Audiophile Turntable: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO with Carbon Fiber Tonearm

The Debut Carbon EVO: Elevating the Turntable Experience

Pro-Ject's design philosophy of high performance, clean aesthetics, and superb value has culminated in the new Debut Carbon EVO - a turntable that represents the pinnacle of the brand's engineering prowess.

At the heart of the Debut Carbon EVO is a redesigned motor suspension system that consistently reduces vibrations more effectively than its predecessor. This improved isolation is further enhanced by the new height-adjustable, TPE-damped aluminum feet, ensuring a perfectly leveled and stable platform for optimal vinyl playback.

The massive, 12-inch steel platter features a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) damping ring on the inside, resulting in an even quieter and more noiseless operation with reduced wow and flutter. The electronic speed changer allows for effortless switching between 33 and 45 RPM (with 78 RPM also supported), providing the user complete control over the playback speed.

Elevating the listening experience, the Debut Carbon EVO comes factory-mounted and aligned with Sumiko's renowned Rainier phono cartridge. This cartridge features a replaceable stylus, allowing for easy upgrades to the Sumiko Olympia or Moonstone models as the user's preferences evolve.

The turntable's 8.6-inch one-piece carbon fiber tonearm delivers exceptional sound quality and a convincing soundstage, thanks to its super-stiff yet lightweight construction. The signal from the Rainier cartridge is transmitted via high-quality copper wiring and gold-plated RCA connectors, preserving the balanced and pristine output.

To further ensure optimal performance, the Debut Carbon EVO is supplied with Pro-Ject's Connect It E - a semi-balanced, low-capacitance phono cable featuring superior shielding, designed specifically to carry the delicate phono signal from the turntable to the amplifier.

The comprehensive package includes an adjustable acrylic dust cover, a felt record mat, an adapter for 7-inch singles, and a multi-voltage power supply, catering to the needs of discerning vinyl enthusiasts.
