"Here's a super cool idea. One of my favorite bands, Wilco, is offering a limited edition Pro-Ject Carbon DC turntable to go along with their new album, Schmilco, which arrives on September 9. You get a limited edition orange LP, and yes, a matching turntable. They're only going to make 100 of these, so chances are they'll be worth a lot more in a very short time."
"Earlier this week Wilco announced 10th studio album Schmilco - now they've announced that they're releasing a special Schmilco turntable as well. The turntable comes with a limited edition translucent orange vinyl edition of the record. It's a modification of the Debut Carbon DC made in collaboration with Pro-ject in their factory in Litovel, Czech Republic.
"I think this record is 'joyously negative'" frontman Jeff Tweedy says of Schmilco. "It's sad in a lot of ways but not in any that reach a conclusion of doom or hopelessness. . . I just had a lot of fun being sour about the things that upset me."
Specs: • 8,6” carbon tonearm • Increased platter size with more weight • Precision belt drive with synchronous motor • New DC power supply with ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability. • New TPE motor suspension • Felt mat
The first Debut turntable, introduced in the late 1990s, was a revolution for the hi-fi industry. For the first time after the arrival of Compact Disc and the assumed demise of vinyl records, an analogue product re-emerged in the “mass market” – something all music lovers could afford. The new DEBUT Carbon DC was designed to set new standards in this category for the coming decade – perfectly timed as analogue today is again a respected source, while the demand for good turntables is growing again!
The most obvious improvement is the inclusion of a CARBON TUBE for the tonearm, which increases stiffness and decreases unwanted resonance. This material normally is extensively used in high-end tonearms, but – because of cost reasons – was never used in products at lower price levels. Together with other improvements like an increase in platter size and weight to realize even smoother rotation, the overall sound quality is greatly improved. The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling (utilising TPE-damping) and ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability without unwanted vibration.
