However, the T2 does include super shielded, semi-symmetrical, low-capacitance phono cables, purpose-designed by Pro-Ject – not your run-of-the-mill RCA cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighest Quality Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegantly crafted CNC-machined plinth has been expanded in size to enhance stability and is available in striking finishes such as High Gloss Black, Satin White, or Walnut. It boasts a construction free of plastic components and meticulous manufacturing that eliminates any hollow spaces within, effectively preventing unwanted vibrations within the chassis. Furthermore, the glass platter in the T2 has been made heavier and thicker compared to its predecessor, ensuring a zero-resonance design that effectively eliminates the shortcomings associated with plastic or lightweight steel alternatives. Complementing these improvements, purpose-selected turntable feet effectively isolate the T2 from ambient vibrations present in the vicinity of your hi-fi system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Pro-Ject T2 black on white decorative cabinet in living space with human lowering tonearm\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/pro-ject-t2-0-lifestyle.jpg?v=1712017184\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpeed Control, Motor \u0026amp; Drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2's motor and drive system remain identical to those found in the T1. 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\u003eNew Tonearm \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\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2 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.
