Product Description
This Pro-Ject Xtension 9 turntable has been opened to show a customer the finish, but the turntable itself is unused and is as new, complete with all accessories and the full warranty. If you don't mind the fact the outer box has been opened, this is a rare opportunity
For more info, see our main Xtension 9 page.
Press Reviews
-
'The Xtension 9 Evolution Super Pack is yet another combination of which Pro-Ject and Henley Designs can be proud. The careful downsizing of the original Xtension design, plus the addition of an updated tonearm that incorporates immediately obvious improvements, results in a turntable combination with few vices. Add in a superb cartridge at a discounted price and the result is a veritable bargain.' (HiFi News Highly Recommended)

'A well designed arm and cartridge, plus a good quality drive system and heavy platter should also be a recipe for a good bass performance and so it generally proved to be with the Pro-Ject. As per the rest of the frequency range, there was a pleasing sense of quiet competence in the way in which the deck approached the lower end of the frequency spectrum.' (HiFi News Highly Recommended)

'I was pleased to hear that the Xtension 9 Evolution Super Pack exhibits that certain indefinable sonic "rightness" that generally characterises the upper reaches of the Pro-Ject range for me. I have always found them to be designs that offer no short-term sonicfi reworks or any kind of dubious superficial impressiveness that soon wears off. Rather, they make music in an understated and alluring manner that simply seems more and more enjoyable as different material is played. In the case of the Xtension 9, I was immediately struck by the superbly low levels of groove noise and general background mush. (HiFi News Highly Recommended)

'Pro-ject kicked off its Xtension line-up back in 2009 with the Xtension 12, a relatively large deck designed to take 12-inch tonearms. This SuperPack sees the company’s more rack-friendly Xtension 9 Evolution turntable pre-fitted with the latest version of its one-piece carbon fibre 9CC Evolution tonearm plus the range-topping Black moving-coil cartridge from Ortofon’s Quintet series. The result is a turntable that sounds smooth and assured, yet is certainly no slouch when it comes to digging deep into the grooves in search of detail. Add clarity, crispness and a presentation that manages to sound solid yet punchy when the occasion demands and you have a turntable package that is nothing if not value for money' (Eisa awards 2014)
