I just upgraded to the Project Debut Carbon EVO, upgraded to a 2m blue cartridge, & got an acrylic platter. It sounds great!
What was your previous cartridge? Did you have to adjust your tonearm in any way?
I've Just recently bought a Debut carbon dc, Acrylit platter and 2m blue stylus, yet to be installed but the 2m red is doing fine for now I had forgotten how warm and enveloping vinyl can be so glad I kept all my albums from the 80s thank you Pro-ject
I used to have some problems with a slight hum when playing records. I solved it with the acrylic platter and by attaching a wire from the spindle base to the ground screw. (I also posted this solution on Flickr a few years ago.)
Thank you herr Heinz for the very nice and informative video.. also, thank you for excellent customer service.. I had bought a Pro-Ject Classic SB Superpack (used - not new) from Amazon few years ago and it came missing several pieces such as the base feet... When I conacted herr Heinz about this he quickly sent me replacement units FOR FREE which I consider as truly great customer service... Best wishes to you...
I've made several of these upgrades and plan on doing all of the ones you recommend as time goes by. So far I've done the acrylic platter, sub platter with upgraded belt and changed the Sumiko entry level stylus that came with the table with a Moonstone. The upgrades I've made so far have made a huge difference. An upgraded power supply cord arrives in a few days. The nice thing about the Sumiko Oyster series is the ability change the stylus by simply pulling it out and sliding in the replacement. Next will be the upgraded RCA cable and power box S-2. And of course vibration control.
i upgraded my Evo with the Acryl-it , its a huge upgrade , better bass ( deeper and more control ), better insight in the mid and hights , less schrill and the static sounds are gone ! really enjoy this upgrade
Nice, I am intrigued by the aluminium sub platter.
Great video! Short, simple, informative.
Thanks a lot!
It’s nice that they offer choices on the front end
Great video!👍👍👍 Congratulations Mr Heinz Lichtenegger!👏👏👏
You suggested the Acryl It and Clamp It upgrade and that's made a massive difference with my Debut Carbon. So much tighter and the bass is more accurate. I love how my Carbon, even though I've had it for a year and a half, continues to grow with me. Outstanding :D
That's awesome! We are glad you like it!
I recently bought an essential III and I love it, it sounds so wonderful and I'm happy that I know my records are safe on it!
Great choice! Have fun with it!
I have just ordered a debut carbon evo as an upgrade to my AT LP120X and I can’t wait, I plan on doing the aluminium and acrylic upgrade and upgrading to the blue cart
I love my Pro-Ject Carbon Debut turntable. I got the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge and the acrylic platter. I also got the Schiit Mani phono preamp
Many thanks for an informative video. I am in the process of purchasing a turntable at the moment and your brand is on my shortlist. The yellow USM looks great!
Grüsse aus der Schweiz
So this is the man responsible for this all! xD Thank you, Mr Lichtenegger!
Thank you very much for this video, it is an eye opener and give me something to think about
I’ve just upgraded from a vte to a debut carbon evo and also ordered two upgrades acrylic platter and 2m blue since watching this cheers Paul
These are great upgrades! Have fun with it!
I bought the Fluance and got an acrylic platter and a two m blue cartridge and an Optically speed controlled vibration isolated motor...For the same price as the carbon evoo.. I agree that the Pro Ject is a great product I just thought that the cartridge is more important.
Excellent suggestions!
Mr. Lichtenegger, while I never met you (always wanted to), I have seen lots of interviews and tours, etc. over the years (Most from Michael Fremer). I have to say in my opinion, you are a rock star! You and your wife are simply lovely people! Your passion is strongly felt and shared.
It is nothing short of amazing, what you do! You offer ever-improved product at great value creating something for everyone. I love your statement you have repeated elsewhere about how you want to get luxury audio into as many people's hands as possible because everyone deserves it. That is amazing and very kind-hearted.
I personally do not own any Pro-Ject products currently, but I am considering the DAC DS2 Ultra.
I run vintage turntables, but if I ever have a need for a new turntable Pro-Ject will be first on my list!
I also like how you treat your employees well and I hope everyone is doing ok with all this pandemic running around.
Stay safe!
