Pro-ject Debut Reference 10

An elegant belt-drive vinyl player that elevates the renowned qualities of its popular and award-winning Debut range to unprecedented heights of technical and sonic excellence. There are many engineering elements of this refined analogue source worthy of note, the first of which is the use of diamond-cut aluminium parts using state-of-the-art CNC tooling responsible for its unmistakably premium look and feel. This is the case of the "sub-platter" or reading arm (from the tube to the counterweight, passing through the pivoting system and the base), made of the aforementioned metal and carbon fibre in a carefully studied sandwich configuration, exhibiting a combination of structural robustness, lightness and tonal neutrality that is ideal for the perfect tracking of the vinyl groove. The arm, whose effective length is 254 mm (10") and is built in a single piece, also features a generous number of adjustments, starting with the vertical reading angle or VTA and ending with the azimuth, without forgetting the anti-skating, thus facilitating an optimal installation of the selected pick-up capsule. Finally, the optional Power Box S3 Phono can be upgraded with the optional external power supply from Pro-Ject. Features: Very high performance turntable with an exceptional price/performance ratio.
