X8 B n/c in High gloss black, High gloss white, walnut. High-end, mass-loaded belt-drive turntable designed to make premium analog performance more accessible. It features advanced "True Balanced" technology, allowing for a fully balanced signal path from the cartridge to the phono preamp, resulting in increased dynamics and reduced noise.
Key Features:
- True Balanced Connection: Features a 5-pin output allowing fully balanced connection (via optional XLR cable) to, for example, the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3 B, reducing signal noise.
- Mass-Loaded Design: A heavy 15kg total weight (including a 5.1 kg CNC-machined aluminum platter) ensures, for example, high inertia and stability.
- 9cc Evolution Tonearm: A 9-inch one-piece carbon fiber tonearm providing superior rigidity and low resonance.
- Platter and Bearing: Features an inverted bearing with a ceramic ball and magnetic support, minimizing pressure on the bearing for smoother rotation.
- Electronic Speed Control: Built-in speed generator allows for, for example, easy 33/45 RPM switching.
- Premium Components: Comes with TPE-damped aluminum feet for effective damping and isolation from, for example, vibrations.
- Cartridge Options: Often paired with high-quality cartridges, such as the Ortofon Quintet Blue or Sumiko Blue Point No. 3, depending on the specific package.
- The X8 B sits between the X2 and Xtension 9, offering high-end, mass-loaded performance at a more accessible price point, say, Pro-Ject Audio Systems.
