![]() ![]() As always, I appreciate your ongoing support! Many thanks to Simon and Molly at Henley Audio for making this review possible, their patience and for all of the help and advice over the phone.Īnd thank you to all of my readers. However, my son is looking for his first decent turntable and the Evo just made the shortlist. ![]() I would happily go out tomorrow and buy an Evo if I was in the market for another turntable, which unfortunately I am not. Sure there are competitors out there at this price, however at this point I have not had them here with me and so cannot comment on any other deck. Sound characteristics that engage the listener and induce prolonged listening sessions. Solid build with a stunning and elegant finish. In fact there is a lot going on here that make the Debut Carbon Evo a compelling investment. The Evo performs this record in a way that sounds natural and organic and doesn’t colour the piece in any discernible way.Īt this price tag I can’t find anything about this deck to find fault with or complain about. Gustav Mahler is possibly one of my favourite classical composers and Symphony No.5 gets played the most at The Audiophile Cafe “HQ”. Phil Colins “In The Air Tonight” hits like a freight train in all the right ways and Peter Gabriel’s “So” is bouncy and full bodied. Live recordings sound great and don’t get lost in the busier parts of those records. I’m pretty OCD about how my system delivers Jean Michel Jarre’s unique sound and the Evo exceeded expectations. My Jean Michel Jarre records were a particular delight to listen to. With a hefty low end, neutral midrange and shimmering high frequencies with snappiness and detail, it’s an exciting listening experience.Įvery genre I played performed flawlessly and the Evo brought every note, every symbol crash, fret sweeps, background sounds on quieter parts of classical pieces and punchier percussion sections to life in a way that put a grin on my face! The Evo is vibrant, full bodied and dynamic in its presentation. The lid is solid and uses the standard Pro-Ject mounting brackets. When this is used the 45rpm position is now used for 78rpm. Note: Pro-Ject include a 78rpm belt in the box. So no more lifting off the platter and moving the belt for speed changes. Pro-Ject have now included a dual speed selector rocker switch fitted to the underside of the plinth. ![]() The Carbon Fibre tone arm is audibly dead and adds an exquisite style to the overall aesthetic. The Semi-balanced RCA and ground cable is very well made and against other cables I tried, carries it’s weight effortlessly. The 3 feet are a new improved metal construction height adjustable design ensuring a level deck. Out of the box we find a heavy 1.7kg steel platter with an integral TPE dampening ring that equates to quieter moving parts and additional weight. With so much choice in colour, Pro-Ject are spoiling us. If you want a turntable that’s going to stand out against the rest of your system then you can’t go wrong. Henley Audio originally sent me the yellow satin Evo. In contrast to the still available wood grain and high gloss finishes, The Evo is also available in a mix of satin colourways. Pro-Ject offer plenty of upgrades to the Debut Carbon Evo, however I think you’ll find you’ll be extremely satisfied with this deck straight out of the box. It’s great to see Pro-Ject have been able to improve on an already very good platform, namely the Debut Carbon DC. True to other Pro-Ject products I’ve either owned or reviewed, the build quality here is yet again superb. ![]() Jean Michel Jarre – The Concerts In China.ġx Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre installed.ġ5V / 0 – 0.8 mA DC (set at 0.5 mA), universal power supplyĤ15 x 118 x 320 mm, dust cover open 415 x 365 x 405mm Jean Michel Jarre – Les Chants Magnetiques.
