Interesting review. I run an X1. Do you know if the subplatter would be a worthwhile upgrade for that?

Cheers. Sounds like I can live without and I've already swapped out the stock cart for a Goldring. Not keen on the 2M sound. Bit CD like for me (I've heard the red, silver, blue and pick it).does add significant weight to the overall unit - which in itself provides an advantage as far as resonance is concerned.
I recommend the X1. I had the old carbon and found the X1 to be an upgrade in every area. Very much worth the extra pennies.Thanks for the review, it made for interesting reading.
I recently got back into vinyl and picked up a used Pro-ject Debut Carbon (the Evo’s predecessor); the previous owner had already purchased the acrylic platter and uograded the cartridge. In hindsight, I got a bit of a bargain and have enjoyed it a lot. I recently changed the standard power adapter for the Power-IT one and am happy with the change. I may well buy the sub-platter in the future (am surprised it is not standard on the forthcoming Debut PRO turntable tbh).
I do keep looking at the Evo and wonder whether I should make the switch however am not convinced right now. I’ll keep an eye out for the Debut PRO review before making my next move.
Yeah, the X1 has caught my attention on more than one occasion. what cartridge are you using out of interest?I recommend the X1. I had the old carbon and found the X1 to be an upgrade in every area. Very much worth the extra pennies.
Goldring 2200. The last cart I had on my Carbon was a Nagoaka MP110. Worked well.Yeah, the X1 has caught my attention on more than one occasion. what cartridge are you using out of interest?
Could be worse you could have thisI'm guessing that all of this will have little-to-no impact on the abilities of a 90's Akai turntable?
I can beat that - in 1979, I had one of these for Christmas, along the 45 of Another Brick in the Wall (part 2)
Interesting. Quite fancy an MC. Never had one.Note to add: the X series tables have adjustable VTA so can accept a much wider range of cartridges.
There is the VTA-IT shim now for the Debut series to give you +1.5mm adjustment.
It ships with a Pick-IT S2 but Goldring and Ortofon Quintet really complement the X1. I have stated on other forums that the Quintet Bronze is a perfect cartridge for it.
Stay…..who needs money….vinyl…..vinyl….I’m taking a step away from this thread before my head rules my wallet…
You can go a very long way with MM/MI. Plus, there's no need for the new/improved phono stage and SUT you may need, thereby saving on outlay. Although I have a MC which works with my existing kit, I recently took the decision to to stick with MM/MI.Interesting. Quite fancy an MC. Never had one.
