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.
Exclusive products are sold only through one, or sometimes a very small number of dealers. As part of their commitment to the product’s exclusivity, they carry most of the available stock.

"The Pro-Ject Signature 12 hoovers information out of the groove and turns it into something you feel, you can reach out and touch..."
Henley Says...
The Pro-Ject Signature turntable series represents the pinnacle of Pro-Ject’s craftsmanship and engineering. As true flagships, they combine the finest materials, cutting-edge technologies, and meticulously selected components to deliver an unparalleled Hi-Fi reproduction experience. While other turntables may focus on a few select technologies to maintain signal purity, the Signature models go above and beyond. They employ a full range of innovations, including damping, mass-loading, magnetic decoupling, and a flywheel mechanism, among others, to ensure the most refined and audiophile-level performance possible.
Listening to a Signature turntable in action is an experience that transcends the ordinary - every detail, every nuance is rendered with astonishing clarity and precision. We highly encourage you to experience it for yourself - contact us or your local dealer today for a demo. Once you hear what the Signature series can do, you won’t look back.
If you are interested in the Signature 12 and would like to know more, or are building a high-end system and would like some advice, reach out to one of our expert team today.
Pro-Ject Audio Systems are masters of the analogue format. Their extensive range of turntables covers every use-case and budget, and most are sold as complete solutions with a pick-up cartridge readily installed. However, when you get to higher end designs, there is often not a pre-installed cartridge - as the choice of pick-up becomes ever-more personal.
To help in this situation, Henley Audio, as distributors for Pro-Ject Audio Systems, Ortofon, Sumiko and E.A.T, can offer cartridge bundle and installation services that sees your high-end turntable sent ready to set-up and spin with your own choice of cartridge pre-installed.
Details of the cartridges we offer as part of this service can be found at the top of this page within 'promotions', but it covers premium Moving Coil options from various prestigious cartridge manufacturers. For latest info or to discuss your requirements, Contact Us or speak with your local Pro-Ject Reference Partner dealer. If you choose to purchase a bundle cartridge and have your dealer fit it, or fit it yourself, the cartridge will be supplied securely and safely with the turntable, but not with normal retail packaging.
All cartridges installed at Henley Audio will be treated with the utmost care and attention and fitted by a skilled and experienced member of our team. The turntable it's being installed on will also be set-up for a brief test, to confirm compatibility. All Henley Audio installed systems will have a certificate of authenticity enclosed, for added confidence when you get the turntable home. There is a £25.00 +VAT charge to have a Henley Audio engineer install your cartridge, and there may be a minor delay to despatching your turntable as a result.
Cartridges installed onto high-end turntables as part of a "bundle" deal are classified as BULK stock, which means they do not have full retail packaging and accessories. This is one of the ways we're able to offer such great discounts for you.
Yes, it is possible for this turntable to be upgraded with a true balanced connection to a supporting Pro-Ject phono stage.*
For turntables with an RCA output, you can purchase one of our RCA > MiniXLR or RCA > XLR cables, depending on the phono stage you are connecting to.
For turntables with a MiniXLR output, you can run a MiniXLR > MiniXLR or MiniXLR > XLR cable, depending on the phono stage you are connecting to.
For turntables with a 5pin TAC output, you can purchase a 5P > MiniXLR or 5P > XLR cable.
For more information on the True Balanced Connection concept click here.
*True Balanced Connections always require a Moving Coil cartridge to be installed.
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.
