"Sounding wholly convincing digging out an impressive amount of low end weight"
- The MaiA S3 works in details that other amplifiers miss producing something genuinely rousing.

Staggeringly good!
UK 10.2020
... impressive bass response. The Debut has improved considerably in this regard over the years and the Carbon EVO is the best manifestation yet.
... this is some of the best analog bass you can currently get your hands on for under £500 and it puts the Pro-Ject above many equivalently priced rivals.
... it involves and demands your attention in a way that is fairly unusual for such a relatively affordable design.
... a turntable that is staggeringly competent ...
... provides a performance that is easily equal of any remotely priced equivalent rival...

Everything about it says it has reached maturity
UK 10.2020
... gorgeous finish of its new satin colorways.
... room is bathed in its rich full bodied tone.
... a magnificently plush midrange...
... so much warmth and ... plenty of weight in the bass.
It is also partnered with a great deal of detail and texture.

This little sucker cooks
U.K. 11.2020
This EVO has enough élan to exorcise any snobbery.
... found this turntable to be the budget-constrained perfect-pitchfanatic's dream deck.
the Debut Carbon EVO is greater than the sum of its parts.
... giving you a made-in-Europe turntable/arm/cartridge with pedigree and performance sofarbeyond its market category as to embarrass the rest.
Whoever combined and 'voiced' the three elements of turntable tonearm and cartridge has displayed system-assembly genius.
... the resultant sound was in-the-room/in-your-face as-real-as-you-need presence .And that's magic.

The Pro-Ject is still a big confident sounding turntable
U.K. 11.2020
... the sheen finishes really do look very contemporary...
... this is a seriously quiet turntable.
...the Carbon EVO is in a different league.
The biggest gains are in the soundstage and bass.
... the Pro-Ject hits harder and goes deeper.
... this is a turntable that tends to flow through music...
... the tonality of the Carbon EVO is very good...

"The MaiA S3 is a solid base"
UK 07.2022
- Newer aptX™-based Bluetooth devices deliver superior streaming quality.
- The S3 offers easy-to-operate minimalist controls.
- I was suitably impressed with the performance.
- The Pro-Ject MaiA S3 is a superb entry-level integrated amplifier for vinyl enthusiasts and wider music fans seeking a compact design with plenty of inputs.
- It can still put out a surprising volume.
- If you're seeking a non-pretentious entry to audiophile vinyl playback in a home where space comes at a premium the MaiA S3 is a solid base from which to nurture your obsession for music on wax.

"Delighted with the performance out of the box"
UK 10.2022
- It's hard to argue that the trio looks fantastic.
- The Carbon Evo is superbly made isolated from the outside world in a way that most affordable turntables simply aren't and it's a breeze to setup.
- The Maia is sturdy and attractive - superbly made.
- The Carbon Evo delivers - vinyl here is a Hi-Fi one.
- It effortlessly fills my listening space
- The Maia is a potent rhythmically assured and usefully spacious-sounding amp that does a very neat trick of balancing excitement and energy.
- I watched a week of TV through the Pro-Ject and I enjoyed all of it.
- The Speaker Box 5 S2 is an unreasonably good speaker. There's a fundamental 'rightness' to the way it makes music
- What the Pro-Ject System does so well is give you the integration flexibility and convenience of an all-in-one but in a manner that is entirely Pro-Ject and tremendously appealing as a result.
- This is more great affordable Hi-Fi but done in a way that is brilliantly user-friendly. It's hard to see the result as anything other than a Best Buy.

"This is what an affordable amp should be."
UK 11.2022-
The performance with a wide range of sub £1k speakers is a heady blend of realism and engagement spread over a selection of inputs with impressive real world appeal.
- The Maia S3 might be compact but it feels sturdy in its all metal casework
.- Without ever sounding like it is under strain the Maia S3 delivers a sound that is room filling and that exerts a control that keeps it sounding fast and musical
.-It consistently digs out information and works it into the mix
.- The Maia S3 works in details that other amplifiers here miss and even when things are fairly chaotic the effect is consistently enjoyable.
- If vinyl is a big part of your listening there's not much at a similar price level that is able to mix the low noise levels and genuine musical engagement like this one can.
- The Maia S3 delivers a performance and flexibility across those connections that is hard to match at the price. Pro-Ject's affordable integrated keeps getting better and the Maia S3 has to be seen as a Best Buy.

