I did a quick RPM check with a free app on my phone, and it confirmed that the DC carbon EVO did, in fact, track to within. My Monoprice doesn’t have any fancy speed circuitry, and I have never noticed a difference in speed. I don’t know if this is clever marketing or a real need. Do you sense a trend here? Lastly, the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO has an onboard speed control circuit that continually monitors and controls the motor speed to ensure smooth operation. These promise to reduce unwanted vibration from the spinning motor.

Also upgraded are a new motor suspension and dampening system. Pro-Ject has also upgraded the motor on the Debut Carbon EVO. So, the extra money spent is solely on aesthetics. I like the contrast of the translucent platter against my gloss black plinth. All the properties associated with acrylic (added mass and inertia) are the same as the steel. Let me be clear here there is no performance gained from acrylic. You can also (as I did) opt for the Acrylic-It platter. Plus, once the heavy platter gets up to speed, inertia takes over and helps it spin without much effort. Steel is heavy, so add the TPE, and you are taking one extra step to reduce vibrations. Pro-Ject makes their platter out of steel, damped with TPE (rubber). I think it’s evident that Pro-Ject has taken painstaking steps to try and eliminate vibration from every element of the EVO. The upgraded motor suspension and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) damped, mass-loaded 1.7kg steel platter gives the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO a smooth spin. So, I would have liked to try the Sumiko to expand my experience with different carts with the EVO. But I ended up preferring the stock AT-VMN95E, and I returned it. I previously purchased the 2M Red and installed it on a Monolith turntable.

I wish that Pro-Ject would give you some choice on a cartridge. In the USA, it will arrive with the Sumiko Ranier elliptical MM installed. In Canada, it comes with the Ortofon 2M Red elliptical MM.

The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO comes with different cartridges depending on your location.
#Debut carbon evo setup manual#
The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO is a manual turntable with a smooth manual cueing mechanism and drops the needle gently. The lack of mass associated with carbon fiber and the upgraded gimbal allows the stylus to track easily across the record’s surface. The tonearm on the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO is carbon fiber. I think the gloss finish on this one is particularly nice though! Tonearm and Cartridge MDF is not anything mythical by any means almost all plinths are made from MDF and then painted with different finishes.
