ProJect 6.1 Belt Drive Turntable

The Pro-Ject 6.1 is a legendary high-end audiophile turntable built around a true, spring-isolated floating sub-chassis design. Unlike standard rigid turntables, the 6.1 completely mechanically separates the tonearm and platter from the motor and outer frame using an adjustable three-point suspension system.

This creates a completely black, whisper-quiet background, allowing your cartridge to pull incredible dynamics, deep soundstaging, and pure detail out of your vinyl.

Beautifully framed with a classic retro wood-trim lower base perimeter, this gorgeous deck has been meticulously inspected, tuned, and fully calibrated in our Auckland workshop.

So why buy it?

True Floating Sub-Chassis: The tonearm and main bearing are mounted to a completely independent internal triangular platform suspended by adjustable isolation springs. This blocks all motor rumble and external room vibrations from traveling up to the stylus.

Premium Grado Moving Iron Cartridge: Fitted with a high-end Grado cartridge. Grado is world-renowned for its unique moving-iron design, offering an incredibly lush, warm mid-range, natural vocals, and a smooth, non-fatiguing top end that pairs wonderfully with the analog soul of this deck.

Massive Balanced Platter: Features a heavy, precision-machined aluminum-alloy rimmed platter paired with a precision-ground stainless steel spindle running inside a low-friction brass bearing housing for rock-solid, pitch-perfect speed rotation.

Decoupled Synchronous AC Motor: The quiet-running drive motor is anchored entirely to the decoupled outer chassis frame and drives the platter via a high-torque peripheral belt, keeping mechanical motor noise entirely out of the signal path.

Premium High-End Tonearm: Equipped with a highly rigid, low-resonance straight armtube featuring a heavy cylindrical counterweight mechanism and decoupled anti-skating post designed to maximize modern tracking performance.

Fully Serviced by Turntable Guy: Professionally calibrated, leveled, and suspension-tuned so you can take it home, plug it straight in, and enjoy flawless high-fidelity performance.
