I still have one of these. They're gr-r-reat!
I have heard many times those project carbons have issues with the motor speeding up and down enough that you can pick it up audibly. Those were the version they did the kickstarter for so hopefully it is fixed by now.

Nick, you are correct about the U-turn tables. Pro-ject has not done a kickstarter campaign.

Which I still own both of

I have the upgraded version with acrylic platter and speedbox, love it. This looks slightly cheaper but it isn't exactly cheap. I personally will only buy a turntable from a brick & mortar store or reputable online retailer, so that I can go back if I have issues. I don't know anything about Massdrop or how they work, maybe they have good customer service.
Also, this might be the original Project Carbon Debut. There's an updated version Project Debut Carbon DC which is what I thought this was. That one retails for $449.
I guess what I'm saying is do your research before you buy, a turntable is not an impulse purchase.

Both seem to get really good reviews, I think it's just a matter of preference.
Later on I added the Speedbox, so I wouldn't need to adjust the belt when going from 33 to 45. Also added the beautiful acrylic platter. The Ortofon Red cartridge comes pre-installed and ready to go. Lots of Youtube videos that show the easy out of box set up. I did a lot of research before I bought and this one was/is the best choice for me. Just don't get a Crosley, especially if you are playing your rare PJ records. Yikes.

Nothing since then. I suck.2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
2022- Oakland Night 2
Obviously much more expensive turntables out there that are absolutely incredible, but for the price Pro-Ject is great for many different levels of audiophiles.
Also, has the blue ortofon 2m stylus made much difference?
Im looking to upgrade to acrylic due to the static from metal platter and felt mat.
just read you dont need a mat with it...awesome. $150 in canada d'oh
