come with a phono pre-amp nor Bluetooth. Design Listening to the Pro-Ject T1, sound quality was completely adequate but failed to capture the magic of recordings.The standardT1is finished with properly shielded, semisymmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables, designed by Pro-Ject, fixed to the turntable underneath the tonearm. It has a standard phono output, for connecting to a phono stage.

The weightier, higher-quality materials used across all three models immediately give the T1 a more premium feel and should help control resonance more effectively than the entry-level alternatives.One thing we will say about the T1: it's not possible to adjust the tonearm's anti-skate settings, since they're factory-fixed. It's not a major catastrophe – we trust Pro-Ject would also argue the T1 is easier to set up than its Rega rival, and with that we couldn't disagree. It might only be the difference of 15 minutes or so spent gauging weights, but that could understandably be pivotal for those looking for an easy entry into great vinyl sound.

heavy glass platter + solid machined plinth (base) designed to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrationOn top of the base model, the T1 BT features a built-in phono stage and a BT transmitter for wireless music streaming to your favourite BT speakers and headphones. OK, so it does introduce digital processing, which many argue defeats the object, but for convenience and perhaps more casual living room record listening, I’d be more than happy to use Bluetooth connectivity. Pro-Ject T1 Turntable adds a Bluetooth module to the standard T1 model along with and integrated phono stage for wireless audio transmission. Two alternative output versions exist to offer maximum affordability as you only pay for the features you use. T-Line The T1 record player boasts premium materials, stylish aesthetics, a rich, lively sound and an accessible price. It can also be accommodated into almost any environment thanks to its multiple finish options and three output versions. With its standard Bluetooth output, the T1 BT opens up a whole range of new connection possibilities. Perfect for connecting to a Bluetooth speaker or a Bluetooth enabled hi-fi system, the wireless connection lets you place the turntable much further away from the system than would otherwise be possible. Plus, it’s clutter-free!
