The highly regarded carbon-fiber tonearm with sapphire bearings is identical on both units. That damping ring makes the platter much heavier, so there's less chance it will vibrate in response to sound from the speakers. The DC uses a stamped-steel platter with no damping, whereas the Evo's platter is thicker stamped steel with a large TPE damping ring around the inner perimeter. While the inner platter and platter bearing have not changed, the outer platter represents another significant upgrade. and the better it will look! Platter-tudes & High-Caliber Cartridges The less there is to interfere with the mechanics and aesthetics, the better it will perform and isolate the sound. A turntable should never have more than it needs - this is not the category where you want more bells and whistles or "flair" of any kind, in function, form, and design. And that's one of Pro-Ject's design philosophies - keep it simple. Plus, the placement of the rocker switch streamlines the design of the turntable in general. In addition, this provides a more stable signal to the motor, so its speed is more consistent over time. The Evo provides electronic speed control that changes speed with the flip of a rocker switch on the bottom of the plinth. With the DC, you had to remove the platter and move the belt to change from 33 1/3 to 45 RPM. The Evo offers a big improvement in the speed control as well. In addition, the shield isolates the motor from stray electromagnetic energy that might interfere with its smooth operation. The DC suspends its motor on special rubber bands-which works well to isolate the motor from vibrations-while the Evo motor is mounted in a steel shield mounted to the plinth (the base of the turntable) using TPE isolation washers, which prevents any vibrations from being transmitted from the motor through the plinth to the cartridge. The motor is the same in both models, but the way it's mounted is completely different. Even better, the Evo feet are height-adjustable, making it a simple matter to level the turntable. The use of three feet (instead of four) also makes it easier to ensure a level positioning on near any kind of surface. Pro-Ject uses this material in its more expensive models, so it's great to see it here. Starting at the bottom, the DC has perfectly serviceable vibration-resistant feet, but the Evo greatly improves on them with new TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)-damped aluminum feet that are wider and more stable.

Let's take a look at some of the most important elements side by side: for the US, Pro-Ject included a factory-mounted Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge (a $150 value). Like the original Debut Carbon, the EVO includes a one-piece carbon-fiber tonearm, the same premium gold-plated RCA jacks, and a hinged adjustable dust cover. Yes, that's NINE! The new turntable also includes a suspension system borrowed from the higher-end X1 and a hefty aluminum platter, weighing in at about 3.7-pounds. The Evo comes in 9 color and finish options. and has electronic speed selection via a simple rocker switch on the bottom (no more removing the platter!). So, what's the difference between the Debut Carbon Evo and its predecessor? At a glance, here's what we found: The EVO includes more stable, height adjustable and damped aluminium feet (also note that Pro-Ject uses 3 feet, not 4 to make leveling a heck of a lot simpler).

And, among the most popular turntables are those from Pro-Ject, who recently released the Debut Carbon Evo (short for Evolution) as an update to their widely lauded Debut Carbon DC. Pro-Ject essentially took their most popular design and improved every aspect of it.
So it's no surprise that turntable design and the category in general is at the top of its game. Debut Carbon DC TurntableĢ020 marks the first year that vinyl sales have surpassed CDs since the 1980s (according to CNET).
