AsD Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I was just offered a Heritage Debut Carbon by a friend of mine. It's brand new in box and everything. He wants 200 bucks for it which sound pretty cheap as the Pro-ject Debut Carbon is about 600 dollars where i live. I am pretty sure the only difference is det walnut finish and the Klipsch cork mat and logo. I never owned anything Ortofon or Pro-ject so i dont know the 2m Red or the Debut Carbon. Is it worth the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'd buy it for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsD Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 But is it any good? I don't want to buy it just because it's cheap you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those TT's usually go for $300+ used, so it is a good buy. Unless you want to spend a couple of grand. Cheers, Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All day long it is a good deal and place to start, if starting TT's. Sounds like a friend indeed. Good fortune! Ones I have heard good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put another way, if you do not like it, I would or other buy it from you for the same good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsD Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thanks for the response guys. Well it's not my first turntable. I have a Rega and a Thorens in other rooms. He only thought of me because i resently bought a pair of walnut Rf7 ll on sale to use in the man cave. I'm not entirely sure how many records i'll be playing in there to be honest. It's more of a hanging around drinking draft beer and playing darts or pool kinda place. 😛 But it could look cool although it has to sound decent to. He wont let me try it out though before buying because it's factory sealed. I know it's not a lot of money and all. But as i said, i'm not even sure i'll be using it that much and if the sound quality is bad then i really don't need it in my life. 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsD Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Oh and he has a 2m Silver cartridge he's been trying to sell me too. Might just grab that one too. Although i don't know if it's even worth it. 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleywood Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Definitely worth the money. The Debut Carbons go for $399 new. The Carbon Esprit with on board speed box sells for $599. Ortofon makes a top notch cartridge. It's a win win for you at that price. Project is one of the best selling brands of entry to mid level turntables. If you don't like it you should have no problem selling it on Audiogon for a few bucks more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The price is more than good. Cart only if new is worth money. A good combo, just tickles my imagination how would it look after a few parties in a man cave . May be put it on a wall shelf so it would be harder to do some damage. Turntables and parties usually do not go well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
