Special badge inscribed with a serial number
The SL-1210GAE is wholly made in Japan by skilled
artisans’ hands, with a significant level of hand-made
processes to ensure the highest quality possible. The top panel
features a special badge, inscribed with the unique serial
number to signify that it is a 55th anniversary model.
Strobe light can be turned off
Turning off the strobe light allows the listener to concentrate
more effectively on the music, especially in dimmed environment.
Coreless Direct Drive Motor
Conventional analogue turntables have problems with degradation
in sound quality caused by factors such as minute speed
vibration during rotation and rotation irregularity called
"cogging." In the SL-1210GAE, the use of a coreless direct-drive
motor (with no iron core) eliminates cogging. Also, the
twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load whilst
maintaining high torque, and also reduces minute vibration
during rotation. These factors enable reproduction of the warm,
high-level detailed sound available from analogue vinyl records.
High-Precision Motor Control Technology
The application of motor control technology developed for
Blu-ray devices, and switching the drive mode depending on the
operational status of the motor achieves a high starting torque
and high speed stability for optimum playback.
Three-layered Turntable Platter
The turntable features a three-layered construction with a
rigidly combined brass top-plate, an aluminium die cast core
platter and a solid rubber coating covering its entire rear
surface to eliminate unwanted resonance, thereby achieving
overall superior rigidity and vibration damping. This delivers
smooth rotational stability and high inertial mass surpassing
the SP-10MK2 (the direct-drive turntable standard used by
broadcast stations worldwide), as well as having more than twice
the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5.
High-level Balance Adjustment
When the weight distribution of the turntable is uneven, excess
vibration or noise occurs during rotation, which causes
degradation in sound quality. To counteract this, the balance of
the turntable is adjusted at the factory by using specialised
high-precision balance adjustment equipment for each and every
item after the turntable is assembled. Turntables that have
undergone adjustment are labelled with a sticker reading
"BALANCED" to indicate that individual adjustment has been done.
High-Sensitivity Tonearm
The tonearm employs lightweight magnesium which has a high
damping effect, with cold drawing improving the characteristics
of the material and achieving the high-precision required. In
addition, high initial-motion sensitivity is attained by
employing the traditional Technics gimbal suspension
construction with the horizontal rotation axis and the vertical
rotation axis intersecting at a single central point, as well as
high-precision bearings using a cut-processed housing.
High-Quality Terminals
The use of brass-milled and gold-plated phono terminals and
ground terminals prevents degradation in sound quality while
enabling the easy attaching and detaching of cables. Also the
use of metal shielding construction inside the case reduces the
effects of external noise.
Four-layered Cabinet Construction
A hairline-processed, 10-mm-thick black top panel of immaculate
aluminium is added to a three-layered construction of aluminium
die-cast, BMC(Bulk Moulding Compound), and heavyweight-class
rubber. This four-layered construction combines high rigidity
necessary for superb vibration damping with a superior solid
build and a luxurious finish and feel..
Insulator
The specially developed zinc insulator features
αGEL™, a soft gel-like material with excellent shock
absorbing properties which is also used on the highly acclaimed,
‘flagship’ SL-1000R reference turntable. The
high-density zinc die-cast housing offers superb vibration
damping characteristics and excellent long-term reliability. The
new insulator effectively isolates the turntable from external
vibrations, ensuring completely undisturbed music reproduction
whilst preserving every fine nuance and detail within the
musical signal.

Nieuw van ProJect: Debut Carbon EVO
The Debut History
In the mid-90s, at the height of the Compact Disc, Pro-Ject set
a goal: bring back the analog sound experience. We decided to
create a turntable that could deliver true analog sound at a
price that a new, younger generation of record lovers could
afford. It must sound great, be simple in setup and pleasing to
use, then exude quality while remaining affordable. It should
also come in a range of colors so it could serve as a
centerpiece in any home. The first units that came off the
production line in 1999 were a runaway success. We quickly
scaled up production to meet the demands of a new wave of analog
enthusiasts that the industry had forgotten about. After more
than 20 years, the Debut is still one of the best-selling
turntables in the history of Hi-Fi with close to 1 million units
sold. The Debut made listening to vinyl an affordable option for
music lovers, while its clean, minimalist aesthetic and premium
finish options helped make analog fashionable again. We have
continually improved upon the Debut formula, adopting new
technologies and trends to ensure it was always the best option
for under $500. In the early 2010’s the Debut Carbon was
introduced, it stunned the high-end audio world by incorporating
exotic materials such as carbon fiber, thermoplastic elastomer,
and a cartridge with $100 retail value. The Debut Carbon
exploded in the US market where the resurgence of vinyl was
really born. Today, vinyl playback has once again become the
center of music lovers’ systems.

