update i did take the plater off to see if i could feel the motor mount and it also vibrates a lot
i have also read that theirs more people finding out the same as me it's a motor problem not the sub's

You can feel the motor vibrate on the mounting board.

With regard to the screws that were removed -- they are not supposed to be removed. To remove them was the correct thing to do with the Debut III. With the Carbon, they're supposed to stay in. At least, that's per Pro-Ject's instructions.

That said, the problem obviously exists in many of these turntables, whether the screws are in or out. It's not feedback or the electrical phenomenon known as hum. It's motor vibration. These motors are the same among several models of Pro-Ject and Music Hall turntables, but cause an obvious vibration issue on only certain models. Since it's new, I'd probably return it, unless I could figure out a way to stabilize the motor.

Thanks 02audiono

BOB r...There is a fix. Its put out by Hensley Designs over in the HK. Look him up....of course, if you plain on taking the table back...that would be the logical thing to do. How much are you will to spend on a table? I've not heard about this problem on the lower end Music Hall tables....but have heard about them on the lower end Pro-Ject tables. The higher end of Pro-Ject seems to have no such issues.

They're supposed to stay in At least, that's per project's instructions.

i do agree, No where does it say that the screws are to be removed (per the instructions)
So then why did the salesman even remove them in the first place? I have not been back to the store nor have i called them cense they told me on the phone to hang loose.And to give them the month of May to get another turntable inn
