Pro-Ject Debut Carbon

The best-buy turntable classic with carbon tonearm!

The first Debut turntable, introduced in the late 1990s, was a revolution for the hi-fi industry. For the first time after the arrival of Compact Disc and the assumed demise of vinyl records, an analogue product re-emerged in the “mass market” – something all music lovers could afford.

The new DEBUT Carbon has been designed to set new standards in this category for the coming decade – perfectly timed as analogue today is again a respected source, while the demand for good turntables is growing again!

The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of a CARBON TUBE for the tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance. This material normally is extensively used in high-end tonearms, but – because of cost reasons – was never used in products at lower price levels.Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to realize even smoother rotation and new design in motor suspension, the overall sound quality is greatly improved.

The DEBUT CARBON is offered in high-gloss black or shiny red, green, blue, yellow, silver or white as no-added-cost option.

  • Nice find OP and the Free Shipping seals the deal nicely! Great entry-level yet proper high-quality Turntables.

  • Good price, turntable is actually $529RRP as well now. This may be old stock, which is exactly the same as the new stock, except the new one comes with a different counterweight to accommodate the use of 2m series cartridges. Before if you wanted to upgrade from the OM to the 2M series cartridges, you had to buy a different counterweight, so might be worth checking.

    • We all know that not many retailers sell at RRP.

    +1 for Addicted to Audio. I've bought from them in the past and have had no issues with them. Recommended.

  • If you do not have a good phono pre-amp in your hi-fi setup, then consider the following instead. Bonus simultaneous USB 1.1 digital output.

    Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Phono USB $539 (down from a claimed $679).

    Please do not buy a turntable if you have a Sony Muteki system. Its massive 1200W audio output will surely make the stylus jump the track.

    Love fashion - what's superseded, dead and dusted can be resurrected at whim. I'm holding on to my CRT.

    • Hipsters dove back into polaroid/instant camera market for visual hipstery. I'm sorry, you could discard that CRT now.
