It introduces new audiophile features and sets a new standard of performance in its price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe elegantly crafted CNC-machined plinth has been expanded in size to enhance stability and is available in striking finishes such as High Gloss Black, Satin White, or Walnut. It boasts a construction free of plastic components and meticulous manufacturing that eliminates any hollow spaces within, effectively preventing unwanted vibrations within the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eCompared to the T1, the glass platter is heavier and thicker, ensuring a zero-resonance design that effectively eliminates the shortcomings associated with plastic or lightweight steel alternatives. Complementing these improvements, purpose-selected turntable feet effectively isolate the T2 from ambient vibrations present in the vicinity of your hi-fi system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdvanced Motor and Drive System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe motor and drive system are identical to those found in the T1. The motor drives a belt system, connected to Pro-Ject's newly designed sub-platter exclusive to the T-line. This sub-platter is mounted on an ultra-precise 0.001mm main bearing with a hardened steel axle and brass bushing. Where most alternative products may use un-regulated DC motors with wide speed fluctuations, the T2 Super Phono features Pro-Ject's proven system of an electronically regulated, precision-speed AC motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe T2 also comes with electronic speed switching between 33 and 45 RPM. The result is a low-noise, stable drive system for the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Tonearm and Anti-Skating\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe T2's tonearm has been improved for better cartridge geometry. Still a one-piece aluminum design, its effective length has been upgraded to 9\". And it adds an updated low-friction bearing to accommodate the increased length and diameter for absolute accuracy in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAside from clean aesthetics, the integrated headshell is a key player in minimizing armtube resonance (bonded headshells have adverse effects in terms of resonance).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe T2 also features user-friendly spring-based anti-skating for fast and accurate setup. Since the Sumiko Rainier is factory-aligned with the tracking force set, simply turn the wheel to your desired value and you're done with tonearm adjustments!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSumiko Rainier MM Phono Cartridge\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe T2 includes the acclaimed high-value Sumiko Rainier MM phono cartridge which synergizes beautifully with the sonic characteristics of the turntable. The cartridge is factory-aligned with the tracking force set!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eRemember that the Rainier can be easily upgraded to the Olympia, Moonstone, or Wellfleet with the simple swap of a stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSemi-Balanced Phono Cable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eLike the T1, the T2 is topped-off with shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables purpose-designed by Pro-Ject for use with turntables. Pro-Ject also includes an acrylic dust cover with adjustable hinges for your convenience. Everything you need is in the box and can be assembled in minutes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrue Balanced Capable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe T2 uses gold-plated RCA outputs that are wired symmetrically (aka 'balanced') in the RCA junction box. Like any other Pro-Ject turntable with RCA phono outputs, it can be run balanced with the appropriate cartridge, cable, and phono preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis means by upgrading to a MC cartridge or Pro-Ject's Pick it PRO Balanced (specially designed balanced MM cartridge), plus any Pro-Ject balanced phono stages as well as a balanced connecting cable, you can capitalize on the advantages Pro-Ject's True Balanced Connection has to offer. Audibly this amounts to less noise, greater dynamics, clearer transients, and an overall more immersive experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pro-Ject","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45981757178029,"sku":"NEW-PRT2-SATWHT","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Demo","offer_id":45981757210797,"sku":"DEMO-PRT2-SATWHT","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/PRT2-WHT_01_front_2025__60184.1755042557.1280.1280_ecb850d6-3a78-43a8-bbd0-22625e2b7c54.jpg?v=1778152902","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/pro-ject-t2-turntable-satin-white-rainier-cartridge","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
