I originally started out with an Ion Pro 80 a few weeks ago which was perfect for getting me into the hobby whilst I was slowly building my collection but I felt with my system there was a lot more potential. I am running a Rotel RA01 with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 loud speakers and Chord cables with banana plugs. With this combination using the Rotels inbuilt phono stage I get a sound that's dynamic, big and detailed. There's a lack of sound stage depth compared to my Schitt Modi DAC and Roon streaming setup but for an entry level turntable with it's factory fitted cartridge this is more than good enough for anyone to get up and running with vinyl and is providing satisfying results that have me listening over and and over and over and over again! A word of warning however, this record player is very finnicky and requires some extra patience as there's no auto stop or button to change speeds, this has to be done manually with the belt but if you're careful and crave excellent sound quality at a reasonable price look no further! This is a fantastic step in anyone's vinyl journey and I'm very excited to continue to build my collection and making small upgrades to this turntable to get the best sound I can!

Do not let the following caveats put you off, see the end of this review! Buy the Phono Box E by Pro-ject. Don't trust that the arm is correctly weighted as advised in the Manual. You should calibrate this when you get it. I think the cartridge is correctly calibrated but check this too. The rubber band which turns the turntable can be tricky to install, but is fine once in place. Mine needed replaced as it broke, but the seller did this promptly. This player is missing a number if features that a lot of much more expensive players have. This means you may find it difficult to tune it for absolutely the best sound. But please, do not let any of the above put you off purchasing, this turntable produces excellent sounding music, and great at the price. This is certainly a good choice for someone who is looking to get into records for the first time and wants that next-level listening experience. Once you know you love it, you can shell out thousands for a model that has all the bells and whistles. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pro-Ject Audio Systems Primary E Turntable - CableMountain 2 RCA to 2 RCA Cable 1m - Gold Plated Male-to-Male Phono to Phono Cable | RCA Audio Cable for Amplifier, Turntable, TV, Home Theater, Speakers and HiFi Systems - Pro-Ject Phono Box E, Hi-Fi Moving Magnet Phono Stage (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/78264886-primary-e](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/78264886-primary-e) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
