"When Pro-Ject took over the German factory responsible for the classic automatic hifi turntable, they immediately improved the base model with the Automat A1. With the higher-end A2, they've reinvented the automatic. With an improved automatic mechanism, sub-chassis, and tonearm, Pro-Ject has created the finest automatic we've encountered." - TTL