I own rpm 1 I've upgraded the e connect it and acrylic platter, and also ground it, found that the ground it was least effective in terms of sound quality but good for leveling I'f needed.
For sure, the Ground it doesn't change the audio signal itself, but provides a proper standing & prevents the transmission of vibrations. If your furniture is already very stable & not vibration sensitive you now have the perfect platform with the Ground it, as no vibrations will reach your turntable & you can perfectly adjust the height.
Great video! Thanks
i love this truntable so mush.. and thank you for that ....
I have a 2Xperience Acryl, and I absolutely love it. Will there be an Acrylic platter available for it at some point like the one on the 2Xperience Beatles White album model? I think the acrylic platter would look fantastic on the 2Xperience Acryl.
I enjoying ps 01. I am very happy with it.^^
The BMW style of selling every upgrade separately. Still, lovely video, even the third time through! Danke 😊
That's how the business is done. You can easily double the price of your turntable just by buying accesories.
In this case I actually prefer it this way. While it is nice sometimes to just know the final cost up front and pay all at once, I appreciate the ability to get into the hobby at a low entry cost and be able to upgrade small things over time without needing a whole new table should I get more into it.
@@iburley_ Disagree. Rega for example, has many "upgrade" paths for a P3. Platter, subplatter, external power supply. By the time you pay for all this, you could afford a P6 which has a significantly better deck which is a massive reason why its a lot better. Just save up for the bigger upgrade instead of putting lipstick on a pig.
P3 w/o cart - $1125. Neo power supply - $445, platter $365, metal subplatter - $250. Total $2185
Rega P6 w/o cart - everything mentioned above and a far far superior deck. Total $1875
@@mikechivy If we all had your money we could afford to buy the best immediately from the beginning. The OP was explaining that sometimes us poor folk have to take it a step at a time. Good for you, wish we all had your money.
I have a satin black Debut Carbon Evo on the way. I’m so excited!
Hope you enjoy it, man! I have the debut carbon DC, and I love it.
I have the old version project turntable (made in 1995 /1996. I have difficulty removing the sub platter. Is it permanently fixed and cannot remove
Is there a better design for the anti-skate weight? It does not want to stay on the post but rather fall off.
Hi, I have and "old" pro-ject Xpression II , is the acryl it platter suitable for that turntable?
It's a pity you discontinued Speed Carbon boxes for better speed control and quick 33/45 rpm switch. Anyway I love my Debut Carbon.
Upgraded to an acrylic platter and a Sumiko Amethyst cartridge. The cartridge cost as much as the turntable. The difference is sound was immediately noticeable. I feel the improvement is well worth the investment.
Hi, is the aluminium sub-platter compatible with the EAT B-Sharpe turntable? looking to upgrade the b-sharpe subplatter
I have a Pro Ject RPM 6.1 SB . The cartridge is a Goldring Elite MC . My phone stage is a Phono box DS . I use the record clamp that came with the turntable, but find that with some LPS from the 1970s and 80s that they can be presed on a lightweight vinyl. This can lead to the disc being dished or warped. When the clamp is used, it will flatten it when playing one side, but the other will have a gap between the disc and the plater . Is there anything you can recommend to help eliminate this issue. Kind regards.
Hi, I'm a happy owner of a Pro-ject 2.9 classic turntable, some of these tweaks can be applied to it?.
Thanks
Can anyone let me know which Alu subplatter would fit for my end of production Pro-ject 1Xpression Carbon x DC ? I noticed there are 3 serial numbers, 1 for Debut, 1 for the Classic and 1 for X1/X2. Originally I thought I might need the one for X1/X2 but now I'm not so sure.
Hi, i have the Debut Recordmaster 11. Specs say that my platter is 1.3 kg in the Netherlands, but it is 1.550 kg. Quite some difference. Now i want to buy the Acryl-it. The weight varies in the folders between 960 and 1.3 kg. How is this possible? And how heavy is it, as i do not want to lose to much weight. Wow and flutter is now an incredible good 0,04 to 0,06%.
Hello, I'm making a pro debut with aluminum and acrylic. I'm wondering if I'll hear a big difference if I change from the original insert to the brown one, and the question is why does the disc stop when I use an anti-static brush to clean the disc? who was there before?
Hi, does upgraded aluminum subplatter fit music hall 7.3?
