![]() And when I switched the Rega's cartridge to the Goldring E3, I again preferred the Pro-Ject, which demonstrates how tightly integrated the EVO's cartridge/turntable combination is. The Pro-Ject with its Sumiko Rainier still sounded better, however. The flat belt is for 33 & 45rpm discs and is installed on the top. Debut III Phono SB ships with 2 different belts. Pro-Ject calls this turntable the Debut Carbon EVO because its an evolutionary step forward from the beloved original Debut Carbon.For instance, the heavy steel platter now has a resonance-damping internal TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) ring inside for smoother, quieter operation. Whether you own the new Debut Carbon EVO, Debut Carbon DC, Esprit, RecordMaster, or even the older Debut III (among others), your analog system stands to benefit from the Debut Alu Sub-Platter. I tried my reference Rega Planar 3 with the Ortofon 2M Blue and while it offered a similarly forward balance it was more tempered, not steely like the Fluance could be. The evolution of the Debut Carbon turntable. Pro-Ject is one of the go-to names when people talk about great-sounding yet affordable turntables, and the Debut Carbon (the predecessor to this new model), was perhaps the. The Pro-Ject again showed better balance and a finely honed delineation between Cave's baritone and the deep bassline. The OM10 cartridge in the less-expensive Fluance RT82 is a well balanced cartridge, but the step up to the 2M Blue in the RT85 will be too much for already-bright systems. Unless you have a mellow sounding system, the Fluance RT85 seems like one upgrade too far. I heard the Fluance's forwardness again on Nick Cave's Red Right Hand, and here the bass also threatened to become boomy. Spaces is not exactly an edge-of-your-seat kind of recording, so the Pro-Ject's more relaxed approach worked better here. The Fluance made the recording sound more detailed but it was also two dimensional - it seemed to exist only on the plane between the speakers. The Pro-Ject enhanced the record's ambient qualities, making the room seem like it extended deep into the space in front of me. By the same token the Fluance can sound too forward with some tracks, while the Pro-Ject offers more of a sense of space, which is especially great for big room sounds like Nils Frahm's Spaces.
