  • Product Description

    Time for Evolution. We have taken our most popular turntable design and improved every aspect of it.

    detail1

    feet

    platter

    control

    Improved motor suspension

    The Debut Carbon EVO features our new designed motor suspension. We have improved the old design to consistently reduce the vibrations better than before.

    Adjustable TPE-damped isolation feet

    The new Debut Carbon Evo stands on three height adjustable damped aluminium feet to get the perfect stand.

    Massive TPE-damped steel record platter

    We added a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) ring on the inside of the platter. The result is an even quieter and noiseless operation with less wow and flutter.

    Electronic speed changer & stabilizer

    The rocker switch on the buttom of the turntable allows you to change speeds with the push of only a single button.

    debut

    The Evolution

    The new Debut Carbon EVO represents the epitome of Pro-Ject’s philosophy: high performance, clean aesthetics, and superb value.

    motor

    Redesigned motor suspension

    We used our technology and experience gained from the past and fit damping techniques of highend turntables into the Debut Carbon EVO.

    back

    A Stable Stance

    A perfectly leveled, solid & stable platform is crucially important for proper vinyl playback. Our new Debut Carbon EVO uses 3 height adjustable heavy-duty metal feet to ensure a level positioning on every surface.

    From the record to your amplifier.

    Factory mounted and aligned Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge

    The Rainier offers a replaceable stylus that can be easily upgraded to a Sumiko Olympia (or even a Moonstone!) in a matter of seconds.

    8,6 inch carbon tonearm

    The new Debut Carbon EVO features the proven 8,6‘‘ one piece Carbon tonearm design. The super stiff, but lightweight tonearm delivers an insane sound quality with a convincing sound stage.

    Gold platet output sockets

    The signal from the Rainier is transmitted via a single run of high quality copper wiring direct to high quality RCA connectors with a completely separate ground, preserving the balanced signal from the cartridge output.

    Semi-balanced RCA phono cable

    The Debut Carbon EVO is supplied with our Connect It E: a semi-balanced, low-capacitance cable with superior shielding designed specifically to carry the delicate phono signal.

    Great purchase! Quick set up once I got the hang of VTA adjustment, thanks to several handy Youtube videos. After lotttttts of research, chose this over the Fluance RT85 because I wanted tone arm height adjustment. Replaced felt tt mat with leather and all is 😑

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek Modern and sounds Amazing
    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2021
    This is my third turntable since I started listening to vinyl in 2005. Graduated from a Crosley playing dollar store records to a Technics SL-D2 which was a workhorse but ultimately I wanted to break into higher tier audio equipment.

    Is 500$ a lot of money? For most people I’d say yes, especially since if you don’t already have them you need the amp or receiver and speakers etc. But I spent a bunch of time reading reviews and best of’s and watching suggestions on YouTube and hands down this was most appealing to me as intro hi-fi.

    It’s sleek and not cheap, everything feels and looks high class. It’s just satisfying picking up the tone arm and sliding it over the record. Of course it’s not automatic but If you’re worried about walking away you can just invest in a q-up for 40$.

    I went with the hi gloss white snd it’s so shiny and modern looking. It’s got some weight to it but isn’t a brick, platter felt substantial and firm. The belt install was easy as hell, and of course has a button to switch between 33 and 45’s, but you have to switch belts if you’re into 78s which I’m not.

    Comes with plugs for US outlets and 2 more I think are European and something else, so if you gotta make an international move you can do so and take it with you. Also I am really pleased with the Sumiko cartridge, of course I’m still breaking it in but no issues and I’m glad I didn’t have to also invest in a cart.

    I think it’s going to last a really long time, I couldn’t be happier. Took a little while for it to be delivered. It was pouring down with rain nonstop here and Insont know if they intentionally delayed the delivery because of that but I was so happy because I was beyond paranoid it would get ruined.

    Upon opening realized this was packed so well I had nothing to worry about. There’s an outer Amazon box and inside the other manufacturers box with the name of the product on it and inside custom styrofoam to house and safely ship the disassembled unit. It was easy to put all the parts together with their manual but I’d you really need help I found a couple of YouTube videos that walk you thru it step by step.

    Works great with my speakers and my receiver.

    You won’t regret it and if you do you can return or he’ll sell it on eBay they retain their value as long as they’re in good shape. Keep the box so you can ship it back to the factory in case of repairs or later sale.
