Pro-Ject Xtension 10 Turntable
The Xtension 10 shares much with its larger brother the Xtension 12. Designed to be smaller and with a 10" tonearm, the Xtension 10 delivers nearly all of the 12's performance in a more compact and less expensive package. Pro-Ject's Xtension 10 incorporates over 20 years of experience in turntable design and manufacture.
Optional Superpack upgrade: Superpack includes Sumiko BlackBird Cartridge at a significantly reduced price.
The Xtension 10 shares much with its larger brother the Xtension 12. Designed to be smaller and with a 10″ tonearm, the Xtension 10 delivers nearly all of the 12’s performance in a more compact and less expensive package. Pro-Ject’s Xtension 10 incorporates over 20 years of experience in turntable design and manufacture. The Xtension 10 represents the latest technological efforts to address mass-decoupling and resonance reduction. Beginning with the mass-loaded magnetically floated sub-chassis and the precision balanced sandwich alloy platter (recycled vinyl/alloy), the foundation of this system weighs in at a super-heavy 48 lbs.
Additionally, Pro-Ject employs magnetic decoupling feet to thwart airborne or mechanical vibration from disturbing playback. This mass and isolation creates an environment of extremely low resonance, allowing music to emerge from an ultra-silent black background. An AC motor with a two-step pulley drive with electronic speed control maintains perfect pitch and rhythm, resulting in inaudible wow, flutter and noise.
Further reducing noise and vibration is the isolated Sorbothane mounting board for the 10″ carbon-fiber tonearm. The conical arm and unified headshell are fabricated from a single piece of carbon fiber to avoid problems associated with standing wave reflections. Single screw fixing of the armtube allows easy rotation for adjustment of needle azimuth. Additionally the arm is fully adjustable for VTA. A high-performance 123 cm phono interconnect cable is included.
Superpack Upgrade
The optional Superpack upgrade includes a Sumiko Blackbird cartridge at a significantly reduced price. Designed for exceedingly low noise levels, wide dynamic range, and the highest possible fidelity in its price class, Blackbird is destined to become an analog classic. Each cartridge is assembled using time honored, labor intensive techniques, hand-calibrated and critically auditioned to meet the most rigorous standards of consistency.
