Review: Amazing value - This is an entry level HiFi turntable that simple works well. Its manual. It looks cool and the cartridge is forgiving. (ie. Lp's that won't track on my reference turntable track fine on this. I use it to demo used Lp's or Lp's that haven't been cleaned yet. At !/2 price, its a steal!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does it compare to the pro-ject debut esprit sb?**

I've been very pleased with the turntable. Sorry I couldn't provide you with a comparison review.

**Q: Does it come with a dust cover?**
A: Yes, it comes with a dust cover. It's a great turntable.

**Q: 220 volt compatible?**
A: Yes, these models come with a universal power supply.

**Q: Is there a Bluetooth version with acrylic platter and carbon tonearm?**
A: No, there is not a model that offers a Bluetooth Audio output with that feature set. You can always add a Phono preamp with built-in Bluetooth transmitter if you'd like to add Bluetooth Capability and Acrylic platters are available as an upgrade for most Pro-Ject turntables

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is my first real turntable.
*by A***Y on August 27, 2023*

I used to have an audiotechnica LP60 which was not forgiving on my vinyl, so when I decided to upgrade to something a bit more "real" I decided on this Harrison Project at half price! Found a Youtube video that made it easy to set up, and with an inexpensive pre-amp, voila! I was in vinyl heaven.. I played my Beatles blue box which had albums that used to skip, not anymore with this Project!!!!! Played my Beatles collection flawlessly and the sound just blew me away. I'm no audiophile by any stretch but this record player sure hit the sweet spot. No turning back now! Now I just need to stop spending so much on vinyl....help!
