Included is a decent low capacitance phono cable, which includes a ground lead.
Roughly 5-10 minutes to showtime for someone who’s done it, half an hour at most for a newbie who needs to read the directions (which are quite good). What’s left is to balance the tonearm, connect the turntable to your stereo, and enjoy some records. The geometric work of cartridge alignment is done for you, and that’s huge. The peripherals are pre-installed at the factory, meaning that setup effort is quite low, though not completely eliminated. The Debut Carbon model comes “fully equipped” with a carbon-fiber tonearm made by Pro-ject, and an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge – itself a multiple award-winner and bargain, that retails for $100. Is there another company this committed to vinyl LP reproduction today? I can think of several (Ortofon and SME among them), but none that have plug’n’play turntables starting in the $300 range! It’s basically all they do, and their lineup is vast, by any measure. Pro-ject Audio Systems has been quietly and efficiently making analog equipment in the EU for many years. That doesn’t reduce my expectations, or make excuses for what is still, for many people, a considerable investment ($400 USD). But we’ll assume that the reader is likely an aspiring audiophile, and, in that context, this is a budget turntable. This review could reach a few different potential audiences. c/w Ortofon 2M Red cartridge pre-installed. Pro-ject Debut Carbon Turntable in green.
