The Pro-Ject Debut EVO 2 would be an excellent addition to any audiophile’s entertainment system. The wood finish is solid, heavy, and extremely well made. The setup process was a breeze, especially if you have speakers with a built in phono pre-amp. The sound quality produced by the updated Ortofon/pro-ject cartridge is definitely a step up from the debut carbon evo. My one minor word of warning is that the anti-skate weight sometimes comes off of the tone arm if you accidentally touch it while changing records. This can definitely be fixed if you have more precise fingers than I do, by making a smaller and tighter loop that attaches to the tone arm, but for me it isn’t that big of an issue. Other than that, if you’re a fan of Pro-ject, or are just looking for a superb turntable, this is the one for you. You won’t be disappointed. I was torn between the new wine red or wood option, so that was the hardest part in deciding for me. I wound up going with the walnut option, but are stunning. Everyone that I have shown it to has now said they wanted to purchase one. Overall, excellent style, excellent sound, excellent turntable.
