Despite its name,
the Debut is not Pro-Ject’s first turntable but one of a series that has formed
the backbone of this hugely successful brand. In its latest guise, the Debut
includes a one-piece chassis, available in seven gloss finishes, with a belt-driven
alloy platter. The motor benefits from an improved suspension but the most
distinctive feature of this deck is its new carbon-fibre tonearm, derived from
Pro-Ject’s popular 9cc model. The sound of this turntable combination is as
mature as the design itself, with a dynamic, foot-tapping quality reminiscent
of far costlier models. Voices are also portrayed with an insightful clarity
and weight. If you are curious about the vinyl revival, then Pro-Ject’s Debut
Carbon is the ideal place to start spinning those LPs.
