Pro-Ject RPM 3 Carbon Turntable with Ortofon 2M Silver Cartridge

The RPM3 Carbon boasts a number of improvements from its sibling, the RPM 1 Carbon. The RPM 3 Carbon design has been upgraded to significantly reduce resonance across the turntable. While maintaining the instantly recognisable shape, this turntable boasts improvements in the tonearm, bearing, and motor. The brand new tonearm is a carbon fibre and aluminium resin construct, made using special heat and pressure treatments. The result of this new design is a tonearm that is more solid and anti-resonant than ever before at this price, while maintaining a light weight. The arm is finished off with a pre-fitted Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge and a new magnetic anti-skate mechanism. The improved counterweight also utilises TPE damping in the form of an anti-resonant ring around the fixing point.
