Adding a turntable to my system

I've not heard the base Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. However, I have the upgraded Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB and I think it is a fine turntable for the price. I believe it is $599 retail. In addition to the regular Debut Carbon features, it offers an acrylic platter and electronic speed box. Mine is in the Ferrari Red and I think it looks fantastic. It's not perfect, but I think it competes well with anything in it's price range.

Well here's what I went with Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB Turntable With ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge with acrylic platter and a 
Pro-Ject Phono Box E pre amp for 569.i thought it was a good deal.

I think you made a great choice to start.  I had the same TT w/ a project tube box S, and for the the money it sounded wonderful.

Enjoy it!

@thirsty93 - Excellent! Let us know what you think once you've had a chance to set it up and take a listen. If it's new, the cartridge might need a bit of break-in. I think my Ortofon 2M Red took about 10-20 hours playing time to open up.

Give the cartridge at least 50 hours of play time. Mine was improving up to about 120 hours, not Ortofon.
