Thankfully, this should be easy enough to spot and fix before you move the tonearm into position. The three-way switch is hidden under the plinth with no external speed markings. If you do not use the turntable on a regular basis, you may find the wrong speed being selected.I found that making the loop smaller helped to secure it. The loop at the end of the line slides over the post and is supposed to get caught in the middle notch. I am not a fan of the anti-skating weight design. The small weight attaches to a notched post on the tonearm by means of a short length of fishing line looped over a wire support.Some Things You Might Not Like About the Debut Carbon EVO Turntable Getting ready to spin some vinyl on the Pro-Ject Carbon Evo turntable. The design provides good performance and is compatible with many of the Debut family components, making upgrades easy without needing to replace your entire turntable. The Carbon EVO is the result decades of development of the Debut turntable line, with the company incorporating changes that improve both performance (anti-resonant platter lining) and user experience (speed switch). Why Should You Care About the Debut Carbon EVO Turntable? Unboxing and assembling the Carbon EVO took about 15 minutes. While you may be thinking that someone who has reviewed audio gear for more than two decades would be faster than most, it was my 15-year-old son that did the unboxing and assembly.The plinth is available is nine different finish options, including Satin Walnut and a variety of colors in both satin and gloss finishes. The Debut Carbon EVO is an attractive turntable with clean, modern lines.The signal-to-noise ratio is specified as 68 dB. Pro-Ject specifies the wow and flutter at +/- 0.19 percent and speed drift +/- 0.6 percent, both at 33 rpm. The EVO weighs in at 13.2 pounds and measures 16.3 inches wide by 4.5 inches high and 12.6 inches deep.The change to and from 78 requires the belt to be changed. The change between 33 and 45 is easily made with a three-position switch mounted on the underside of the plinth. The Carbon EVO can accommodate playback at 33, 45, or 78 rpm. Two belts come with the turntable: one for 33 or 45 and another for 78.A new mounting system for the motor improves decoupling to minimize transmission of vibrations. The platter is mounted on a solid MDF plinth, which itself rests on height adjustable feet which trickled down from Pro-Ject’s more expensive X1 turntable.Pro-Ject uses its established steel platter, but upgrade it with an anti-resonant thermoplastic elastomer. The weight of the steel provides stability but a steel platter itself is subject to unwanted resonances, which are now reduced with the new lining.The Debut Carbon EVO, like all Pro-Ject turntables, can be configured for balanced operation by installing a moving coil cartridge and balanced cable. The cartridge has an output voltage of 5mV and recommended load impedance of 47kohms. The 8.6-inch carbon fiber tonearm has Sumiko’s Rainer moving magnet phono cartridge mounted to it. With Pro-Ject’s decades of turntable experience, you don’t need to worry about whether the tonearm and cartridge selection will work well together.
