Review: I adore yellow cars but even I had some doubts about a bright yellow turntable. Plus I could not decide between the Fluance RT85 or Project Carbon Evo. After a week of swopping around between the two and numerous reviews, the European build and look of the Pro-ject Carbon won the day. The turntable is superb, both in looks, quality and sound. I lost a Dual 505-2 turntable to ageing electrics that had lasted 35 years, replaced with an Audio-technica LP60X but wanted something a bit more specific. This fits the bill exactly and the sound is sensational even with the Ortofon 2M red stylus. I have the 2M blue as a backup but at the moment, the turntable is exactly what I was looking for. Amazing service from TVA/Electricshop that supplied in under 24 hours and has an exceptional customer service department. Most roads seem to end up at Henley Audio if you go Pro-Ject and their website looks exceptional. For just under £500 the turntable seems unbeatable value and the ability to upgrade to get the quality of £1000 + turntables is perfect for me. It is not far off £1000 turntables out of the box and once the 2M blue is fitted maybe that will be it. Set up is straightforward but not without 'fun'. The anti-skate is odd. Basically a small weight attached to a loop of fishing line. Not easy to fit as there is a tendency for the loop to fall off the groove and the line is so thin it is difficult to see. Loads of Youtube videos to help but I ended up adjusting the holding arm slightly outwards so that the fishing line stayed in place. Try to get the line as close to the horizontal as you can by adjusting the arm. It also helps once you have it 'fitted' to leave it completely alone for a couple of hours so it 'fixes' itself to the groove with pressure. One last thing. Instructions. Clear, simple, all in English, easy to follow and everything packed securely. And yes, if you love a yellow and black mix, this will suit you100%. It does not look tacky or cheap. It looks sensational.

Review: This is an absolutely beautiful piece of equipment which is so easy to setup and be listening to your favourite vinyl within minutes of opening the box. It arrived well packaged and the instructions were step by step in photographic form which makes it very easy to get going. After reading many reviews I am glad I went for this model, yes the investment is quite high but after 20 years of not having a turn table I felt it was justified and I have been proved right.
