Debut Carbon Evolution Audiophile Turntable with Carbon Fiber Tonearm - White Gloss

I was originally set on purchasing the Audio Technica AT-LP120XUSB but they were out of stock and I wasn't going to wait two or three months for them to come back in stock. So I started doing research and I'm glad I did. As an audiophile who is newer to the vinyl scene, I was unaware of some very key points: a) Flashy features and gizmos does not always mean quality b) There are three types of vinyl players out there: plain old cheap bare necessities, DJ players, and players meant for audiophiles. c) The more features usually means sacrifice in sound quality. d) Plain and simple might mean the quality is in the hidden elements of the vinyl player. This player is definitely meant for audiophiles and produces a wonderful sound quality. The isolation on this unit is impressive and is a vast improvement over the Pro-Ject DC; the carbon fiber tone arm is super lightweight but strong, the anti-skate system actually works, the motor is fully isolated from the player to prevent hums and interference and is carefully designed for speed moderation; fully manual tone arm operation is great for those who like to sit and absorb the music; the phono cabling provided is impressive quality; the cartridge included produces a wonderful rich sound. There is so much to like about this, especially for a first time vinyl player for me. I'm glad I spent the extra money as the sound is impressive. I've compared it to a few other units including some higher end Technics tables and was stunned at the clarity and richness of the sound this player produces.

Recently discovered some old vinyl and decided to get a turntable. I did plenty of research, initially looking at used Tecnhics 1200s on ebay to newer “DJ rigs” but who am I kidding, I’m not doing any mixing. Just want to sit back with a beer and listen to some old school R&B, classic hip hop, 80s hits and some Coltrane and Miles. Further research led me to Pro-Ject, U-Turn and Rega. Never heard of these brands before but turns out these are the brands to look into on a budget but you want to listen to your vinyl. I’m by no means an audiophile but I know what sounds good to me and this Pro-Ject Carbon is one critical piece to the puzzle of good sound. I paired it with an old Sony receiver (pre-HDMI / 4K) and a barely used set of Energy Take 5 Classic speaker set and it sounds fantastic! Everything from classic jazz to bumpin’ beats sounds great. It was easy to put together, but I am pretty tech saavy. I also connected this to a Fosi tube pre-amp with GE tubes, which seems to bring out warmer tones and I could swear I hear instruments in the background I didn’t hear before. All around, great turntable and brings back memories listening to old tunes.

Purchased this to replace an older turntable and decided to go with something simple and high quality rather than pursuing bluetooth and built-in preamps. The turntable seems to be well made - heavy, solid and with a tonearm that is equal parts sculpture and function. Set-up is easy (the anti-skating weight being a bit finicky) and it arrived in excellent condition, and the controls couldn't be simpler, with a rocker switch for speed and manual tonearm. As to sound, it seems to do what a good turntable should, which is to convey accurately what is on the vinyl. Beautifully mastered and pressed recordings have great nuance, warmth and transparency. A few of my mass-production 80s rock records sound thin and harsh. In a word, the turntable seems accurate and more than capable of producing wonderful tone and depth. I use a basic preamp and a high end set of powered monitors poached from my studio. Again, a neutral set-up the delivers the goods honestly and without color. The Pro Ject has been a wonderful addition and I'm enjoying getting back into vinyl. If you enjoy simple, well-crafted equipment you won't be disappointed.

Love my turntable. Can from an audio-technia that served me well, but this is a whole different class of turntable.

No le quedó claro que la tornamesa no era amplificada. Pero tienen gran calidad

Este es mi primer equipo tornamesa, el color amarillo no me gusto mucho, pensé que era más pálido y brillante, pero esta funcionando muy bien, si lo recomiendo, el instructivo es muy claro y preciso, pero lo mejor es apoyarse de algún video.

Great product, quick shipping and excellent customer service. Highly recommend them!!!

El equipo es excelente, su calidad de construcción t materiales es más de aceptable, es sublime, sin embargo el adaptador de corriente no funcionaba y tuve que conseguir otro, por lo demás el producto es muy bueno, y es súper recomendable, la reproducción de vinilos es preciosa, no dudes ni un segundo en comprarlo

Llevo 1 año con el y me ha dado 0 problemas. Note que se decremento un poco la calidad de construcción comparado con mi torna anterior, el Crosley C10 (Pro-Ject Debut III) pero los componentes justifican el precio.
