Pro-Ject Eltax European Turntable System
Plenty of people are getting into vinyl, either for the first time or after a time away while CD's and music downloads distracted them. But, many would also like a streaming option and this charming Turntable system also has Bluetooth built-in which allows you to stream music from your smart device as well as playing records.
We often talk about British or Japanese or American Hi-Fi as these are some of the best and most widely known, but this charming system shows what the Europeans can achieve when they work together. Eltax from Denmark and Pro-Ject from Austria combine to produce an aesthetically pleasing system which sounds great and ticks every convenience box as well.
We've gone for the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB turntable over the standard T1 because, if you have both 33's and 45's in you collection, which most of us do, it has one great advantage – electronic speed change – which makes playing all your different records a whole lot cruisier. The remote controlled Eltax Monitor III BT powered speakers are a 2-way 50 Watt design with a front facing port which means they can easily be placed on bookshelves or close to a wall.
We think you'll really like this system as everything is beautifully built and it sounds large and dynamic, suitable for all but the biggest rooms. You also have the option to plug your TV in if you like via the Optical input on the Eltax loudspeakers. Oh, and we think the all-white combo looks absolutely smashing, although the walnut turntable with black speakers is also a very smart looking choice. Whichever way you skin it we think you'll be very happy with this compact, big hearted system.
Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable
The Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB manual, belt drive turntable ticks all the boxes at a very affordable price. It uses a quality Ortofon cartridge, a one piece tonearm, non-resonant glass platter, electronic speed change and a switchable phono stage. And it sounds good. What more could you want?
The T1 from Pro-Ject Audio Systems is a new generation of turntable, aiming to deliver true high-fidelity sound on a limited budget. Boasting premium materials, stylish aesthetics and a rich, lively sound, the extensive development process has ensured that even though the price is affordable there has been no compromise in sonic performance.
The T1 Phono SB is an affordable marvel. Still made in Europe by a turntable factory with decades of experience, it is a true hi-fi turntable that looks and sounds sublime. To say it ticks every box is an understatement. There is nothing anywhere near this price that has all this: rigid one piece tonearm, Ortofon moving magnet cartridge, electronic speed change for 33⅓ & 45rpm, non-resonant glass platter & the icing on the cake, a switchable built-in phono stage so you can use it with almost any amplifier or powered speakers. The new standard at this price point.

Eltax Monitor III BT Powered Speakers
Enjoy top quality, stereo sound plus the convenience of Bluetooth, with the Eltax Monitor III BT. Thanks to wireless Bluetooth connectivity, it's easy to pair your smartphone, tablet or laptop and stream your favourite music. Listen to your favourite streaming service, such as Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL or Deezer, in top quality stereo sound. You can also stream stored music via your Bluetooth connected laptop or other device, making this an ideal solution for rediscovering your music collection.
Quality, Hi-Fi Stereo Sound: Unlike a regular Bluetooth speaker, the Eltax Monitor III BTs are hi-fi speakers at heart. Based on the award-winning Eltax Monitor III, this Bluetooth version has an enviable heritage. With soft dome tweeters, you can be assured of a smooth yet detailed top-end response. Matching this are long-throw woofers for natural vocals and powerful bass. If this isn't quite enough bass, there's even a sub output for the connection of your choice of subwoofer.
A great advantage with these active Bluetooth speakers is the built-in amp. With a punchy 2 x 25 watt amplifier on board, the speakers are more than capable of filling a room with music, without the need for a separate amp. This gives a much less cluttered look, without giving up the sonic advantage of stereo sound.
