#Rega rp1 vs project debut carbon upgrade#

To be fair all of the Rega's are pretty similar in design and construction with a lot of parts being interchangeable and it's all the standard stuff like Acrylic platters, nicely made sub platters, ruby main bearings etc etc.

the current lines are very similar to the products Rega and others produced back then, the Uturn though is a little different to the standard unspring table design because it uses a unipivot arm As u/radimus1 points out, the EVO has the same tonearm as the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. Is the Pro-Ject Carbon Debut-or even the Rega RP1 for that matter-the sonic equal of that old 500 Rega Planar 2 Its hard to say since I havent heard the.

Therefore, the Fluance is better sounding than the Pro-Ject. You can listen to the actual audio clips.

#Rega rp1 vs project debut carbon upgrade#

Given the choice between RP1 and DC Carbon I would always go Rega, I still think the RB202 is the better arm on the two and the Rega has the better upgrade parts availability.įor the Rega and Project tables in reality though next to nothing has changed in the TT world since the early 90's. The Fluance sounds very similar to the Rega, whereas the Pro-Ject is blown out of the water. That said if it's the same one he has had it for sale since at least January so on balance it must be priced too high.Ī Uturn with an Acrylic platter and it's unipivot arm might be an interesting alternative but not having heard one I can't comment sadly. which is the better turntable Rega rp1 9 vote (s) 45.0 Pro-ject debut carbon 11 vote (s) 55. Jase's advice still stands but $500 for a used Planar 2 seems very steep to me although that's based on UK prices.

If the planar 2 has another arm, You'd have to revaluate That arm is better than the rb202 on the current rp1 and the debut carbon. For better or worse, even an entry level table like the Debut Carbon reveals a lot you probably never heard from an LP. Really liked the table for a couple of years. I owned a Debut Carbon with speed box and acrylic platter. If it has the rb250 arm, and it's a bit cheaper than the others. Several good choices in the 500-1000 turntable chase. The rega planar 2 was the entry level when it was released.
