I'm no expert, but is it worth spending a lot of money on a turntable to hook up to a cube speaker like the Naim? Would you hear any difference over an entry level Project turntable?

It's whatever makes you happy and if someone's considering the Debut Carbon then I think it's worth pointing out what good value the Esprit SB is in comparison.
I'd also hope that at the cost of the QB, it can produce a decent enough sound to allow some of the Debut Carbons quality to come through it.
Personally, I'd go down a different route with that budget though.

If you can stretch to it, the Debut Carbon Esprit SB is better value as you get the Debut carbon but the benefits of the Speed Box (£200) so you don't have to remove the platter to change between 45 and 33 rpm and an acrylic platter (£110) for only £100 more.
The only thing to consider is that there's no VTA adjustment so you are limited to what cartridges you can use with the Debut Carbon / Carbon Esprit SB. If you're sticking with Ortofon, the Bronze is all you'd ever need on there if you were thinking of upgrading.
