“Pro-Ject decks target style, engineering and value, and this one has a good measure of all three.”
… It looks and feels reassuringly expensive despite being this gathering‘s joint least costly
contender.
… the Pro-Ject is a class act with sound that in some respects, recalls that of an earlier era –
a wholesome, mildly rose-tinted presentation…
… the first podium place goes to the Pro-Ject, which cannily mixes elements to create a warm,
embracing analogue experience that covers all the bases and is impossible to resist…

“…the damping of the turntable for this price point is excellent.”
“This classic design is great and aimed at Hi-Fi enthusiasts – you can adjust and calibrate all tonearm variables you need.“

The Classic EVO is the much better player
DE, 10.2020
The Classic EVO interprets small ensembles in an enchantingly intimate way: With good recordings, the voices are almost physically and vividly in the middle, the stage-depth is enormous.
But this plus in resolution, in height, in defined space makes the surcharge for The Classic EVO more than sensible.
The Classic EVO is a very good offer.

The new Classic Evo is based on the successful EISA Award winner Pro-Ject The Classic. The main improvement is the sub-platter, where we used the experience we gained from designing the 175 – Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer to add key changes to the Classic Evo. The main bearing construction we use is a similar system as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer. For improved comfort, an electronic speed change was built in, which lets you switch from 33 to 45 rpm (and vice versa) with the push of a button. Compared to the old Classic, we improved the subchassis; we tried to make it heavier and stiffer to reduce resonances. Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth is the target. The heavy aluminium main platter construction utilises advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) for optimising resonance behaviour.
The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and aluminium: carbon for stiffness and speed, alu for better damping. The bearing has been upgraded to the same type that is used on our Pro-Ject CC EVO tonearms. It facilitates frictionless vertical and horizontal movement, guaranteeing precise tracking across the entire duration of the record. The counterweight incorporates a TPE* damper which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%. As typical for Pro-Ject we offer also azimuth and VTA adjustment to use a variety of cartridges.
We supply as standard the Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge. As the tonearm offers excellent damping and flexibility as well, its effective mass can be called middle heavy, so it is a very good partner for MC cartridges.
