The Classic meets the 175 VPO to melt
design-ideas
The new Classic Evo is based on the successful EISA
Award winner The Classic and the experience we won de-
signing and building our icon turntable the 175 VPO. The
main improvement is the sub-platter, where we used the
experience we gained from designing the Vienna Philhar-
monic Recordplayer to add key changes to the Classic
Evo, adding performance features that are rarely seen in
this price category. For improved comfort, an electronic
speed change was built in, which lets you switch from 33
to 45 rpm (and vice versa) with the push of a button.
Improved sandwich Subchassis
Compared to the old Classic, we improved the subchas-
sis; we tried to make it heavier and stier to reduce reso-
nances.
Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of
the motor and main plinth is the target.
Platter & sub-platter
The heavy aluminium main platter construction utilises
advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE*) for optimi-
sing resonance behaviour.
A drawback for most of the old designs was the platter.
Casted platters all have been heavy (which is good for
speed constancy and low wow and utter) but suered
very much from ringing eects which again caused co-
louration of the sound. The platter of The Classic Evo is
precisely machined out of a special aluminium alloy again
damped with TPE*, which oers special damping abilities.
The main bearing construction we use is a similar system
as the one on the Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer.

The diamond cut precision alu sub-platter, like in the li-
mited edition Vienna Philharmonic Recordplayer, enables
much improved tolerances.
This extraordinarily sophisticated part is accurately ma-
chined and guarantees a very good isolation between
bearing noise and the platter itself.
New carbon/aluminium tonearm
The radical new designed Classic tonearm is the result of
25 years of experience in mechanical construction. The
tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and
aluminium: carbon for stiness and speed, alu for better
damping. The bearing has been upgraded to the same
type that is used on our Pro-Ject CC EVO tonearms. It
facilitates frictionless vertical and horizontal movement,
guaranteeing precise tracking across the entire duration
of the record. The counterweight incorporates a TPE*
damper which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the
tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 50%.
As typical for Pro-Ject and absolutely not standard at
that price range we oer also azimuth and VTA adjust-
ment to use a variety of cartridges. Dierent counter-
weight for cartridges up to 25 grams are available as an
option.

acrylic dust cover are included.

We supply as standard the Ortofon Quintet Red moving
coil cartridge. However, as the tonearm oers excellent
damping and exibility as well, its eective mass can
be called middle heavy, so it is also a very good partner
for MC cartridges. As the Classic is a wonderful state of
the art deck, we decided to use an MC cartridge to use
the potential of the player. MC cartridges are expensive,
but the better choice. They are rarely used at such a
pricepoint. We are therefore convinced to oer you an
unbeatable price-performance packge.
