Practical differences

Highlighted cells show a lower reference price, support for more listed speeds, or the presence of a convenience feature. They are not an overall score.

On price alone the Pro-Ject Classic EVO costs less, coming in $301 (about 18%) below the EAT C-Major, bearing in mind one figure is a current reference price and the other a typical used price that moves with condition.

Both are belt-drive, so that part of the experience should feel similar on either deck: a motor that's mechanically isolated from the platter by an elastic belt, which is the usual route to a quieter noise floor — the default choice across most of hi-fi.

The EAT C-Major is discontinued, so that side of this comparison is really "used EAT C-Major vs new Pro-Ject Classic EVO" — factor in condition, service history and the lack of a warranty against a fresh unit with manufacturer support.

Bottom line: $301 separates these reference prices. That difference is factual; this specification comparison does not assign an overall winner.
