6.9 Perspective model, produced in the 90s of the last century.\u00a0It was this model that marked Pro-Ject&#8217;s entry into the high-end turntable market, building on the commercial success of Pro-Ject 1 and 2 and bringing the manufacturer into a higher price category.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pro-Ject Perspective Final Edition Turntable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With a larger budget in mind, the 6.9 Perspective development team changed its approach from the super-rugged rigid-base design of the Models 1 and 2, one-piece tonearm and heavy platter, to the use of vibration isolation.\u00a0In the 6.9 Perspective turntable, the tonearm and platter were located on an additional chassis, isolated from the main chassis by a spring suspension, which made it possible to protect these turntable components from vibrations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/106_techweek.webp\"

style=\"text-align: left;\">The 2023 Pro-Ject Perspective Final Edition player further enhances vibration isolation with a split subchassis and three adjustable spring mounts that prevent vibration from reaching the stylus.\u00a0In addition, the Pro-Ject Perspective Final Edition&#8217;s main acrylic chassis is supported by three height-adjustable aluminum spikes designed to reduce the contact area with the mounting surface, further isolating the turntable from external vibrations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The 2023 Pro-Ject Perspective Final Edition features a two-speed motor with electronic speed selector, eliminating the original multi-motor solution.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
