Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable, A Review
A few weeks ago I got the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable to replace the U-Turn Audio Orbit I sent back. In spite of lacking some of the customization flexibility on the Orbit, the specs and pricing made them direct competition. While there were some things I wasn’t pleased about with the Orbit, it’s still a formidable turntable and a fairly high bar to clear for any competitor to earn my business. I’ve listened to Debut Carbon for about 3 weeks now, below is a short review.
Review disclaimer: I want to make this super clear: I do not receive compensation of any kind for writing these reviews (other than these reviews being part of Medium’s paywall). There are no kick-backs or discounts, etc. All gear I review is bought from amazon or other e-commerce sites by me with my money. All links I provide in my reviews are referrer-program-free and most permalinks which can be found via google search. I do these reviews because I love writing and I love sharing my thoughts on gear I buy which hopefully are useful to others.
Audition stack: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, Pro-Ject-provided RCA cable, Emotiva TA-100 Integrated Amp, Monoprice OFC hi-fi speaker cable spool, Monoprice gold-plated banana plugs, KEF Q150 bookshelf speakers, Focal Elegia headphones.
Unboxing: compared to the Orbit, unboxing of the Debut is a bit more intricate…
