YouTube Reviews

Xtension 10 from Pro-Ject on YouTube

Now tweaked and upgraded, Paul Rigby (who has yet to be tweaked and upgraded) reviews this belt-driven turntable

This turntable arrives in a choice of finishes…

But I managed to grab the very nice Walnut burl…

The big news is the addition of a new power supply to the turntable.

    Hello, I was pleased to hear that Pro-ject is intending to improve their manual. My only question concerning this is, maintenance. Do I oil the motor bearing? My dealer claims he cannot get an answer.

      The bearing arrives ready to go, Drew – you won’t need to oil the bearing

        Hello Paul,

        That’s great. What about next year (I’ve already owned it for over a year) and 10 years from now? One would presume that a $4,000 turntable will last.

          Yes, indeed it should Drew. As long as you’re enjoying music from it then there’s no need to change it either.

            Paul,

            I apologize for not being clear. Let’s try this, shall we?
            If and when do I need to oil the motor?

            Hi Drew – this is such a non-specific thing, to be honest. I went to the trouble of asking experts in this field, Origin Live who not only make turntables but also produce their own highly-rated oil for sale. It said, “…oil change regularity is always a tricky question (like how often should I change my belt). It depends entirely on how much the deck is used. I would suggest about once every 3 to 5 years on average but I really don’t know for sure.”
            Hope that helps.
