The most obvious improvement to the new Pro-Ject Debut Carbon (DC) is the inclusion of CARBON TUBE for the tonearm this increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance. This material normally is extensively used in high-end tonearms but – because of cost reasons – was never used in products at lower price levels.Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to realize even smoother rotation and new design in motor suspension the overall sound quality is greatly improved.
