Unveiling the Project X8 SE Turntable: Elevate Your Vinyl Experience
Are you ready to take your vinyl listening experience to the next level? Look no further than the Project X8 Special Edition Turntable. We're going to explore the incredible features of this high-end turntable and why it's a must-have for any audiophile.
Discovering Superior Sound Quality
At the heart of the Project X8 SE Turntable lies its exceptional design and engineering. Featuring a pre-adjusted Ortofon Quintet Black cartridge mounted on a Project 9cc Evolution carbon tonearm, this turntable ensures precise tracking and stunning sonic accuracy right out of the box. Whether you're a seasoned audiophile or a casual listener, you'll be blown away by the clarity and richness of the sound produced by the X8, all for the price of £2499
Craftsmanship Inspired by Xtension 9 and 10
Drawing inspiration from its high-end counterparts, the X8SE boasts major technical features adapted from the Xtension 9 and 10 models. One standout feature is the heavy, TPE damped mass-loaded platter, precision lathed and balanced from a single piece of aluminium. Supported by a neodymium magnet that reduces bearing load, this design ensures smooth rotation and perfect speed stability, allowing your vinyl records to shine like never before.
Unlocking the True Balanced Experience
For those seeking the ultimate audio experience, the X8 SE offers compatibility with moving coil cartridges and balanced phono connections. By upgrading to the fully balanced 5P to XLR cable and pairing it with a balanced phono stage, such as the Phono Box DS3 B or any of Pro-Ject's RS/RS2 phono stages, you'll enjoy increased dynamics, reduced noise, and improved signal-to-noise ratios. It's like discovering new layers in your favorite music that you never knew existed.
Elevate Your Vinyl Experience with the Project X8 SE Turntable
In summary, the Project X8 Special Edition Turntable is a game-changer in the world of vinyl playback. With its superior craftsmanship, innovative features, and budget-friendly price tag, it's the perfect choice for anyone looking to elevate their vinyl listening experience.

Ortofon’s MC X Series represents a new wave in high-fidelity vinyl playback. Building on the solid foundation of the Quintet range, this series introduces a more refined, high-performance line of moving coil (MC) cartridges—all designed and assembled in Denmark.
While the models share core design elements—such as a honeycomb stainless-steel body, silver-plated pure copper coils, and a refined magnet system—the key differences lie in stylus shape, cantilever material, and sonic character. These factors have a profound effect on how the cartridge interacts with the grooves and conveys the music.
Let’s break down the differences between the MC X10, X20, X30, and X40 to help you choose the model that suits your setup and listening preferences.
