    Anyone familiar with Pro-ject Amp Box DS2

    Hello folks, I have bought a used (like new) Pro-ject Amp Box DS2 and when switched on it has not loud but noticeable pop sound. Is this normal? The story why I have bought this power amp: I have bought year ago a new Pro-ject Pre Box DS2 analogue that I have used with mono power amps that I...

    What’s the big deal?

    Can someone please explain the appeal of these new bare bones overprices turntables? I’ve owned 2 to flip and I don’t get it. They are very cheaply made in China and very fragile. I bought a pro-ject debut carbon with the carbon fiber tone arm and $200 rca cables that everyone seems to need to...

    Platter for Pro-Ject Perspective?

    Since my Platter on the Perspective Anniversary is toast, I'm gonna need a new one. Haven't heard back from Pro-Ject about the cost for the original one (slim and fancy composite made from metal and vinyl coating), but I fear it's gonna be a joke, like most of their accessory prices. The...

    Pro-ject Pre Box S Digital vs SMSL SU-8s vs Chord Mojo 1

    Looking to get a new DAC. Really into these three options. Portability would be nice but audio quality is the main factor here. I like all the options of the project and the SMSL with the filters, MQA, and so on…but the Chord Mojo is something I’ve wanted for awhile and feel it would work good...

    New Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T Transport

    Just added the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T Transport to my system along with the matching Pro-Ject Linear Power Supply. Wonderful sound right out of the box. I wouldn’t have thought there was so much more on a CD that my previous PS Audio Directstream Memory Player could produce. There is...

    Christmas season limiting Pro-Ject availability??

    Apparently, I've picked the WRONG time to try to but a turntable. My birthday is this month, so I "asked" for a turntable from the family. With my budget of $500, I started researching and ended up at the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evolution. Unfortunately, the Christmas season seems to have knocked...

    Pro-Ject Tuner Box S- no DXer, but a cool solution

    I've really been enjoying this compact tuner over the past few days- FM only in a solid metal case. Only about 4" wide by 4" deep and an inch tall...even comes with a remote! Performance on local strong stations up and down the band has been impressive- very good sound quality, especially...

    Best cart options for the money?

    Hello! So I'm currently using a Sumiko Blue Point #2 on a Pro-ject RPM 5 and this is by far the best sounding cart I've ever owned. With that said I'm not sure I can (or want to) afford the 450 bucks to replace it every couple years. So I'm wondering if anyone had any opinions on any other...

    Distortion with new Pro-ject Primary Klipsch

    Hi, I recently bought a Pro-ject Primary Klipsch turntable, the basic model without the phono preamp. It's new and supposedly it needs no set-up, but I listen a lot of distortion in the middles I think. I can hear it even at low volume. The voice and highs sounds clear, but the middles sound...
