Pro-Ject RM-5SE Turntable
The RM5-SE has the same features and specifications as the Pro-Ject RM5 turntable, but it's offered in a value-oriented performance package featuring a sandwich platter made from MDF with an integrated vinyl mat. This platter provides constrained layer damping at an unbeatable price. It also includes a pre-mounted Sumiko Blue Point 2 high-output moving-coil (valued at $300 retail). Other strengths include the classic Pro-Ject 9c tonearm, a suspended motor, and adjustable spike-feet.