Thank you for giving us these options. I just bought a Project RPM 1 Carbon... glossy Red... looks good, sounds good... decided to get the 2M Blue stylus, and a few mods... I sourced everything on Amazon UK, but I cannot find Pro-Ject Cork-It :o(
Hello, I AM planning to get the same turntable. What is the RCA cable that comes with this model?. Is the one they show in the video?
@@jjmark4107 they say it's good... I thought so too...but I replaced it with a TT cable from Atlas which gave me quite a bit more bass
@@pandoraefretum I found that the wire connect the stylus is very thin and When I put my hands close to the wire, it create noise. Is it possible to replace the wire? So I can reduce the noise.
@@jjmark4107 I think so - original should be fine for grounding... if not try your own... important that it is screwed in securely and tightly both ends to avoid hum... wire needs to connect TT to pre-amp or amp to fix ground hum
Don't buy from amazon
i still love my RPM 5 Carbon!
The cork-it mat was not good for me it constantly stuck to my records when removing from the platter. Also it left tiny pieces of cork on the surface of the record. Went beck to the felt mat
I set it up but the tonearm doesn't reach the record. I adjust the guide and it fixes it temporarily but always resets. what do I do?
Awesome!
Do you have to adjust the arm when removing the stock metal platter with the acrylic platter since the acrylic is a little thicker?
Not strictly necessary. Debut turntables are designed to play well with slight variances in platter height in mind (so to cover different sizes of record mats that you could get). If you wanna take it super serious, we now have the VTA it for anyone interested in changing VTA.
Does Pro-ject make an acrylic platter for model 6sperpex? According to my dealer it would not be an upgrade.
I have a problem with Phono S3B, when switching between 50-150-300-400 pF the left channel is disappearing. Every time I have to switch some more times to finally have both channels balance. Any ideas what to do about it?
Dude is feeling himself with that popped collar.
I have the T1 with BT. I see where the ground connects to the amp, but when I connect it to the tt I get a hum. What upgrade carts are available for the T1 and is there a tutorial on how to replace it?
If you use the internal phono preamp you don't need the ground connection. If you got any other technical questions please use our contact form here www.project-audio.com/en/contact - you can easily upgrade your needle inside the Ortofon OM series. We will also do a separate video on how to replace needles & change cartridges.
Does the "high power it" suit the debut carbon with ac motor (2012 edition)? And with all due respect, prices in Europe are a little bit high now compared to the past. Thanks!
The High Power it only suits turntables with 15V DC input.
Hello, I've just bought a new debut 3 dc player, but when its engine starts, there is the noise "khhvshvshvshuu", like after wrong car gear number shifting. After the speed stabilisation this noise disappears. Is it normal? Or what is the problem?
Try advertising the specs and compatibility of your upgrades. Like the high power it is not compatible with the xpression3.
Just try figuring out what aluminum sub platter is comparable with the xpression 3?
I gave up trying to upgrade it.
Then play Ildjarn "forest Poetry" sounds fantastic!
Does the acrylic platter fit with the primary e ?
Sub-plater upgrade for a Debut Carbon Esprit SB please?
Hi! Can i put a cork mat under my a1 turntable?
Finde ich cool. Da wird für Upgrade geworben... Aber das der Acrylteller bei Debut Serie für viele Systeme (Ortofon M2 generell) zu hoch ist und es keine Einstellungsmöglichkeit gibt das zu korrigieren, wird nicht erwähnt. Auch Mails diesbezüglich bleiben unbeantwortet!
So how much would all these "upgrades" cost vs buying a higher quality table to begin with?
The best upgrade you can make on your system is Qobuz!
Very good tautorial video :-)
I love pro-ject turntables but the cables are not as great as their other projects out of the three turntables I’ve had two of the cables developed a dead side and had to be replaced. Just woke up one morning and the left or right side was dead. Of course the cable was my last thought which resulted in me tearing apart the whole system the first time around.
does the acrylic platter fits all of your turntable line?
I've got the Debut III S Audiophile
Yes, the Acryl it also fits on the Debut III S Audiophile.
i have pro ject t1 bt would like an upgrade,which would be the best original glass platter or platter aluminum debut carbon
Only the stock glass platter works with your T1. No upgrade available.
