I just picked up the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB, pretty much the same but with a speed change button, great TT ,
If you just play LP's probably not. I had the old one for several years and was very happy. Lifting the platter to change the speed did get tiresome, mind. Takes a cart change well too. I had a Nag MP110 on it at the end, and it sounded great.Is this new Evo version worth the £100 plus price premium over the non Evo? It's possible to pick up the non Evo for under £300 now & it would be great to get a view on whether it's worth spending quite a bit more for the Evo. Thanks for any thoughts.
I'd change the cart.Thank you Ed Selly
My father passed recently and i inherited some vintage vinyl. This review helped me decide on the Project debut carbon evo. I hadn't heard vinyl since i was a kid on my dad's little old player (cough, cough, 40yrs ago).
Since i turned on this project deck, I had a cheshire cat grin throughout. WOW!
Only criticism i would make is, it did seem a tad soft, i could almost hear it was on a felt mat. What is your experience with the other mats Project sell; the cork or cork & rubber, or even leather.
Hello, What options are there? I know about the Blue cartridge, Can i use something else?I'd change the cart.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the 2M Red (not a fan at all) and 2M Blue (a good cart, but too analytical and CD like for me), having used both on a Project deck.Hello, What options are there? I know about the Blue cartridge, Can i use something else?