"Little amplifier with a big heart"
UK 11.2022
- The amplifier's ability to sound delicate and refined yet turn on the weight and power when required while keeping its balance and clarity is mightily impressive.
Review
Editors
...majors on all the most important aspects of vinyl LP - passion emotion and fun.
U.K. 10.2020
- ...has a lush midband that's warm without being woolly.
- ...this gutsy deck revelled in supplying a joyous amount of bottom end.
- The sense of separation was nothing short of breathtaking...
- ...a soundstage that easily reached beyond my speakers...
- Pro-Ject's Debut Carbon EVO sounds closer to a mid-level turntable than a super-budget one - and that's its genius. A self-assured sound with no nasties allied to an easy-going yet engaging personality will win it many fans.
Review
Jay Garrett
It's a winner
02.2021
- With the EVO you were there.
- The EVO added new sonic dimensions of realism.
- The EVO offered a better balance of bass tones.
- The EVO had a better take on midrange detail offering the ear an extended dynamic reach.
- The result was a greater tonal realism that you don't hear on a lower cost turntable.
- The soundstage of the EVO was more open and airy.
- I actually felt the EVO produced a better balance overall.
- The EVO rocked - and rocked efficiently - but also with plenty of emotion.
- If you're looking for a turntable up to and including £500 the first name on your list should be a Pro-Ject Debut EVO.
- The EVO deserves to completely dominate the sub-£500 market for turntables.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end: Impressive
USA 12.2020
The phono cable is one of the nicest I've seen in an entry-level turntable; it would do justice to a model costing twice as much.
the EVO did a fine job of reproducing all of this imaging with precision and an easy engaging sound.
The Evo seemed to add or subtract nothing from the sound - quite a compliment for an entry-level model.
with the EVO I got the sense of just how large was Columbia's 30th Street Studio...
Its combination of absolute ease of setup rock-steady platter speeds amazing tonearm and its overall look comprise a package that's an incredible bargain... Its low price belies the high quality of its engineering and construction. It's a winner.

"Highly recommended"
U.S.A. 02.2021
- The shielded directional phono cable included in the box appears far more substantial than the no-frills RCA interconnect usual at this price point.
- The Pro-Ject promises good sound while asking for very little in return: not much of your space not much of your money not much fuss. There's something kind of Zen about that.
- The single sounded dynamically expressive propulsive and juicy just begging to be turned up.
- The EVO rendered it delightfully big.
- The EVO can produce a wide and tall soundstage.
- Ultimately what this record player demonstrated - clearly - is the all-important distinction between sound and music.
- If there's a design parameter more crucial than a hi-fi component's ability to hold our attention and enable us to feel things I don't know what it is. The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO does this consistently emphatically at an attainable price.

This is a fantastic turntable that will last vinyl-loving audiophiles a lifetime
U.S.A. 10.2020
- It sounds like it costs twice its price tag...
- ...together the improvements offer one of the clearest most live-feeling analog listening experiences you'll find without spending thousands more. I'd go so far as to say that this is the nicest turntable you'll ever need...
- The Debut Carbon Evo is not only the best sub-$1 000 turntable I've ever heard but it's also one of the most musical turntables.
- The Debut Carbon Evo brings the feeling I chase as a musician who loves listening to music
9/10

Parker Hall
It has all the warmth and weight the vinyl format is famous for...
U.S.A. 10.2020
- The Pro-Ject is a wildly detailed listen - even the barely-there transient details are picked up on and handed over.
- ...allows every record to sound coherent and convincing.
- The finish is flawlessly smooth and as reassuring as the build quality.
- ...this Pro-Ject glides along with the sort of casual authority of sound that can only come from a well-sorted record player.
- But if you value a smooth informative ride from a beautifully engineered and nice-looking record player don't spend any money until you've heard the Debut Carbon Evo.

"The surprise of the summer"
Germany 10.2022
- At its best moments this amp caught our mouths agape.
- Incredible how the MaiA S3 drives the speakers. It had enormous punch and at the same time the perfect knack for nuanced dynamic shifts.
- And see here: the MaiA S3 was also able to drive this heavy monster.
- You have to see this tiny amp drives human-sized loudspeakers as if it were a mere finger exercise.
- There was both drive and enthusiasm. Everything aims at speed and power.
- This amp isn't a pussycat but rather a tiger. In addition accuracy we're used to from much larger and more expensive amps.