Does the Alu Sub-Platter work on the Debut Carbon EVO? BTW really liked the video
Yes, for sure!
With the weight of the clamp it would seem that would mess with the speed on a belt drive. No?
Does the acryl it need to be used with a mat since my pro-ject debut evo doesn’t have vta adjustment?
Acrylic platters don't generally need to be used with a mat
Good Sunday from Italy
When will the Debut Alu Subplatter be available?
Will be available in the following weeks.
Would I use a debut sub teller and platter to upgrade a t1 or does the t1 not have any upgrades?
No sub-platter upgrade available for the T1 unfortunately.
Sub-platter upgrade for project x2? Debut alu Sub-Plater or The Classic Evo Sub-Platter? Thanks
An upgrade sub platter for the X2 is not available at the moment.
I just bought a Pro-Ject turntable and, so far, it's great. I havent done anything to it, so, do I just leave it alone ?
What are your interconnect cables are they 50 Ohms? ideally want 50 ohm cable and 50 ohm BNC silver Jacks and sockets, RCA generally is 75 Ohm and doesn't offer a very good connection. cable you want is an RG 50/u coaxial cable cheap and best to use solid core copper.
One thing I can't get information is litz tonearm cable at 50 ohms do you make it you know who does
And you really want to get the energy out of the main bearing this is done best with tungsten powder c80 ideally from buffalo tungsten powder, fill a squash ball with tungsten powder and superglue it to the plinth you can get tungsten powder for golf clubs I'm not sure what the oxygen and carbon is tho but c80 is one of the best. I haven't experimented with another tungsten powder formulas there's many to choose from but for mass c80 is one of the best
Produced by a diamond headed CNC! Take my money now!
I own the Pro- Ject 1 Xpression would your acrylic platter fit my turntable pleas?
Yes, will fit!
I love my T1 phono. Interesting you don’t mention phono stage upgrades.
Phono stages are such a big topic we would like to do in a separate video.
@@Projectaudiosystems sounds good. Can’t wait :)
I have a Debut Carbon EVO and am experiencing an electric humming sound that occurs very infrequently. Any suggestions?
Power it solved mine😊
Sounds like my new Evo turntable is a lot like my Miata and its upgrades... They can eventually hold an extra TON of money...
Guten Tag
Gibts das auch auf Deutsch?
What model Pro-Ject turntable is this? Looks slick!
It's a Debut Carbon.
The Pick it 2MM comes on the Pro Ject T2, is the stylus upgradable? (such as with the red to blue, bronze to black Line?
How do I connect my RPM 10 Carbon to the Power Box Uni? I was told this was the best option as a power supply but they have different plugs. The motor has an AC15v 1 pin style and the Power Box has a 3 pin mini XLR. No dealer was able to help me. Please help me @Pro-Ject. Thanks Enrico a loyal customer in Italy
Your RPM 10 Carbon should have a 15V DC input. If you want to power your turntable you need the Power Box Uni 1-way TT with the 15V output. A fitting cable is in the box.
@@Projectaudiosystems I purchased the 4-way because the dealers all said the 1-way was discontinued and in the box there was no such cable.
@@Projectaudiosystems can you please email me so we can communicate about this please. Puroplatino@aol.com
Acrylic platters do not need dust & hair magnet mats.
Ist der Alu Sub Platter ausverkauft? Den gibt es nirgends mehr zu bestellen.
Der Sub Platter wird in den nächsten Wochen erhältlich sein.
Power Box S2 out of stock everywhere? Will it return?
Unfortunately will soon be discontinued.
Does the clamp-it work to flatten slightly warped records so the needle tracks smoothly?
Absolutely
It also stabilises your vinyl and helps control vibration and resonance!
What mat on an acrylic platter?
You don't need a mat on an acrylic platter :)
I had a debut 3.tried cork Matt and upgrade. Reduced rumble.. but still there. Bought technics 1200. No rumble and better sound. Problem solved.
Yes those are great, my 1200G is basically free of rumble too.
I measured the rumble at -72dB, which is the noise floor of the test record itself.
Mats don't change the sound characteristic or color.
Better mats only improve the dynamic range by lowering rumble and reduces pops from static noise.
