Matte, tactilely pleasing MDF, which is typical for many inexpensive turntables, acted as the material for the manufacture of the turntable table. It is worth noting the original (external) type of belt drive, which makes it easier to replace the belt, and also gives the appearance of Primary E additional expressiveness. I was also pleased with the massive platter, also made of MDF, which, in combination with large damping feet, confidently resists vibrations and resonances. As for the arm used, the situation is generally favorable, because, despite its cost, the device comes with a high-end straight version, equipped with an adjustable counterweight, anti-skating and a micro-lift. A non-removable branded pickup with an Ortofon OM MM cartridge is installed on the tonearm, which is distinguished by ease of operation and good sound characteristics.

And although the reviewed turntable represents the junior Primary line, its sound quality, however, is already approaching the turntables of the mid-budget price segment, which means that the listener is guaranteed a solid musical picture, pleasing with a sustained balance of frequencies and a pleasant color of the tonal range. In addition, it should be noted that the instruments and vocals are presented quite lively and exciting, more accurately conveying the emotional state of the musicians than is typical for inexpensive digital sound. In conclusion, it is important to mention that the Pro-Ject Primary E Phono OM NN is equipped with a built-in phono stage, which allows you to connect the turntable to any amplifiers or active acoustics, including portable ones.
