The Starter Turntable System contains a Pro-Ject Audio turntable, Rotel amplifier and Monitor Audio speakers - leaders in the premium audio world who've been around for decades.

The Pro-Ject Primary E is hand-crafted in Czechia with a single purpose: to extract deep detail from your music. The build quality at this price level is incredible, meaning you'll be spinning vinyl for years (without damaging it in the process). Precise tolerances and electronics make the platter spin evenly and at the correct speed. No plastics in the plinth along with shock-absorbing feet ensure unwanted vibrations don't make their way into the signal. A light aluminium tonearm and pre-fitted Ortofon diamond cartridge pick up the delicate grooves in your records without coloration, and in a way that will be delicate with your precious vinyl collection. Shifting speeds from 33 to 45 RPM is as easy as switching the drive belt on the Primary E’s pulley which takes seconds.

You can think of the Rotel A10 amplifier as a mini generator, connecting to your turntable, receiving the faint signal from your record, and applying power to feed your speakers. The A10 does this important work without adding distortion or colouration to your music.

Rotel has been making amplifiers since before you were born. They're a family-owned business that owns their own factory, where they hand-wind power transformers and delicately craft audio products that are known to last for decades. The A10 is perfect for vinyl lovers and hi-fi beginners, with timeless style and rich, classic analogue sound. Showcasing the Japanese brand’s decades of experience in making high-quality audio equipment, it's crafted to impeccable standards for this price level. A good amplifier like the A10 applies this power cleanly and without adding distortion or colouration to the delicate signal coming from your record (or optional Bluetooth receiver). The amp has inputs for multiple sources, so it's very future-ready. One of those will be your shiny new turntable, but if you have a CD player already, this can plug in too, as can a wired analogue audio source like an iPod.

Loudspeakers convert an amplified music signal into physical sound. We want this final step to be performed accurately and evenly across the spectrum of human hearing, even when the volume's up loud! The Monitor Audio Monitor 50 speakers that come with our system do this superbly. Monitor Audio is one of the UK's storied loudspeaker manufacturers, up there in reputation with Bowers & Wilkins, KEF, Dynaudio and JBL. The square form factor is compact and allows for easy placement around the home. But don't let their size fool you. The high-frequency tweeters and bass drivers create a full-range frequency response which will produce life-like sound from any music thrown at them. The Monitor 50's modern square cabinets complement the 51/2" MMP II drivers and 25 mm black C-CAM tweeters. By placing the tweeters in the top corner of the speakers, Monitor Audio has been able to reduce the size of the cabinet and give a unique appearance.

To cap it all off we also include all the necessary cables for your Starter Turntable System.
