Ortofon , world number one in pickup cartridges, has just received an enthusiastic tribute from the Austrian turntable manufacturer Pro-Ject , also a world leader in its specialty and with whom, in addition to a powerful professional association, it maintains a long-standing friendship. A tribute embodied in the Ortofon Century turntable, developed jointly with Ortofon based on the celebrated The Classic SB by Pro-Ject , to which several fine adjustments have been incorporated at strategic points to further improve its exceptional performance. For its part, the pickup capsule that equips the new Pro-Ject is the limited edition model of the legendary Concorde, the Concorde Century, created to celebrate the first century of Ortofon 's existence. Likewise, the new Pro-Ject turntable mounts a spectacular 9” “S” aluminum arm that even allows you to adjust the azimuth. Also the rotation system of said arm, equipped with high-precision bearings manufactured in Japan, deserves to be highlighted, to which we must add a counterweight with TPE cushioning, the thermoplastic elastomer that is also used to "suspend" the structure that supports the plate, in turn made of aluminum treated with TPE absorbent elements.