"It's amazing that you can hardly notice the Pro-Ject MaiA S3's size"
Germany 10.2022
- The Pro-Ject MaiA S3 sits in a high-quality housing made of aluminum.
- The workmanship is - as you would expect from Pro-Ject precise - down to the millimeter.
- All connections and jacks sit nice and tight. Nothing wobbles or has unnecessary play.
- The hardwired digital inputs support sample rates of up to 192 kHz and a bit depth of 24 bits -
true HiRes quality.
- The MaiA S3 features a dual-mono design.
- Especially the higher frequencies are very detailed and precisely presented which also results in a good depth staging.
- The stereo image is also wonderfully differentiated thanks to the dual-mono design.
- The instruments are well distributed in the room between and behind the speakers.
- The Pro-Ject amp's strengths also translate well to larger speakers.
- The integrated amplifier makes a really good impression in headphone listening sessions.

The Superhero
Germany 01.2021
- Even today such delicacies are not found in this price range.
- The Debut Carbon EVO is no longer entry-level - it competes in a higher league.
- This is where everything that makes records fascinating comes together.
- There's the smooth delivery the elegance of analog sound: A beautiful depiction of contours here is a sculpture between the speakers.
- The bass is tight nothing flabby chiseled accuracy throughout.
- You can hear the superiority of analog reproduction.

The Debut Carbon Evo excited me downright with its drive
DE 10.2020
The optically so simple Debut EVO plays like a master: authentic voice reproduction rich bass very robust and dynamic brass section and grand spaciousness.
I can't remember hearing this disc with a turntable under 1 000 euros (and that includes CD players under 1 000 euros...) better more energetic more joyful and more thrilling.
... the Debut Carbon EVO is a superb offer. There is a large selection of turntables for around 500 euros but hardly any serious competition for the Debut Carbon EVO.

Andreas Günther
Breathtaking
Germany 02.2021
- Somehow the Austrians manage to put together a combination of cartridge tonearm and drive that simply sounds breathtaking.
- From the first note we are directly in the music.
- The instruments the voice everything seems so alive and lifelike. The bass drums saxophone or piano remain perfectly positioned in the room.
- Given the price it's almost too good to be true.

Performance for experienced music lovers
FR 11.2020
The lower octaves of the orchestra remain perfectly audible presenting and demonstrating a subtle art of articulation. The upper registers never sounded sharp or irritating but rather contributed to the nice general clarity that adds to the precise deeply graduated sound stage with ease.
It is better to appreciate the overall balance the feeling of serenity and natural breathing which obviously does not exclude the tone and enthusiasm.
Review
Pro-Ject improves on its copy even more
FR 12.2020
Detailed crisp and lively with a knack to breathe life into mundane recordings.
The Debut Carbon EVO does not fall into our traps - on the contrary: It reproduces the entire spectrum of musical information - purely.
The debut Carbon EVO doesn't try to water down the music or be over-analytical. It respects the nuances and modulations with unlimited musicality. That makes this turntable a complete success. The challenge of the next million has been accepted!

The turntable with much higher performance than price
Croatia 04.2021
- My impression was a clean strong and direct reproduction.
- The Debut Carbon EVO offered great detail space and a good rocking atmosphere with plenty of bass.
- That's where Pro-Ject showed that it is capable of retrieving many details out of the groove with finesse. Musicians were placed accurately in their space.
- It played all kinds of genres with ease offering loads of dynamics quality timbre and an emotional quality usually reserved by much more expensive decks.
- Big orchestral material played with authority with very accurate placement.
- The Debut Carbon EVO cements its position in the market by doing a great job. It became somewhat of a little king among the simple affordable turntables whose performance is miles away from its price.

"Its sound disguises its size"
Hungary 08.2022
- Its sound disguises its size.
- The Austrian company shows that you can pack not only features but also quality and performance into a small package.
- Overall it's a performance that surprised us even though we've had plenty of experience with Pro-Ject's miniature units.
- It is first and foremost a stereo centerpiece where its power dynamics and fidelity match and blow us away.

The result exceeded all expectations
Russia 11.2020
- What I especially liked was the full rich-sounding midrange. There was no trace of lightness and lack of foundation inherent in some players of a similar class.
- The turntable drive is absolutely silent. No mechanical rumble reaches the speakers.
- There is extremely convincing bass lively not monotonous - double bass big drums have recognizable timbre and texture.
- The player accurately conveys the rhythmic pattern.
- In addition to the deep well-structured bass we perceived a powerful drive in the lower mids and a surprisingly clear transparent topend.