The Evolution
Building a great high-end turntable requires design expertise.
Building a great & affordable turntable requires not only
expertise, but also skilled engineering, flawless manufacturing,
advanced material sciences, and relentless passion. Creating a
worthy successor to the legendary Debut Carbon required
rethinking and reevaluating every component and each design
choice. The new Debut Carbon EVO represents the epitome of
Pro-Ject’s philosophy: high performance, clean aesthetics,
and superb value. The elegant, simple aesthetic is unmarred by
gimmicky lights, sliders, and buttons. It is a pure,
high-performance turntable. Should requirements call for a phono
preamp, Bluetooth or digital connectivity, USB interface, etc.,
we offer a wide range of external electronics, optimized for any
application.
Good Vibrations – From the Record to You
Vinyl playback starts with the cartridge, converting
what’s in the three-dimensional record groove to an
electrical signal. The new Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge
combines superb trackability with uncanny accuracy and clarity
without sacrificing smoothness. Factory mounted and aligned on
an 8.6″ low-mass carbon fiber tonearm, the Rainier offers
a replaceable stylus that can be easily upgraded to a Sumiko
Olympia (or even a Moonstone!) in a matter of seconds. No need
to replace the cartridge, reset the alignment nor rebalance the
tonearm. The signal from the Rainier is transmitted via a single
run of high quality copper wiring direct to high quality RCA
connectors with a completely separate ground, preserving the
balanced signal from the cartridge output. The Debut Carbon EVO
is supplied with our Connect It E: a semi-balanced,
low-capacitance cable with superior shielding designed
specifically to carry the delicate phono signal.

Modern Materials Meet Mass
The main platter upon which the record is played should be heavy
and non-resonant. The Debut Carbon EVO approaches this problem
by using our proven 12” steel platter, now lined around
the outer edge (bottom side) with an anti-resonant
thermo-plastic elastomer (TPE). The result is a heavier platter
with minimal noise over an expertly engineered main bearing and
sub-platter. The added rotational mass enhances the flywheel
effect, yielding reduced wow & flutter and higher stability
while damping resonance.
A Stable Stance
The Debut Carbon EVO benefits from the huge range of
higher-level design elements Pro-Ject has to offer,
incorporating the special TPE-damped metal feet from our award
winning X1 turntable. Not only do the vibration-absorbing feet
help isolate the turntable, they are easy to adjust and leveling
the turntable is now as simple as can be. A perfectly leveled,
solid & stable platform is crucially important for proper vinyl
playback.

Vibes We Don’t Want to Hear
Motors vibrate. That is a challenge for any turntable designer
to overcome as those vibrations can transfer to the tonearm and
cartridge, negatively affecting sound quality. The Debut Carbon
EVO features a new motor suspension system, decoupling the motor
from the plinth to reduce the transfer of vibration. The only
vibes we want are in the record grooves. Leveraging advanced
damping solutions with high-mass composite construction, we
created the new motor suspension system using a steel plate and
TPE decoupling to isolate the motor while ensuring the spindle
is perfectly aligned with the sub-platter for impeccable speed
stability and smooth transfer of rotational force.
No Need to Watch Your Speed
Many turntables utilize AC motors that rely on your power line
to maintain the correct speed. Many are so erratic they have to
provide speed-control which needs to be monitored and adjusted
over time. Some high-end designs offer an additional, usually
expensive external power controller to stabilize speed. The
Debut Carbon Evolution implements a sophisticated onboard power
control circuit that generates a very precise signal to ensure
accurate and consistent speed regardless of power fluctuation.
There’s no need for adjustment nor gimmicky lights and
sliders. You can simply rely on spot-on accuracy. Given the
increasing popularity of 9″ and high-quality 45rpm records
(due to their superior sound quality), we have incorporated
electronic speed switching on the EVO. The speed selector switch
is cleverly integrated with the power switch under the front
left corner, which also maintains the sleek ergonomic design the
Debut is known for.

Time for Evolution
The heavy, solid MDF plinth is painstakingly layered with eight
coats of paint, available in finishes that look and feel
luxurious. Debut Carbon EVO is crafted in traditional high-gloss
black, white and red as well as in beautiful satin finishes
including new soft pastel colors and a real walnut veneer. The
engineering and manufacturing are the culmination of decades of
know-how, investment, and passion. We build our products for the
love of music, knowing that they might be handed down to future
generations along with lovingly curated record collections. We
have taken our most beloved turntable design and improved nearly
every aspect of it. The result is an incredibly refined product
with a price/performance ratio that sets a new standard.

Ik heb de gewone carbon met een Ortofon Blue element, via een
Clearaudio Smartphono naar de pre.
Deze week enkele LP's gekocht. De meesten klonken op bepaalde
plaatsen aardig vervormd. Blijkbaar minuscule braampjes die na
de productie achtergebleven zijn (zou eigenlijk niet mogen). Nu
heb ik de platen enkele keren afgespeeld met een oudere naald en
de vervormingen zijn nagenoeg verdwenen.
Nu, It's my life van TalkTalk heb ik al op CD sinds het
uitkomen. Deze heb ik deze week dus ook op vinyl aangekocht.
Verzorgde uitgave, stevig vinyl maar geen 180gr vermoed ik.
Klinkt deze toch wel stukken beter dan de CD! Dus raad ik
iedereen, die niet enkel van klassieke muziek houdt, aan om toch
een platenspeler aan te schaffen, hoeft zeker niet de duurste te
zijn, maar wat een plezier...
