Pro-Ject 6 PerspeX

Henley Designs has announced the launch of the new Pro-Ject 6 PerspeX turntable, with a swathe of new technologies aimed to squeeze the most out of its performance. The turntable and arm are mounted on a sub-chassis machined from Corian substrate, which in turn floats above a transparent acrylic plinth on three magnetic suspension points, which mean the system can be levitated indefinitely for ultimately smooth performance. The record platter is made from a non-resonant sandwich of materials and rotates on an inverted ceramic bearing, and is driven about its circumference by a belt from a quiet running AC motor with two pulleys, driving easy speed adjustment between 33 and 45 rpm. The 6 PerspeX also features Pro-Ject's new 9cc Evolution tonearm, formed form a single piece of carbon fibre for rigidity and integrity.
Attention to detail is clearly paramount, reflected not unreasonably with the £1,000 price point.

Visually, the 6 PerspeX turntable is one of Pro-Ject’s happiest creations, its elegant design featuring an eye-catching slab of clear acrylic for the plinth and a thick MDF platter finished off in a matt black plastic. Floating above the plinth is a composite subchassis, supported under its substantial bearing housing by a sorbothane block and at a further three peripheral points by a series of opposing magnets. The matching tonearm is a luxury version of Pro-Ject’s carbon fibre arm called the 9cc Evolution. It’s possible to ‘tune’ the sound of the 6 PerspeX by using the supplied record clamp, which brings some added focus to midrange detail while tightening-up the bass register. Without the clamp, its music sounds slightly softer and lighter but also freer and arguably more natural. It looks fabulous and sounds very impressive indeed – a natural EISA winner.
