Debut Carbon EVO Turntable with Sumiko Rainier Cartridge (Black)

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 love love this. The quality and the sound is proof that mid range performance can start under $1,000. Play this thing like crazy.

This is my third turntable since I started listening to vinyl in 2005. Graduated from a Crosley playing dollar store records to a Technics SL-D2 which was a workhorse but ultimately I wanted to break into higher tier audio equipment. Is 500$ a lot of money? For most people I’d say yes, especially since if you don’t already have them you need the amp or receiver and speakers etc. But I spent a bunch of time reading reviews and best of’s and watching suggestions on YouTube and hands down this was most appealing to me as intro hi-fi. It’s sleek and not cheap, everything feels and looks high class. It’s just satisfying picking up the tone arm and sliding it over the record. Of course it’s not automatic but If you’re worried about walking away you can just invest in a q-up for 40$. I went with the hi gloss white snd it’s so shiny and modern looking. It’s got some weight to it but isn’t a brick, platter felt substantial and firm. The belt install was easy as hell, and of course has a button to switch between 33 and 45’s, but you have to switch belts if you’re into 78s which I’m not. Comes with plugs for US outlets and 2 more I think are European and something else, so if you gotta make an international move you can do so and take it with you. Also I am really pleased with the Sumiko cartridge, of course I’m still breaking it in but no issues and I’m glad I didn’t have to also invest in a cart. I think it’s going to last a really long time, I couldn’t be happier. Took a little while for it to be delivered. It was pouring down with rain nonstop here and Insont know if they intentionally delayed the delivery because of that but I was so happy because I was beyond paranoid it would get ruined. Upon opening realized this was packed so well I had nothing to worry about. There’s an outer Amazon box and inside the other manufacturers box with the name of the product on it and inside custom styrofoam to house and safely ship the disassembled unit. It was easy to put all the parts together with their manual but I’d you really need help I found a couple of YouTube videos that walk you thru it step by step. Works great with my speakers and my receiver. You won’t regret it and if you do you can return or he’ll sell it on eBay they retain their value as long as they’re in good shape. Keep the box so you can ship it back to the factory in case of repairs or later sale.

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.

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!!!

Ya lleva un mes girando y su calidad es excelente. Hay que poner atención a la hora de estabilizar el brazo pero una vez que lo consigues a disfrutar de los LPs. Te hipnotiza verla trabajar

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
