Pro-Ject Xpression III Turntable
Improvements to the latest version of the Xpression, the Xpression III, include an acrylic platter, adjustable spike-feet, gold-plated female RCA jacks, and a high-gloss finish. Of course it still uses the tried and true implementations of its predecessors; a fantastic carbon arm, a suspended motor, and an MDF plinth remain featured in this package. Like the Debut III, the Xpression III can be outfitted for playing 78s with the purchase of an additional motor pulley (a cartridge with an available 78 stylus would also be required). The turrntable also benefits from the Speedbox MKII. You'll notice tighter and more natural bass with heightened clarity across the audio spectrum.
