Pro-Ject turntables now available at Glick Audio and Video
LANCASTER Pa. - The growing momentum of the vinyl renaissance, fueled by the presence of four record shops in downtown Lancaster, has taken another step forward with the local arrival of Pro-Ject, a high quality turntable brand now available at Glick Audio and Video.
Glick Audio and Video has sold and serviced turntables since 1959. Increasing customer demand for affordable high-quality record players prompted the decision to add this acclaimed Austrian manufacturer to the list of turntables already available at the Lancaster store.
Charles Huss, our senior service technician and vinyl enthusiast was instrumental in bringing the Pro-Ject brand to Glick Audio and Video.
During its 18-year existence, Pro-Ject has flourished while creating a sizable market demand for high-performance, reasonably priced analog playback products and accessories. Pro-Ject has won numerous international awards and regularly receives highly favorable reviews from the audio press around the globe.
Heinz Lichtenegger, one of Austria's leading distributors of high-end audio brands, founded Pro-Ject Audio Systems in early 1990. As an audiophile and music lover, Heinz's interest in turntables and analog playback turned into a passion to create turntables, tonearms and analog accessories that were reasonably priced yet uncompromised both mechanically and sonically.
By 1990, the major suppliers of mid-priced turntables had all but disappeared. The few remaining turntable manufacturers had turned their backs on the entry and mid-level price points and instead concentrated on the "cost-no-object", high-end audiophile-oriented product. What was the music lover of modest means who either preferred an analog sound to that of digital or owned a cherished record collection to do? Heintz identified the market void that was created with the disappearance of so many "turntable classics" and set forth with the development of an entire line of quality, low-cost turntables.
By early spring 1990, a chance meeting led Heinz to identify a Czech Republic based audio factory. Ironically, this factory had once specialized in the manufacturing of turntables! In a dusty corner of the factory Heinz found a basic belt-drive manual turntable and the rest, as they say, is history.
