LAB REVIEW

The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable is a resouding upgrade to their popular Debut III turntable. The Debut Carbon features an Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge upgrade for fuller richer sound (better sound than Ortofon OM5e that came with the Debut III), a Carbon Fiber tonearm usually found in higher end turntables, and a completely redesigned, vibration-dampening inner-body. Boasting an excellent price point (same as the colored Debut III), but with improved hi-fi features and better cartridge, the Debut Carbon is an excellent entry to mid-level audiophile deck or a simply beautiful looking listening turntable.

Beyond its sleek exterior, the quality features run deep with the aforementioned upgrades plus a low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle that runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass bearing housing; a reduced vibration motor; and resonance damping feet.

The Shop Says...

We all use these and so should you. For DJing or commuting the sound quality, durability, and lightness are a rare combination in headphones.

MANUFACTURER's REVIEW

The one-piece TMA-1 headband consists of a strong, durable and flexible nylon material, which provides full flexibility when wearing and positioning the headphones during DJing. The two different cushions can be changed easily with the click release function, so the headphones fit all situations- from a noisy club environment to just being on the road. The speaker is protected by the cushion plate with integrated filter and provides the richest sound that is available today along with the most durable driver technology. Finally, there is a 3mm cotton fiber filter for isolation and the headphone cup out of a resistant ABS material to protect the fragile parts. The 1.7 meter cable has a mini jack connection in both ends as well as a reinforced plug with a 1/8 adapter option. It has a 0.4 meter coil on the wire, which gives extra length and flexibility at the turntable.

The name TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-1) is taken from Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" and refers to a black Monolith, which is extremely long-lived and reliable just as the TMA-1.

However, the M44G offers a more balanced output with better overall sound quality. The output of the M44G is quite a bit lower than the M447, but still comes in at a hefty 6.2mV. The qualities stated make this an excellent choice for club djs.

OUR OPINION

If you are a digital DJ, a stand for your laptop that is easy to use and quick to setup is a necessity. The LSTAND is designed to elevate your laptop over your DJ setup, eliminating the "where do I put my laptop while I DJ" problem. In addition the height-adjustable, elevated angle gives you easier access to your laptop controls. It works as a stand-alone component as well as an extension for a dj coffin or table. Remove the two bottom supports and replace them with the included clamps, and the LStand will attach onto any surface up to 2 1/8" thick. The clamps can angled in 2 different directions, allowing you to attach it both to a flat table or the vertical side of a DJ coffin. The tray attaches to the LSTAND to hold your Serato box, interface, hard drive, or other accessories. Sturdy metal construction.
