Pro-Ject EVO 9 CC

The one-piece carbon fiber construction is exceptionally rigid and lightweight, which helps minimize unwanted resonance. By eliminating standing wave reflections, it allows the stylus to track the groove more accurately, resulting in a cleaner and more open soundstage.

The EVO 9 CC is designed for specific Pro-Ject turntables and requires a mounting distance of 212 mm. Before purchasing, verify that your turntable's plinth can accommodate this mounting geometry and that your current setup supports a 5-pin DIN connection.

These adjustments allow you to fine-tune the cartridge's physical relationship to the record groove. Proper vertical tracking angle (VTA) and azimuth alignment ensure the stylus sits perfectly in the groove, which is critical for reducing distortion and achieving the best possible channel balance.

This tonearm is compatible with cartridges weighing between 7 and 14 grams. Its effective mass of 8 grams makes it a versatile choice for a wide variety of moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.

The ABEC 7 inverted cardanic bearing uses stainless steel tips to provide extremely stable, low-friction movement. This precision allows the tonearm to track complex musical passages effortlessly, ensuring that delicate micro-details in the recording are preserved.

The TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) damping material inside the counterweight helps absorb and dissipate vibrations that might otherwise travel back into the armtube. This effectively reduces coloration and helps maintain a cleaner signal path from your cartridge.
