The Project Genie Mk3 does the seemingly impossible by improving upon the already brilliant Genie Mk2.
Although it looks similar, the changes are many and effect just about every area of this award-winning turntable. First off is a brand new tonearm. The Project 8.6s arm now features a one piece design for improved rigidity around the headshell area. What this means is that less detail is lost and more information can be heard. Other benefits include an improved anti-skating system and better finish.
One of the most striking features with the Pro-Ject RPM1 Genie was the separate motor unit. This means that noise and vibration from the motor doesn't interfere with the delicate pickup area. The new Genie MK3 retains this feature but offers an improved casing with superior damping. For ease of use, the power switch has been relocated by the motor. Subtle changes to the plinth and a re-profiled platter complete the evolutionary overhaul of this much praised turntable. As before, an Ortofon OM3e cartridge is included, making this turntable ready to go, straight out of the box.
For minimalist style and class-leading sound quality the best budget turntable has just got better!

"Pro-Ject continues to bring much enlightenment to the masses with its latest budget charmer. No company has done as much in the 21st century to bring the vinyl message to the people as Pro-ject. That alone is enough to grant the Czech specialists a place in our hearts, but the fact that its turntables have generally sounded splendid means we expect great things from the Genie 3. Low frequencies are warm and weighty, the midrange detailed, textured and alive with nuance, and treble sounds crisply substantial. Timing is unforced and natural, integration first-rate and the soundstage explicit and simple to understand. There's a fluency to the presentation that a similarly priced CD player can't match." - What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision magazine |
