”The Primary E remains a great entry level turntable.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 award-winner.

Focused on sound quality. Pure and simple

Putting engineering excellence above ‘bells and whistles’, the Pro-Ject Primary E is designed for the best sound quality at its price. The deck features a high quality 230 volt motor for smooth running. The main bearing is made from stainless steel and runs within a Teflon-coated bronze bushing. This type of engineering quality is usually reserved for much more expensive decks and helps give the Primary E its class-leading sound quality.

A winner made better
Already a multi-award-winner, the Primary E now uses a totally revised motor for purer sound. Out go the old plug-based power supply and 9v motor to be replaced by a superior, directly connected 230v motor previously used in higher spec Project decks. Without an external power supply and the necessary processing, the new Primary E offers a low distortion, and extremely stable sound.

Easy set-up
Despite offering genuine hi-fi sound, the Primary E is designed for ease of use. From unboxing, all that's needed is for the platter to be placed on the bearing, the belt attached, the stylus guard removed and you're good to play. Both cartridge and counter weight are already fixed so there's no need for complicated adjustments.

Factory-fitted Ortofon cartridge
This deck comes pre-fitted with a top-brand Ortofon OM 1S cartridge. Giving smooth, natural sound quality, the OM 1S tracks smoothly and sounds musical. As part of the Optimum Match (OM) range, the stylus is upgradable to 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 models, giving plenty of scope for future upgrading.

Simple is best
In a classic case of form following function, the Project Primary E offers effortless style through its pared down minimalism. Unlike like some, though, it’s not so pared back that it doesn’t feature a lid – a smart acrylic lid is standard with the Primary E.

The ideal starter turntable, the Project Primary E is still the perfect introduction to vinyl seduction.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great deck and great service. Got this today - really happy. Seems really well engineered and good value. The platter sits and rotates really smoothly. Problem is it makes me want to upgrade rest of my system. Also great service - ordered on phone at 4 pm, delivered 9 am next morning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Back to brilliant analogue After years of digital, I've bought my first turntable since my 34 year son was a toddler. It sounds so good, wish I'd done it years ago.. Great service from richer sounds, rang my local shop on Friday afternoon, placed an order and my turntable arrived the next day.. Couldn't be happier!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent value turntable. Excellent value for a mid-priced record-deck. Requires some simple assembly steps. Fitting the belt drive is tricky, a locating groove on the turntable would help. Despite this lack, there appears to be no slip when running. Requires manual operation of the arm, which I happen to prefer. Absolutely no background noise. Clear and faithful reproduction of classical vinyls, used in conjunction with a Technics amplifier and B&O speakers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No frills but great sound Excellent value for money. No frills, great sound though. Prefect starter turntable

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Project Primary E Good entry level turntable linked to Marrantz PM7000N and Triangle B03 speakers gives a great quality sound especially at the price. The belt drive is a little fiddly and can be easily removed when picking a disc off the turntable unless care is taken.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No frills - great sound - great price! Easy to setup as most of the work is done before leaving the factory. Nice build quality and finish. Sounds is great although I brought the model with no phono amp so it's plugged into my own Yamaha . Would recommend to anyone getting into vinyls on a low budget.
