Review: If you like yellow cars would you like a Satin yellow turntable? - I adore yellow cars but even I had some doubts about a bright yellow turntable. Plus I could not decide between the Fluance RT85 or Project Carbon Evo. After a week of swopping around between the two and numerous reviews, the European build and look of the Pro-ject Carbon won the day. The turntable is superb, both in looks, quality and sound. I lost a Dual 505-2 turntable to ageing electrics that had lasted 35 years, replaced with an Audio-technica LP60X but wanted something a bit more specific. This fits the bill exactly and the sound is sensational even with the Ortofon 2M red stylus. I have the 2M blue as a backup but at the moment, the turntable is exactly what I was looking for. Amazing service from TVA/Electricshop that supplied in under 24 hours and has an exceptional customer service department. Most roads seem to end up at Henley Audio if you go Pro-Ject and their website looks exceptional. For just under £500 the turntable seems unbeatable value and the ability to upgrade to get the quality of £1000 + turntables is perfect for me. It is not far off £1000 turntables out of the box and once the 2M blue is fitted maybe that will be it. Set up is straightforward but not without 'fun'. The anti-skate is odd. Basically a small weight attached to a loop of fishing line. Not easy to fit as there is a tendency for the loop to fall off the groove and the line is so thin it is difficult to see. Loads of Youtube videos to help but I ended up adjusting the holding arm slightly outwards so that the fishing line stayed in place. Try to get the line as close to the horizontal as you can by adjusting the arm. It also helps once you have it 'fitted' to leave it completely alone for a couple of hours so it 'fixes' itself to the groove with pressure. One last thing. Instructions. Clear, simple, all in English, easy to follow and everything packed securely. And yes, if you love a yellow and black mix, this will suit you100%. It does not look tacky or cheap. It looks sensational.
Review: Nice piece of kit - Sounds good and looks good. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a record player. After doing a lot of research this is the model I opted for as it has electronic speed control, carbon fibre tone arm and an Ortofon cartridge. Its compact footprint is also a big plus compared to a lot of other turntables. Easy to set up and get playing straight away.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need an external pre-amp for this turntable?**
A: Not if your amplifier supports MM. check your amplifier specs.

**Q: Connected table to my speakers using the rca cables, plays through them fine but it's really quiet when volume is on full, help? it's not the speakers**
A: Hi Jess

make sure that your phono connections are plugged into your you phono input on the amplifier. Your turntable should have a moving magnetic cartridge so the correct input is required on the amp

HiFix

**Q: I have (very) old sanyo speakers which came with a 10 stack cd player i bought years ago - would they work with this turntable or should i upgrade?!**
A: You will need an aux function on your system and RCA connection points on the back of your system (the red and white cables with plugs on the end) you will need to buy a small preamp to fit between the turntable and your system otherwise you will not get any volume through the speakers, any preamp will do, you can pick them up fairly cheaply and it will work fine, I run mine through a CD system and I am very pleased with the sound quality.

**Q: Received mine today just finding out can anyone else hear the motor when running on 33 and louder on 45?**
A: When I start mine up on 33rpm I can hear the motor until it gets to full speed, after that it runs silently. At 45 rpm there is a very faint noise even when the motor is at full speed. It is really quiet and I hadn’t noticed it until I listened out for it when I got this request

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound, and the good looks to match
*by J***Y on 12 August 2021*

This was the first high-quality turntable that I ever had to "set up". But the instructions were super clear and easy to follow. It was fun putting a little extra care into this purchase. Once it was all hooked up, I tested a favourite record that my previous turntable would skate across. The Debut Carbon Evo was solid. Also really appreciated the quality connector wire with grounding included in the package. I've had set up now for a few weeks, and I still can't get over how good the satin blue finish looks. I'm loving every bit of this piece of hifi gear.
