Pro-Ject RM 5.1 SE

Up for grabs is an excellent Pro-ject RM 5.1 SE Turntable. This is a wonderful table that provides a clean, quiet, dynamic environment to spin your valued LPs. It's a stylish, small footprint, deceptively stellar performer that gathered rave reviews. Their 9" carbon fiber arm is a gem, and the unique platter construction and ultra-quiet motor combine to provide a stable platform to get ever last detail out of the grooves. Original price $1199.00

Condition is very good, no noticeable marks or scratches, just the occasional hard to see wear marks here and there. Comes complete with all original equipment, power supply, box and manual.

From the website:

The RM-5.1 SE makes a stunning design and audio performance statement in a "value oriented" performance package. A resonance-optimized platter made from MDF with integrated vinyl mat rests upon an MDF plinth with a suspended motor assembly optimized for low resonance and speed stability. The table incorporates a stainless steel axle that runs on a Teflon bearing plate in a bronze housing for lower wow-and-flutter and superior speed accuracy. Three-point aluminum cone feet further reduce noise and vibration. A fixed headshell 9" carbon fiber tonearm with precision Swiss bearings and rigid carbon fiber arm tube provides superior tracking and cartridge control. Accurate adjustment of both VTA and azimuth is easy.
"The RM-5.1 SE carbon-fiber arm is a pleasant surprise...it brings forth more of the fine details that make listening more engaging and rewarding. Its sound is far closer to the bigger Pro-Ject ’tables and worth the extra coin."
– Jim Hannon, The Absolute Sound

I recently upgraded my table and system significantly, and I had to go very far upstream and spend lots more to better the sound from this table. See my other ad for the Soundsmith Phono preamp I was using with this. They go great together!
