Pro-Ject

Pro-Ject Audio has been reviving music since 1990. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, when factories were closing in droves, founder Heinz Lichtenegger bought a turntable factory in the small Czech town of Litovel. Retaining the experienced staff and re-imagining classic turntable designs, he went to work constructing low cost, design-oriented turntables that would help people rediscover music the way it should be.

They're still working with the same staff out of the same small factory in Litovel. They've kept revising low cost options for the easiest use, best sound and cleanest finish. But also building midrange and high end turntables... and a whole lot more.
