Turntable £599 whf.cm/Debut_Evo_2
The new Pro-Ject Debut Evo 2 is an updated version of the five-star Debut Carbon Evo, with key elements taken from the two-time What Hi-Fi? Product of the Year winner, the Debut Pro, to elevate the performance further. As the Debut Pro is now being replaced (by a balancedconnection equipped model), it's this new Evo 2 that is being pitched as the real standard-bearer for the Debut line.
The Evo 2 costs £599, undercutting the outgoing Debut Pro, which we tested at £699. At this price, it goes toe to toe with its evergreen rival, the Rega Planar 2, the Planar 2/Nd3 package going for £599.
Simplicity with pizazz
The Debut has a clean, minimal design that is well built and smooth in use. It marries that simplicity with a touch of pizazz, depending on the colour of finish you choose. Our review sample was in a wine-red satin finish, the sophisticated hue and quality of which helps the deck look sleek and stylish, but Pro-Ject generously offers another nine finishes.
