## Description

Product Description Like when the original, now iconic, Debut turntable burst onto the scene in 1999, the Primary E has been designed to offer a hi-fi friendly alternative to vinyl music lovers who are limited by their budget. Where the majority of affordable turntables are impacted by flimsy, plastic components or poor quality accessories, the Primary E is a reliable, made-in-Europe product designed by a leading analogue audio company. Protect your records and enjoy their sound with Primary E. Offering exactly the same features and performance as the multi-award winning Primary record player, the Primary E is available for an even more appealing budget because of its direct-wired 230V motor. Pro-Ject Primary E Highlights Low vibration synchronous motor direct-fed by mains Pre-adjusted tracking force & anti-skating force Pre-mounted Ortofon OM cartridge Acrylic lid included The quiet-running, stable motor is direct-fed to the mains - like many other popular designs from the Pro-Ject range, such as the original, award-winning Debut Carbon - reducing the need for internal signal processing and an external power supply. The end result of this change is a turntable that still sounds like a true piece of hi-fi, but that costs less than ever before. The Primary E's 8.6" aluminium tonearm uses sapphire bearings for optimal tracking across a record side. The tonearm is designed specially for use with the supplied Ortofon OM cartridge, and it's pre-configured to play straight out of the box with no fiddly setup. What Hi-Fi?, August 2018 “The Primary E confidently nails the basics, from an even tonal balance to a delivery that’s clear and clean and spacious enough to keep things coherent." Wired Magazine, November 2018 "it’s an entertaining and enjoyable listen. Smoothly easy-going where Spotify files or CDs are spiky and edgy, the Primary E is a classic gateway drug. Six months on the Pro-Ject and you’ll be mainlining vinyl for the rest of your life." Hi-Fi Choice, 2018 "Setting an impressive standard for the entry-level, this plug-and-play deck is perfectly pitched."

Review: Excellent entry level turntable for any budding audiophile! - Fantastic sounding turntable and perfect for any budding audiophile! I originally started out with an Ion Pro 80 a few weeks ago which was perfect for getting me into the hobby whilst I was slowly building my collection but I felt with my system there was a lot more potential. I am running a Rotel RA01 with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 loud speakers and Chord cables with banana plugs. With this combination using the Rotels inbuilt phono stage I get a sound that's dynamic, big and detailed. There's a lack of sound stage depth compared to my Schitt Modi DAC and Roon streaming setup but for an entry level turntable with it's factory fitted cartridge this is more than good enough for anyone to get up and running with vinyl and is providing satisfying results that have me listening over and and over and over and over again! A word of warning however, this record player is very finnicky and requires some extra patience as there's no auto stop or button to change speeds, this has to be done manually with the belt but if you're careful and crave excellent sound quality at a reasonable price look no further! This is a fantastic step in anyone's vinyl journey and I'm very excited to continue to build my collection and making small upgrades to this turntable to get the best sound I can!
Review: No frills turntable with excellent sound. - I bought this turntable as an upgrade to a cheap USB model that I had bought in order to get back in to vinyl. I paired it with the Project Phono Box MM preamp and Ruark MR1 speakers. The turntable was easy to set up, although fitting the drive belt to the platter was a little fiddly (might be annoying if you wish to switch RPM often). As long as you have used a turntable before the Primary E is very easy to use, and the instructions provide plenty of guidance should you need to adjust the counterweight or tracking force (this should not be required unless you replace the cartridge). The sound was great, with low noise and a full, rich sound with plenty of bass. Ok so there aren't any fancy gadgets, but this means that all the money has been spent on making it sound a good as it can, which for the price is pretty darn good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, with some advice for newbies
*by R***R on 30 August 2025*

Good record player, highly recommend for the uninitiated, with some advice. Do not let the following caveats put you off, see the end of this review! Buy the Phono Box E by Pro-ject. Don't trust that the arm is correctly weighted as advised in the Manual. You should calibrate this when you get it. I think the cartridge is correctly calibrated but check this too. The rubber band which turns the turntable can be tricky to install, but is fine once in place. Mine needed replaced as it broke, but the seller did this promptly. This player is missing a number if features that a lot of much more expensive players have. This means you may find it difficult to tune it for absolutely the best sound. But please, do not let any of the above put you off purchasing, this turntable produces excellent sounding music, and great at the price. This is certainly a good choice for someone who is looking to get into records for the first time and wants that next-level listening experience. Once you know you love it, you can shell out thousands for a model that has all the bells and whistles.
