"The latest version of the long-running Debut remains a winner. Recommended." What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision magazine 5-star review.
Engineering from a class above
For some time now, the Pro-Ject Debut has been a near default choice in the budget turntable market - and for good reason. Rather than adding fancy automated mechanisms, Pro-Ject has always concentrated on giving the best engineering quality possible for the money. Following on from other award-winning Pro-Ject Debut turntables, the Debut Carbon DC offers a stunning specification with sound quality to match.
Carbon fibre tone-arm
The key feature with the Debut Carbon is the addition of a carbon fibre tone-arm tube. Usually only found on much more expensive turntables, a carbon fibre tone-arm tube provides significant benefits to the sound quality. Being stiffer than steel, the tone arm is more rigid. This helps convey the music more accurately as there's also reduced arm resonance. In short, the music sounds tighter, punchier and more detailed than before.
Tweaks taken from the SE model
The revised Debut Carbon comes with a larger and more stable platter, providing a more solid bass response with added weight, while improved motor dampening using Sorbothane helps give better isolation. In terms of sound quality, isolating the motor means less background noise and a more dynamic and revealing sound.
Engineered for purity of sound
The rigid plinth with anti-vibration feet is ideal in providing a similarly taut sound quality. The motor itself is decoupled to further reduce vibration. Using a brass bearing housing and stainless steel axle, the platter hub is superbly engineered and built to close tolerances for fine sound and longevity. There's also a good quality Ortofon cartridge included, so it's ready to go straight out of the box.
Updated styling
With its gloss black plinth, the Debut Carbon looks far classier than previous Debut III models. Combined with its high quality engineering, this Pro-Ject turntable really does give the impression that it comes from the class above.
For quality vinyl replay, pure and simple, there's nothing to beat the Debut Carbon DC at this price.

Huge value for money...
Really well engineered for the price, except the clear Perspex cover and hinges. Nothing at all wrong with them, they just don’t match the high quality of the main unit... just aesthetics.
The set up manual is written by the engineer rather than the average person constructing a boxed item! But if you’ve done similar in the past, it will come back to you!
As a mid range unit, and bought as an introduction to vinyl for my daughter. Hopefully it will be a legacy or a step onto the next level.

Vinyl comes to life
Early Christmas present as I plan to restart my vinyl collection all over again. Hooked it up with project phono box mm and my B&W Zeppelin speaker. Sound is tremendous, literally hearing details I have never noticed before on CD or in my youth of listening to vinyl on old turntables. Easy set up, fantastic price and good delivery from Richer Sounds.

Absolute quality
For the money the project debut carbon is the best on the market. Quality sound and looks great with carbon tone arm. I’ve added my onkyo amplifier with a built in preamp, and Dali pico speakers.. the three sound great together!

Very good for the money.
Originally bought an Audio Technica AT120 but the sound was never very good. Possibly a faulty unit. However, got in touch with Cheltenham store and was asked to bring it in for a check. On listening to it, Jason agreed that the sound was not good. After some looking around I decided to add some more cash and go for the Project. Have to say the difference is amazing! Running through a Project phono box the treble is much better and the overall sound is improved no end. Have to add that the service from Cheltenham store was and is excellent.

Best budget to mid range deck
Bought this as an upgrade to an ageing project debut 2 and did a load of research and tests beforehand.
IMO you can’t buy a better new turntable for this kind of money.
Sounds great, better quality cartridge than entry level stuff, looks the biz as well.
Easy to setup out of the box and has revealed details in LP’s which were lost in the mix before.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this deck.
