There’s something magical about seeing your vinyl records spinning above the clear acrylic plinth of the XA B. Fielding multiple Pro-Ject technologies and built in Europe, this is a striking turntable – and a very capable one. The XA B’s inert chassis houses clean power circuits, an electronic speed control and a sub-platter with extremely tight bearing tolerances, all enabling smooth, reliable performance. A high-quality Pick it Pro Balanced cartridge is pre-mounted on a 10in tonearm for ease of use, resulting in engaging sonics without setup anxiety. And with the cartridge and the mini-XLR (balanced) output providing an upgrade path, the XA B is an excellent choice for vinyl lovers now and for the future.
