Introducing the Xtension 9 Evolution Turntable
Prefitted with your choice of Cartridge and Hand made in Europe for Stunning vinyl performance from a compact, luxurious turntable
ProJect considers the Xtension 9 Evolution quite an achievement. They’ve managed to incorporate all of their turntable design experience from more than 20 years in to a high end, slim-line size to fit standard audio racks.
The Xtension 9 chassis is made from MDF filled with metal granulate for high mass that virtually nulls resonance. Magnetic feet, which decouple the main plinth from its base, are combined with a weighty 16kg total turntable mass. The result is a unique combination of ‘mass loaded’ and ‘floating turntable’ design principles.
Instead of pure metal for the main platter, they’ve found a perfect alloy which has been damped with thermo plastic elastomers (TPE). Additionally it's glued recycled Vinyl records to the top (which act as a perfect mat) and baked this ‘sandwich’ before precision balancing it.
The final product subsequently benefits from a wonderfully resonance-free, heavy platter, that runs ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic ball bearing with magnetic suspension. The Xtension 9 Evolution includes a top-class 9cc Evolution tonearm and comes complete with a dust cover.
