The new Pro-Ject Debut Evo 2 turntable we have on test here 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 balanced connection-equipped model), it’s this new Evo 2 that is being pitched as the real forerunner for the Debut line.
The Debut Evo 2 costs £599 / $699 / AU$1299, undercutting the outgoing Debut Pro which we tested at £699 / $999 / AU$1079. At this price, the Evo 2 goes toe-to-toe with its evergreen rival, the Rega Planar 2, with the Planar 2/Nd3 package going for £599 / $795 / AU$1299.
