Metallica Turntable From Pro-Ject

31st May 2022

The Metallica Limited Edition Turntable, complete with mirror-finish and an aluminium sub-platter

The diamond-cut sub-platter and pulley come standard on this Metallica deck. There’s more aluminium for the 8.6mm, S-shape tonearm’s base and bearing.

I may be wrong but the arm looks like an updated/tweaked version of that found on the now deleted Debut III S Audiophile. Which also offered an S-shaped configuration. 

The whole thing sits upon height-adjustable metal feet.

The turntable arrives with a Pick it S2 C cartridge and detachable SME headshell. Tracking force and anti-skating are both adjustable.
