Pro-Ject - Debut Carbon DC (Black)

Product Information

Carbon Tube Tonearm: This is where this unit got its name. As we mentioned above, this construction has already been made by other units, but not in the price range that Pro-Ject offers. This tonearm provides extra stiffness, efficiently decreasing resonance for higher sound quality. It also comes with various add-ons such as different cables and other accessories. It also comes with an audio conversion and recording feature that you won’t find in the other record players we’ve mentioned. It would have been nice, however, if the unit was equipped with more user-friendly features given the price that it’s being sold in. In this way, even the more novice users will be able to enjoy the excellent sound quality that this unit provides. However, it’s still important to note that this unit is still higher in price compared to other average, record players out there. In the end, it will depend on your priorities. If you want to an upgrade from your usual fare, and you’re willing to invest a little bit of money and effort, then we definitely recommend Pro-Ject’s Debut Carbon DC Turntable.

What’s more, is that the price is a bit lower. The only problem is that Denon’s piece has limited rotation speeds.

For those looking for an even more affordable, yet still high-quality piece, you can look at Fluance’s RT81 Vinyl Turntable.

Finally, there’s the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Turntable. We love that this product offers three-speed options, and the lowest price of al the turntables we have featured here. Now that we know all about the unit, how does it measure up compared to other similar models out there? Is it better? Let’s find out. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 25th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) This unit is for music lovers who know their way around turntables already. Absolute beginners might find this piece a bit complicated to set-up and use, especially with the absence of automatic features. Better Platter: Another notable feature is its wider, heavier platter that allows your records to rotate a little bit more smoothly.Finally, if you’re looking for a unit that provides the best value for money, then we recommend the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Turntable. It has a lot of features and accessories, combined with a brand renowned for its quality audio appliances.
