ProJect Debut Carbon Esprit Belt Drive Turntable

The Pro-Jet Debut Carbon Esprit is a premium turntable that takes the legendary performance of the standard Debut Carbon to a completely new level. Featuring a Gloss Black finish, this deck is designed for vinyl enthusiasts who want great sound quality with looks to match.

So why buy it?

Brand New Audio-Technica AT-VM95C: Fitted with a brand-new VM95 series moving magnet (MM) cartridge. It delivers a clean, well-balanced sound with excellent tracking. It also offers a fantastic upgrade path - the stylus can easily be swapped later for an elliptical (EN), microlinear (ML), or Shibata (SH) needle without changing the entire cartridge body.

Heavy Acrylic Platter: The most striking upgrade is the resonant-free Acryl-It platter. It naturally dampens vibrations, enhances speed stability, and lets you play your records directly on the surface without needing a separate felt mat.

Carbon Fibre Tonearm: Features a high-end, 8.6-inch one-piece carbon fibre tonearm. It is incredibly rigid yet lightweight, drastically reducing self-resonance for a cleaner, more detailed audio presentation.

Pure Minimalist Design: Built around a quiet, decoupled synchronous AC motor. Speeds (33 and 45 RPM) are adjusted manually by lifting the platter and shifting the belt on the precision motor pulley, keeping the signal path clean.

Great Cosmetic Condition: The Gloss Black plinth looks fantastic, and the included clear dust cover is in good condition with only light marks or swirls.

It is fully serviced and ready to spin :)
