It introduces new audiophile features and raises the performance bar for its price range! With its user-selectable integrated phono preamp, factory installed Sumiko Rainier cartridge, larger chassis, electronic speed control, and spring-based anti-skating feature, the T2 Super Phono is the perfect fit for the audiophile seeking to bring premium build and sound quality to their cherished vinyl collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTop-Quality Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegantly crafted CNC-machined plinth has been expanded in size to enhance stability \u0026amp; tonearm geometry. Available in 3 striking finishes (gloss black, satin white or Walnut laminate), no plastic is used in its construction! Also free of resonant hollow spaces, it effectively prevents unwanted vibration within the chassis. Compared to the T1, the glass platter is thicker \u0026amp; heavier which ensures a zero-resonance design that eliminates the shortcomings associated with plastic or cheap steel alternatives. Purpose-selected turntable feet effectively isolate the T2 from ambient vibrations in the vicinity of your hi-fi system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/pro-ject-t2-w-black-0-lifestyle.jpg?v=1698177515\" alt=\"Pro-Ject T2 black on white decorative cabinet in living space\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium Built-In Phono Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2 Super Phono implements a high-quality dual-stage split-passive MM phono preamp (first seen in Pro-Ject's \u003ca title=\"Pro-Ject T2 W Audiophile Wi-Fi Streaming Turntable\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/pro-ject-t2-w-wireless-turntable\"\u003ecritically acclaimed T2 W\u003c\/a\u003e).

The motor drives the flat belt which drives the anti-resonant sub-platter. The sub-platter is mounted to an ultra-precise main bearing comprised of a hardened steel axle in brass bushing (machined to a tolerance of 0.001mm!) Where most alternative products use unregulated DC motors with wide speed fluctuations, the T2 uses an electronically-regulated, precision-speed AC motor. Electronic speed change between 33 and 45rpm is accessible with the rocker switch as well! All told, it's a highly-stable \u0026amp; ultra-low-noise drive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono rocker switch and PCB\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/pro-ject-t2-sp-sc-switch.jpg?v=1711999511\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTonearm \u0026amp; Anti-Skating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2's tonearm has been improved for better cartridge geometry. Still a one-piece aluminum design, its effective length improves to 9\". It adds an updated, low-friction bearing to accommodate the increased length and diameter for absolute accuracy. Aside from clean aesthetics, the integrated headshell is a key player in minimizing arm tube resonance (bonded headshells have adverse effects in terms of resonance). The T2 also features user-friendly spring-based anti-skating for fast and accurate setup. Since the Sumiko Rainier is factory-aligned with the tracking force set, simply turn the wheel to your desired value, and you're done with adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSumiko Rainier + Semi-Balanced Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2 Super Phono includes the acclaimed high-value \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Sumiko Rainier MM Phono Cartridge\" href=\"https:\/\/sumikophonocartridges.com\/product\/rainier-mm-phono-cartridge\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSumiko Rainier MM phono cartridge\u003c\/a\u003e which synergizes beautifully with the built-in phono stage.
