Pro-Ject T1 (Black)
Turntable
£299
”This is a seriously good record player for under £300 and it has to be seen as a clear and obvious Best Buy as a result of it.” ’AV Forums’ – Best Buy.
A step-up in sound
Built for sound above all else, the Project T1 features levels of engineering excellence that you might not expect at this price. With a specification that includes a CNC machined plinth with isolation feet, a glass platter, one-piece tonearm and a quality Ortofon cartridge, the T1 is made to class-leading standards.
Engineered for sound
Unlike many other turntables around this price, the Pro-Ject T1 has all the elements of a proper hi-fi turntable - just at a lower price. Rather than plastic, the CNC machined plinth is made from MDF. This gives lower resonance for reduced distortion. Mounted to the plinth is a steel/brass bearing that’s the same as the award-winning Essential III and, combined with the new heavy glass platter, provides smooth and stable running for perfect pitch.
Single piece aluminium tonearm
Continuing its hi-fi credentials, the Pro-Ject T1 is supplied with a good quality tonearm. Made from a single piece of aluminium, it's both light and rigid. The more rigid the more precisely it tracks, making listening to your records a more involving experience. For ease of use the tracking forces are preset and ready to go.
Ortofon OM5E cartridge supplied
Part of the standard package includes a pre-fitted Ortofon OM5E cartridge. Highly regarded, this quality budget cartridge gives a smooth, detailed sound that’s at home with all types of music. As part of the Optimum Match (OM) range, the stylus is upgradable to 10, 20, 30 and 40 models, giving plenty of scope for future upgrading.
Choice of finishes
The simple, elegant styling gives the T1 a sleek appearance. Available in black, white or walnut, there’s a colour to suit you. All models come with a removable dust lid.
Open your ears to just how good vinyl can sound, with the Project T1.

I like these guys
Richer sounds assisted me all the way with my purchase. I'm pleased with the buying process. Treated myself to anew record player and amp and speakers and cd player. The telephone assistant gave me good advice and reassured me about delivery and click and collect process.

Great turntable
I bought this on Monday from the Croydon store and it arrived perfectly packaged the next day. The store team were really knowledgeable and helpful - I was considering the Debut carbon turntable but was worried about the fiddly set-up so I'm really pleased I went for the T1 which was so easy to set up. It sounds great, is really well made and easy to use - can't wait to re-discover my vinyl collection!

My first Hi-fi
I bought this turntable only a week ago, and I have to say I am an immediate audiophile. From ease of setup to ease of use under the availability of all necessary manuals online in PDF form is great.

Great entry-level turntable
Started buying some records again and my old record player was a travesty. The Pro-Ject T1 is a great starter turntable to get back into the swing of things, pretty much plug and play from the box! This will need a separate pre-amp if your amp doesn't have phono support though

Excellent sound quality at a very sensible price
Bought just before Christmas to replace an ailing Sony midi sized record deck. This turntable was easy to set up and the sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I hooked it up to my old but perfectly fine Wharfdale amp and I am genuinely impressed. This may be an entry level turntable but the focus is very much on quality. There is no Bluetooth or USB output, and the platter doesn't come to a stop when the record ends but honestly it really didn't matter when compared to the build quality. In my opinion this is a perfect turntable if you're on a budget and I'd definitely recommend it. In addition, the team at Richer Sounds in Sheffield were knowledgeable and helped me compare options and decide on what was right for me. All round a big thumbs up!

Simple to operate, sounds great.
I contacted the Richer Sounds helpline on a couple of occasions for advice on which turntable to opt for.
This fit my budget.
I’ve connected to a Cambridge Audio AXR1000 amp, Monitor speakers. Great sound as you’d expect. Only gripe is the need to disassemble the turntable to change belt pulley when changing rotational speed.

Does what it says on the tin
Like an earlier reviewer said take it out the box, connect and Bob's your Uncle, sounds great just as my old Pro-Ject, shame the power plug packed in on it but trying to find one for it so I can have an other set-up in the spare room. Very happy with the Staff in store just as always, friendly guys with a SMILE CHEERS
