Pro-Ject’s low-cost Debut model gets a carbon-fiber upgrade.
Carbon fiber is included in all sorts of products, sometimes for absurd and cynical reasons. My Philips Arcitec electric razor, for example, has carbon fiber trim on its sides. The carbon fiber doesn’t lighten or stiffen the razor, much less improve my shave. It merely adds cachet. Call me unromantic, but I don’t need my razor to evoke images of F1 cars and high-tech jets.
So why should you care that Pro-Ject dolled up its new Debut Carbon turntable with a carbon fiber tonearm?
