Pro-Jects latest range of turntables promise high-fidelity sound without a high price tag. This trio of players are named the; T1 Evo, T1 Evo Phono and T1 Evo BT. The three models are mechanically almost identical except in the connectivity they offer. All three being available in either a gloss black, satin white or satin walnut laminate finish. This new line is aimed to; “deliver true high-fidelity sonics to vinyl enthusiasts on a limited budget”.
This latest trio uses an 8mm, zero-resonance, blasted-glass platter with felt matt, that sits upon an anti-resonant sub-platter. The sub-platter is supported by a stainless steel/brass central bearing and is belt driven by a motor that uses a precision generator to maintain and provide the 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speeds via electronic speed change.

The tonearm is an 8.6-inch one-piece aluminum design with an integrated headshell, using high-quality bearings for a smooth, frictionless tracking motion. The included cartridge is an Ortofon OM 10 moving magnet (MM) model with an elliptical stylus tip. Adjustments include; tracking weight and bias, with the arm and cartridge coming pre-aligned from the factory, so should just be plug-and-play.
