Winter GIVEAWAY: Win a Pro-Ject Audio Essential II Digital Turntable

Pro-Ject Audio Systems Essental II Digital aka a Turntable GIVEAWAY !

Happy New Year! Pro-Ject Audio Systems and Headfonia are giving away one  unit of the Essential II Digital worth €379 to a lucky reader!!

Last week we promised to do a giveaway once our Facebook Page hit 8000 likes, and it did. Now we’re living up to what we promised. The Essential Digital II is an awesome turntable, not only for vinyl starters but for everyone. You can read all about it here:

From the review: 

“I have really enjoyed my time with the Essential II Digital and I can fully recommend it as a starter table. It’s easy to love as it’s cheap, works great and sounds addictive. In fact the Essential II has already made me curious for more. 

If you’re not sure if getting in to vinyl is something for you, do put the Essential II Digital on top of your list:

  • you won’t break the bank,
  • you get a quality turntable that looks great,
  • you don’t need an external phono stage,
  • you get qualitative and addictive sound,
  • you can convert the analog system to a digital one should you want to,
  • you can always sell it on the second hand market when (not if) you’re ready to upgrade.

The winner will receive the Essential II Digital review unit I have with me here. It is as good as new but it has been used before by myself for a couple of months. That being said, it looks and feels as good as new. It is the white version with the black disc and it will come with a EU power supply, that’s it.

    I thought for sure I had left a comment the other night but don’t see it now. Let’s try that again.

    I have been eyeballing Pro-Ject turntables for sometime now. I got into vinyl May 2015 as a college graduation gift to myself and bought a cheap record player as I knew nothing about TT’s. It works, but my love for vinyl has surpassed the functionality of that little record player. I am trying to upgrade sometime this year and this would be a great way to do so!
    Then I can gift my little record player to my young nieces and pass on the love of vinyl!!