Please When the alu sub-platter Will be available in shops ?
Will be available in the following weeks.
Can I put a acrylic platter in my rpm 1.3 genie?
Unfortunately not supported.
@@Projectaudiosystems Well, I just did and it works perfect! Why do you state that its not supported?
Platter bearing spindle and the bushing on the platter are different on 1.3 and 1 Carbon and the Acryl it for RPM 1 Carbon was made for the RPM 1 Carbon bearing design. Spindle diameters are the same, so it will physically fit, but on a technical level it doesn't work to the same effect as on the 1.3. To be honest, it is a small detail, if you enjoy it, keep enjoying it!
@@Projectaudiosystems yes I know but there is difference, I bought my acryl platter is not from Pro-ject, is from a German Company who make this platters, it is working very good but thanks anyway for the technical support!
The best way is not to waste time on testing multiple upgrades and worrying about imperfections of the system, and simply enjoy listening to the music instead !
If you're just enjoy listening to the music, stick to digital. Music is much more enjoyable with better clarity, separation, transparency. A cheap TT wont get you any of this.
@@mikechivy Depends, basically any CD will be better than nearly any TT setup, but most half decent TT setups can easily get better than any straight MP3. With TT becoming more and more advanced, it’s quality is only going up. That does however require a lot of work and money so if it is just for the music it wouldn’t be worth it. That’s why most only love it for the act of collecting and balancing out a TT system. No it’s not practical in the least, but it can be very enjoyable.
but i have disposable income
The only problem I have is that . Once I set it up that’s the only sound I would know . Am
I have TT and CD too. And I can say, near all records, which I have in both version, playing better from TT than CD. On same audio set. CD hae less resolution and dinamic than quality vinyl. Maybe quality HD digital records 96/24 flac and better have same quality as vinil. CD generaly isn't best sound source.
Just got this turntable today with a good hifi all for 230 uk £ best cheers byy but high rnd hi fi I ever bought all 2 amps are maranz cd play same with usb and streamer lg cd player streamer and speakers and this turntable for 230
I tried the power supply upgrade and it only added hum whenever I start up the platter. The hum gets louder as I turn the volume up. Only way to get rid of the hum is to disconnect ground wire from my turntable to the phono preamp, or put the stock wall wart back. I put the stock wall wart back.
In this case you introduced a ground loop, as the upgrade High Power it is fully grounded but the stock one isn't! Can happen if more than one device have a fully grounded power plug!
@@Projectaudiosystems so is it ok to not connect the ground wire since its already grounded?
Do you recommend not using a turntable mat if an acrylic platter is fitted?
Definitely don't use a mat. The whole advantage is the direct contact with the platter. A Clamp It really helps 😃
It is difficult to buy products in Korea.
I bought it in Germany, UK and USA.
Its minimalist design fits well anywhere.
I love it.
Even more difficult/ next to impossible to buy the products in India.
Will the Alu-Subplatter also come for the x1?
Hello, not planned at the moment. Cheers Pro-Ject.
Meine Reklamation von einem Debüt Carbon EVO mit einem Plattenteller mit Höhenschlag wird seit Monaten nicht bearbeitet. Vielleicht bin ich ja ein Einzelfall. Ich sollte mir eine andere Marke aussuchen. 😭
#projectcarbonevo
It is very nice and godhearted man giving all these different possibilities to chose from and spend money in the hope getting better sound. But some upgrades this company(not mentioned in this video) are only nesecry because of bad design in the first place.
Correct.
My Pro-Ject metal platter makes an audible scraping noise when playing any LP - It is a flaw in the design and my other turntables do not have this issue - matt does not fix it and neither does a sound dampener below the TT or a clamp as it is the grind of the metal platter that is the cause...sounds like a can opener - not really a good audio experience
That collar though...
The author did not touch upon the two most important upgrades of your playing device.
First and foremost - the most accurate adjustment and alignment of the rocker arm and shell and head position. Putting in order the mobility of the suspension units of the tonearm - running in the bearings and grinding in all the bearings and rotation bushings to maximum mobility.
And the second is the replacement of the tonearm with a more correctly designed one in terms of responses and resonances, standing deformation waves. A good tone arm should have minimal inertia and maximum damping.
