Pro-Ject 6PerspeX Balanced UK SuperPack
The exclusive Pro-Ject 6PerspeX Balanced SuperPack includes an uprated tonearm and cartridge.
Pro-Ject has unveiled a new enhanced turntable package exclusive to UK vinylistas - the 6PerspeX Balanced UK SuperPack.
Pro-Ject loves a perspex plinth. Earlier in the year, it fitted the 6PerspeX with a balanced connection and recently launched the brand-new XA B deck. Don't forget that it also closed last year with the limited-edition Perspective Final Edition.

Now, it has taken the already not-too-shabby standard 6PerspeX Balanced model and enhanced it by adding almost £1,000 worth of upgrades and improvements, elevating the model's performance and functionality and making it a "more visually appealing, ready-to-play solution."
The new supercharged variant sits on a thick, transparent acrylic plinth mounted on three damped aluminium cones, while the Corian sub-chassis is magnetically isolated, sitting on three magnetic fields to reduce unwanted noise and vibrations affecting playback. This is rounded off by an MDF platter topped by a 4mm layer of vinyl that is "acoustically inert" and negates the need for a mat.
The AC drive motor of this belt-drive deck is housed in a solid assembly decoupled from the sub-chassis and powered by a DC/AC power generator. Pro-Ject says this facilitates cleaner, more stable power, resulting in superb rotational stability and minimal vibrations. The 6PerspeX Balanced UK SuperPack uses a button-controlled speed change for selecting 33 1/3 and 45 RPM.
The SuperPack's significant modification is Pro-Ject's new Pick It MC3 moving-coil cartridge, which is pre-installed on the business end of a new 9CC Evo High Gloss 9-inch tonearm with ABEC 7 ballrace tonearm bearings.
The turntable has RCA output connectors and a new MiniXLR balanced output. It ships with Pro-Ject's semi-balanced Connect it E Phono RCA turntable interconnect, while the upgradable 'True Balanced' option allows you to connect your deck to a compatible Pro-Ject balanced phono stage, such as the Applause Award-winning Tube Box DS3 B.
The Pro-Ject 6PerspeX Balanced UK SuperPack is available now in the UK, priced at £2,599.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
