Pro-Ject’s budget offering makes a great first turntable
£229
The corners of the chassis are a little sharp, but it’s a minor grumble
The plug-and-play nature of the Primary E makes it easy to set up
This is the most affordable traditionally designed Pro-Ject turntable, and it has claimed top spot in our best budget record players buying guide for many years now. The brand’s similarly priced 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 Pro-Ject Primary, another great turntable.
