The Pro-Ject X8 Special Edition player immediately attracts attention. The combination of black lacquer and metallic coating on the edges of the table gives the model a strict, refined look. The flagship Ortofon MC Quintet Black S cartridge is selected as the pickup head. The cartridge provides exceptionally accurate tracking with almost complete absence of resonances and stray vibrations, high detail and a surround sound stage.
