the components
Speakers: KEF LSX
Why we chose it: Simply put, the KEF LSX speakers offer truly excellent sound in a small and efficient package. Add in the convenience and connectivity of wireless streaming, and these speakers are a no-brainer; the emotion and detail of a true high-resolution stereo system, all in a compact footprint designed to fit almost anywhere.
Turntable: Pro-Ject X1 Turntable
Why we chose it: X1 is the 7th Generation of the hi-fi classic Pro-Ject 1, first presented in 1991, that put Pro-Ject on the map. This newest iteration features a completely reengineered carbon fiber / aluminum tone-arm with a resonance damping counterweight for lightning quick dynamics and resistance to external interference. The new 1.5kg non-resonant acrylic platter features an all new sub-platter drive system with stainless steel bearing, soft brass bushing, and Teflon mirrors for perfectly smooth rotation. As a special feature, this turntable comes with the lauded Sumkio Olympia cartridge Factory-Installed.
Phono Pre-amp: Pro-ject Phono Box S2
Why we chose it: Having a discrete phono pre-amplifier allows you to get the most out of you vinyl and Pro-Ject’s Phono Box S2 does just that with a host of audiophile features rarely seen at this price point. With adjustable gain, impedance and capacitance you can fine tune the loading of any cartridge for optimal sound. Furthermore, the Phono Box s2 employs a dual-mono design for superior channel separation to give your records a level of depth you’ve never experienced before. When it comes to Phono pre-amplifiers there isn’t a better value or match for this system.
