Pro-Ject A2 Belt-Drive Tunrtable With Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge - Black

A2 TECHNOLOGYThe A2 continues the success of our fully mechanical automatic turntables. With the A2, you can now select the drop off point for 7“ (singles) or 12“ (LPs) for 45 RPM records. We have also added 78 RPM to the system allowing you to dig back into old shellac collections. To enjoy listening to your A2, just press start and the tonearm automatically moves to the lead in groove of the record. Once playing, the automatics are completely taken out of the equation.And because the automatics are working entirely mechanically – no additional electronics needed – they truly do not influence or degrade sound quality during playback!

This isolates all the most critical turntable elements further …

Under its founder, the style of the modern woman was invented, through the image of Gabrielle Chanel herself. She dressed women to be free, and her emancipated clothes reflected the shifting landscape of society. Her designs fundamentally affected what we wear, and how we wear it. The work of the hou…
