What cartridge comes with pro-ject Debut Carbon?
The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon comes standard with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Which is a good cartridge for a turntable in this price range. But there is a lot more sonic performance left on the table that can be tapped into with a higher-end cartridge.
Is anti skate necessary?
YES – you DO need anti-skating. It is just simple physics. Setting it where it provides equal force per groove wall for where music spends 80-90% of its time is simply correct – 30-40% average modulation level antiskating adjustment makes FAR more sense, both from the standpoint of listening, and wear.
