Y ou don’t need to set eyes on Pro-Ject’s Primary E turntable to know it has a lot going for it. It’s the most affordable traditionally designed Pro-Ject turntable – the brand’s £179 Elemental deck has a platter that sits over a long and thin, plank-like chassis (imagine a pizza draped over a wooden serving board).
And the E is also more or less a twin of the original Pro-Ject Primary deck to which we also handed five stars. Like most twins, things are very similar (the pricing is comparable) although there are one or two key differences; for example, the Primary E’s power supply is built into the deck rather than the plug. Buyers are offered the choice of a red, white or – as shown here – black finish.
