Pro-Ject Audio Systems Reviews 

It is great to listen my old and my new LPs with projekt, perfect sound.

Great product, robust packaging and a quick delivary. All good! :-)

Having one of their older quite expensive RIAA tube Amps, I contacted them to hear about the expected lifetime of the tubes since mine has quite some hours behind them. I got a confirmation email saying they would get in touch as soon as possible. That was January the 13th, and I haven't heard from them since. For products that expensive, one should think they offer better support. But no

This time, the problem was not just the product, but the complete lack of proper after-sales support.

After installing the turntable correctly, it caused my amplifier to overheat and permanently shut down. While this may sound unlikely, it is exactly what happened. What made the situation unacceptable was Pro-Ject’s response: an initial dismissive reply stating that such an issue was “impossible”, followed by complete silence—even after providing photos and sending a follow-up email.

Pro-Ject has built a strong reputation for quality, and this is not my first purchase from them. That is precisely why this experience was so disappointing.

The company could significantly improve by taking customer reports seriously, especially when a potential safety or equipment-damaging issue is involved, and by providing timely, professional follow-up instead of ignoring the customer once a problem is raised.

Great products, quick shipment

The product a very good but in the box there were screws, but not the right ones for the speakers and no assembly instructions in the package :/

Great item, fast delivery

It's a great turntable. Sounds good and it came packed perfectly. I had a little trouble setting it up, but response from the team was sudden and I've mastered it quickly. Recommend!

Top service! One item was out of stock and a few days later I received an upgrade of that item. 👍

Great and fast service and the package was well made considering the delicate material.
Thank’s.

I placed an order with Pro-Ject on December 30, 2025, and despite a considerable amount of time passing, the product has still not been shipped. What is more disappointing is that there has been no communication regarding this delay.

No update, no explanation, and no estimated shipping time were shared. Keeping customers waiting without any notification is not acceptable and does not reflect a professional service approach. Even if delays occur, customers should at least be informed clearly.

Unfortunately, my experience so far has been negative.

I was not able to finish my order in Pro-Ject web shop so I actually was not able to buy the product I wanted. So that is a problem in m mind.

I bought a system on line directly from Project Systems and had it delivered to Spain. During set up I found it impossible to balance the tome arm even though I was following the detailed instructions correctly and I have balanced tone arms for other systems without problem.
At first, likely due to the holiday period, there was a frustrating delay from customer service at Project, but when they did make contact, I must say that they went out of their way to help me solve the problem and were ready to send a new deck if needed. The interaction with customer service staff was professional, helpful, polite and efficient. I’m looking forward to experiencing the true quality of the system soon.

Conclusions: The Pro-Ject VC-S3 is an excellent product for cleaning dust and dirt from Vinyl LP’s. In my opinion, it is a “must have” for all serious Hi-Fi enthusiasts with a large collection of records. It will not recover LP’s that have serious surface damage such as scratches, nor was it designed to do so. It came well packaged and is relatively easy to use. My only criticism are the Operating Instructions. They are badly written and hence not easy to follow. With this criticism in mind, I have written a set of Operating Instructions which I think will make it a lot easier for new users to tackle cleaning their record collection from day one.

Everything perfect, support and transport

Excellent high quality product.
Sounds and looks great.
Supefast delivery.

Left channel goes intermittently on my Debut Carbon player.I changed the needle amp and phono stage . I only play the deck on the week ends and the fault just manifested itself just out of warranty. Contacted Pro -Ject just gave me the address of a repair shop. Considering the non-excessive use I think i fault should not happen. Furthermore, having looked up the net I found that this is a common fault with the Debut Carbon deck, I brought the deck back three times to the shop where I got it without any satisfaction. I foolishly bought a new sub-platter, throwing good money after bad. I hate this deck at this stage At this juncture I have contacted a repair service. Should have bought a Rega, which I plan to do when I get this fixed to trade in.

The perfect gift for anyone who loves music. I recommend Pro-Ject because of its modern and refined design, excellent music quality, and speed in shipping the order. It was a gift for my daughter, she is still speechless and happy. Thank you! My daughter also sent you a video (message) on Instagram.
