At A$1,500, this sits right on the median of the recent comparable AUD listings, so it reads as fair value rather than a steal or an ask that’s pushing the market. It is comfortably above the 25th percentile at A$798 and just under the 75th percentile at A$1,776, which is exactly where a clean, well-kept example often belongs.
That makes it a sensible buy if the deck is complete and functions properly, because this model is well regarded for its solid build, good speed stability, and generally musical, low-fuss presentation. In excellent condition, the upside is getting a premium-feeling table without paying top-of-range money; just make sure the dust cover, platter, arm hardware, and original accessories are all there, since those details matter to value on this line.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pro-Ject Audio Systems traces its roots to 1991 in Austria's Weinviertel region, north of Vienna, where founder Heinz Lichtenegger launched the brand amid the CD revolution. Kicked out of music school as a youth, Lichtenegger channeled his passion for analog sound into affordable, high-quality turntables at a time when vinyl seemed obsolete. His debut Pro-Ject 1, hand-assembled in the Czech Republic, earned rave reviews as a top high-end device, igniting a success story that relocated headquarters to Vienna before returning to Mistelbach in Lower Austria.
The brand excels in turntables, establishing itself as the world's largest and leading producer in that category, while expanding into a full spectrum of hi-fi components since 2000. Offerings include amplifiers, DACs, headphone amps, speakers, cables, and phono stages, all emphasizing essential sound reproduction with durable materials and minimalist design. Manufacturing remains European—primarily in Czechia, Slovakia, and Germany—prioritizing sustainability through local sourcing, short transport, and products built for longevity.
Pro-Ject holds a commanding niche as the go-to for mid-tier audiophiles seeking boutique European craftsmanship without extravagant pricing. Distributed in over 80 countries, it appeals to vinyl revivalists and discerning buyers who value analog purity, innovation, and value-driven performance over flashy excess, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in accessible high-fidelity.
