That is, the soundstage from the EVO was more open and airy with a great sense of fragility and delicacy in the treble. Which was a complete surprise, I must add. The song was sprightly and moved with a real bounce.Įven so, the EVO not only held its own but managed to land a few blows against the RP3. The effect was also to keep the music moving.
Vocals were focused while the upper mids had a real sense of precision. The percussion wasn’t just tonally correct but organic in how it described each thwack of the drum. The RP3 offered tremendous confidence in its overall presentation while the lower frequencies, as a whole, were a thing of beauty. This turntable should, by rights, be better than the Pro-Ject EVO in all areas. Next up was the EVO’s greatest challenge, the Rega RP3. A tonal realism that allowed you to better appreciate the art of the music instead of only an attractive musical noise. The result was a tonal realism that you just don’t hear on lower cost turntables. The LP5x rolled off at a point in the upper mids while the EVO just kept on going. As for the mids themselves? The EVO had a better take of midrange detail offering the ear an extended dynamic reach. The EVO offered a good sense of bass but the EVO also offered a better balanced bass response that worked with the mids instead of slightly dominating them. It provided bass weight, there was real punch here and a sense of impact while the mids and treble were admirable and supplied a good partnership with the lower frequencies but they couldn’t compete with the EVO.
The LP5x was all about muscle on this test. The sub-platter and pulley BALANCED RESPONSE The precision allowed more detail to infuse the soundstage while the pace of the music picked up because that focus removed any tiny elements of drag. Overall, the EVO was far more focused while the bank of strings offered weight, they were no longer just a tone they seemed to have body now.
The EVO introduced a shimmer to the bell effect, a lightness, a delicacy and again, that echo-based reverb that provided space. The RP1 tells you about a riffle of bells used as secondary percussion.
#PRO JECT DEBUT CARBON EVO SKIN#
The EVO tells you about its weight, the reverb that emanates from it and the bounce from the drum skin on the top. So the RP1 tells you about the deep, resonant drum at the start of the track. With the EVO, it added new sonic dimensions of realism. You could hear the rustle of the grass and the wind on your face. The RP1 showed you a photograph of the area. In short, the RP1 described all of the detail. If you’re looking to upgrade, is the EVO a viable option? Does the EVO improve overall sound and, if so, by how much?
