Overview
The X8 is our most affordable mass-loaded turntable yet. Positioned neatly between the X2 and Xtension 9, the X8 adopts and breaks down its bigger siblings’ features to make mass-loaded high-end design principles as accessible as never before.
MASSIVE 5.1KG PLATTER
The X8 offers a heavy, TPE damped mass-loaded platter precision lathed from a single aluminium block and finely balanced. On the Xtension 9 and 10 you cannot really play around with using different mats due to the glued on vinyl top. The X8 comes with a standard felt mat, also allowing you to experiment with different material mats in the future and tailor the sound to your taste.
CERAMIC TIPPED, MAGNETICALLY SUPPORTED INVERTED BEARING
A neodymium magnet decreases the load on the ceramic tipped bearing. Considering the massively heavy platter, this leads to a smoothly rotating base for your vinyl records and perfect speed stability.

Product Reviews
“The Pro-Ject X8 elevates the entire experience of playing an LP. This turntable offers spectacular build quality with its heavy plinth and extremely heavy platter. There’s something about a motor as it drives such weight that makes a spinning record seem far more substantial than what you experience with more lightweight turntables.” #TechHive

“I felt in the end this was a package with a serious turntable, a decent arm but a somewhat limiting cartridge. I struggled with the Quintet Blue’s lack of treble detail, speed and insight. But at the same time it did deliver powerful dynamics and a big meaty sound much in keeping with vinyl’s perceived heritage.” #7Review
