Description
Pro-Ject Xtension 9 is one of the most popular of Pro-Ject's high end turntables, a more compact alternative to the Xtension 10 and Signature models that offers the same high end build specification and performance at a far more accessible price.

Chassis
The Xtension 9 incorporates all of Pro-Ject's 20 years experience in turntable design. The chassis is made from MDF which gives a high mass and is non-resonant. But in addition the turntable also uses magnetic feet, which decouple the main plinth from its base. The result of this combination is a merging of the influential 'mass loaded' and 'floating turntable' design principles.
Platter
Instead of the old-standard adoption of pure metal for a main platter, Pro-Ject researched and uncovered a perfect alloy material, which has then be damped on the inner side with thermo plastic elastomers (TPE). Taking this base structure, they've then glued recycled Vinyl records to the top (which act as a perfect mat) and baked this 'sandwich' before precision balancing it. The Xtension 9 subsequently benefits from a wonderfully resonance-free, heavy platter, that runs ultra-silently on an inverted ceramic ball-bearing, with magnetic suspension.
Tonearm
The Xtension 9 comes pre-fitted with the Pro-Ject 9cc Evolution Tonearm. Constructed from carbon-fibre, the armtube is efficiently designed to lead parasitic vibrations away from the cartridge into the mounting board which guarantees the precise tracking of the record grooves by the needle and also facilitates fine adjustment of vertical and horizontal tracing.
Cartridge
Usually worth £599, the Pro-Ject Pick-It DS2 cartridge comes pre-fitted to the Xtension 9. An excellent cartridge, the Pick-It DS2 is considered one of the best potential matches available for this turntable.
Finally, the Xtension 9 is also supplied with a beautiful dustcover with adjustable hinges, and is available in three high-gloss lacquer finishes.

Press Reviews
'The Xtension 9 Evolution Super Pack is yet another combination of which Pro-Ject and Henley Designs can be proud. The careful downsizing of the original Xtension design, plus the addition of an updated tonearm that incorporates immediately obvious improvements, results in a turntable combination with few vices. Add in a superb cartridge at a discounted price and the result is a veritable bargain.' (HiFi News Highly Recommended)
