Although an affordable turntable designed to make vinyl accessible to all, Pro-Ject’s E1.2 doesn’t skimp on quality. Offering robust bass and fulsome vocals, this is a disc spinner that’s equally suited to modern pop releases and vintage jazz. The plug ’n’ play design includes a pre-adjusted Pick it MM E cartridge to take the sting out of setup, and the step-by-step manual helps vinyl novices get quickly on their way. It’s a complete package too, supplied with dust cover, felt mat, and high-quality RCA cable. The E1.2 is a welcome, well-rounded offering in the often ‘quirky’ budget segment, and there are options with Bluetooth output or phono stage integration to make system setup even easier.
