Pro-Ject Audio Systems Essential III SB - Piano Black

While there are a lot of 'Budget' turntables out there, Pro-Ject is unrivaled in value vs. performance.  The Essential is a surprisingly well built and performing table in the sub $500 market.  Now available with an SB version with the built in quartz controlled speed box.  It comes with a pre-installed Ortofon OM10e cartridge that we've noted has very good dynamics and really reveals the ambiance of vinyl. You'll be enjoying your collection minutes after opening the box! 

 The Essential III SB includes an even quieter motor than the original.  The tonearm pivot is upgraded as is the cartridge to the new OM10e, making this an even better value.  This table includes an acrylic dust cover.  It just keeps getting better! 
 
This unit is an open box, but never set-up.   Contents are like new.  Its clean and has been re-boxed in its original packing with all original accessories.  A full manufacturer warranty is included.
