Pro-Ject Audio Systems Xtension 9 - Audiophile Turntable

Pro-Jects Xtension 9 Evolution incorporates all of their turntable design experience from more than 20 years. The Xtension 9 chassis is made from MDF filled with metal granulate, giving it a high mass while minimizing resonance. Magnetic feet,  decouple the main plinth from its base.  The table mass itself is a weighty 16kg (35.3 Lbs) The result is a unique combination of 'mass loaded' and 'floating turntable' design principles for dead silencve and low noise. Instead of pure metal for the main platter, Pro-Ject developed a perfect alloy which is damped with thermo plastc elastomers (TPE). Additionally they include an integrated Vinyl mat which is baked to the platter before going through a precision balancing procedure. 

The final product subsequently results in a wonderful resonance-free, heavy platter, that runs ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with magnetic suspension. Pro-Ject's Xtension 9 Evolution includes a fantastic 9CC Evo tonearm and is rounded off with a beautiful dust-cover.   We're including a pre-installed Sumiko Blue Point #2 (A $449 value).  The cartridge has less than 5 hours on it, so its very close to being new.
 
The table is finished in an eye catching gloss red lacquer and has chrome /black trim. The plinth and accessories are like new however the acrylic cover has a few scuffs and light scratching from dusting.  Nothing that can be buffed out though.

This unit is from our private, apt only showroom and has been used for just a couple demos.  Overall its in excellent condition and includes everything is came with in the original shipping carton, including the cables, manual, belt, multiple tone-arm counterweights, set-up tools and even the white gloves.
