In this way, you can decide which – if any – mods are for you and, if you like more than one, how to prioritise our purchases. Also, I could experience how the part or accessory integrated into the turntable and if that new entry impacted on the ease of use of the EVO or it operation in some way. In this way, I hoped to hear and thus convey how the sound was being transformed, tweaked and thoroughly messed about by each individual mod. Then I brought a second product in, tested that, then removed it to the turntable’s original status and so on. To give you a better idea of what each and every it accessory actually does to the sound, I drafted each item in and fitted that to the turntable on its own, sound tested it on its own and then removed it to bring the turntable back to its default, original status. For giving those with reduced budgets or those that love their hifi components and just want to tweak the same, the opportunity to improve the sound quality of their hifi. So I raise my hat to Pro-Ject for allowing that to happen. Not keeping hold of your old product and tweaking the same. Most hi-fi companies would rather that you buy the newest and latest flavours of hifi product currently hitting the market.
#Project debut carbon evo review upgrade#
There are not too many manufacturers out there that allow uses to upgrade their principle hi-fi components. And I must applaud Pro-Ject for producing these upgrade parts. Most of them are sourced from Pro-Ject but there’s one upgrade from another company too. Eight products that, in price terms, range from less than £20 to around £140. I have eight products here that can be applied in and around the Pro-Ject EVO to hopefully improve its sonic abilities. I hope to try to answer these questions in this review. Well, I’m here to tell you that you can do that very thing.īut the question is this, should you? The parts might exist, sure but really, should you use them? Should you upgrade your Pro-Ject EVO? Is it worth the bother? The effort? If so, which parts and accessories should you bring in? Of the eight parts and accessories I have here, should you buy them all and fit them all or would it be ok just to buy half of them or even just the one? And what does each part and accessory actually do to the turntable and the sound? Will it change how it looks? How it feels? Will it affect how you use the EVO itself? Improving the sound quality of your turntable for not a great deal of money would be a great idea. Hopefully a lot less than £1,000 at any rate. That would be the ideal situation because you wouldn’t have to save too much cash to buy in an enhanced part. That is, buying a new and improved turntable part or accessory for an additional sum of money and applying that part or accessory to the EVO with the hope of enhancing the turntable’s performance.
One useful method of solving both of these problems would be to upgrade the basic EVO turntable itself. Spending around £1,000, for example, on the next level of turntable technologies.īut what if you don’t have that sort of money? What if you just don’t have £1,000 to throw around on a new turntable? What should you do then? On the other hand, what if you happen to love the sound of your EVO? You don’t want to ditch the turntable. What if you do actually buy it? And what if you have the EVO for a while and eventually want to go further in sonic terms? Of course, like many hi-fi enthusiasts out there, you can save up for a turntable upgrade. Right now, its the best turntable you can buy up to £500. I was impressed with the performance of the design and gave it an award-winning rating. I recently reviewed the Pro-Ject belt-driven turntable, the EVO which can be yours for around £450. Have a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO turntable and want to enhance its sonic abilities? Paul Rigby reviews a range of accessories for the turntable that may do just that
