Turntables — Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono

The T2 Super Phono is an accomplished belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject, sharing the T2 W model's design but without wireless functionality, equipped with a 9-inch aluminium tonearm, a pre-installed Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge, and a built-in phono corrector. The T2 Super Phono brings Pro-Ject's considered engineering to a self-contained analogue playback format.

Key specs that matter

Two speeds are supported - 33 and 45rpm - via belt drive with a DC motor. The 9-inch aluminium tonearm comes fitted with a factory-mounted Sumiko Rainier cartridge, paired with a built-in phono corrector eliminating the need for a separate phono stage. The platter is a 10mm-thick, 1.7kg heavy-glass design with a felt mat. Signal-to-noise is 67dB. At 457 x 134 x 335mm and 5.5kg, the T2 Super Phono maintains a substantial turntable chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect a self-contained, straightforward performance reflecting the built-in phono corrector's convenience, with the heavy glass platter's mass contributing to stable, accurate playback.

Pairing

The built-in phono corrector allows the T2 Super Phono to connect directly to a line-level input on any amplifier, without needing a separate phono stage.

Alternatives

Pro-Ject's own T2 W offers a wireless-streaming alternative within the same broader T-series turntable catalogue.
