Meet the Exceptional X8 Evolution
-Has a little mark on the ride hand side
- Ortofon Quintet Black MC Cartridge (brand new never used)
The ProJect X8 Evolution takes a number of design cues from ProJect's high-end Xtension ( and Xtension 10 models and presents them at a more affordable price point.
Utilising ProJects "True Balanced Connection" the X8 is an outstanding entry into ProJects comprehensive line of state of the art turntables.
Mass-loaded platter
5.1kg heavy
The X8 offers a heavy, TPE damped mass-loaded platter which is lathed from a single aluminium block. Meanwhile underneath the platter, a neodymium magnet offers opposing force to decrease the load on the ceramic-tipped bearing, ensuring outstandingly consistent playback of your favourite LPs.
Inverted bearing
Stainless Steel Spindle
The inverted platter bearing is supported by a neodymium magnet that decreases the load on the ceramic tipped bearing.
Mass-loaded Chassis
Carbon tonearm
The X8 inherited the massive MDF chassis and the top-of-the-line Pro-Ject 9cc EVO carbon tonearm from its larger siblings.
Metal Feet
Damped & height adjustable
The three height adjustable damped aluminium feet guarantee the perfect stand & massively reduce risk of acoustical feedback.
33/45 RPM
Precision controlled
Switch speeds at the push of a button and enjoy stable and accurate speeds due to the built in electronic speed control.
True Balanced
Unleash the full power
The X8 is ready for our new True Balanced Connection. Single-ended RCA connections, quite literally, only use half of your cartridge's output. With one of our new True Balanced phono cables wired to a Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, Phono Box RS or RS2 you'll be able to hear your MC cartridge in its entirety!
Handmade in EU

Ortofon Quintet Black Phono Cartridge
The Quintet Black is the best example of Quintet’s overall excellence.
The Quintet Black is graced with a Nude Shibata diamond, considered one of the best stylus profiles available, mounted on a high-performance Boron cantilever.
The Shibata’s slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the walls of the groove and ensures detailed and pure reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information.
The Quintet Black will be unfettered by musical genre and will give the closest approach within the Quintet series to Ortofon’s true accuracy in sound.
