In Stock products are those that are currently held in stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse. This stock status is updated regularly but is subject to change at very short notice.
Products that are Awaiting Stock are items that we would normally carry on stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse, but are currently unavailable. Chances are there is already more on the way, but if you would like a more accurate availability status please feel free to Contact Us.
Urgent order items are products that we do not normally carry on stock, but they are typically held on stock by our European suppliers. Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.
Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.

What Hi-Fi? Awards 2023 - Best Turntables
"The Primary E remains a great entry level turntable."
Henley Says...
The E line of turntables from Pro-Ject are great starter decks that are easy to use and that take good care of your precious vinyl! With pre-set adjustments and (for the E1) a button-press speed control, it is a simple case of plug in and play to start enjoying your music. But this ease doesn't come at the expense of quality, Pro-Ject has very high standards when it comes to build and sound reproduction - meaning you can rest assured this deck will last a long time, and sound great while it does.
Many of our turntables may have multiple compatible counterweights available. The counterweight you actually need is the one that allows you to balance your existing cartridge while ideally sitting near the tonearm bearing when fully installed.
If your counterweight sits right at the back of the tonearm, it runs the risk of introducing some micro-vibrations, so aiming for a counterweight where your cartridge weight is in the lower range of the supported weights is ideal.
To help you make the right decision, we've produced a comprehensive list of all our tonearms and counterweights.
