Debut PRO keeps things PRO-fessional Pro-Ject Audio Systems have more to add to the Debut series in fact lets call it a "statement" a massive upgrade from their first Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. The relatively recent release of Debut Carbon EVO was beyond successful but Heinz Lichteneggers wheels were still turning. The performance enhancements for EVO were indeed profound but there was more to strike while the proverbial iron was hot. The ceaseless pursuit for improvement attention to detail advancements in research development and manufacturing amount to a Debut turntable for the ages. Pro-Ject's new Debut PRO turntable is a machine that tackles the range of turntables at a retail price of $1000 or less. The Debut PRO turntable does so in several meaningful ways. Features: 8.6 carbon-wrapped aluminum tonearm Adjustable arm height (VTA) Nickel-plated aluminum bearing block Electronic speed changer stabilizer Adjustable TPE-damped isolation feet Satin finish brushed aluminum trimmings Sumiko Rainier MM phono cartridge Note: PRO record puck available separately The Tonearm Borrowed from the audiophile-grade X1 X2 turntables Debut PRO implements the tried and true one-piece carbon-fiber-wrapped aluminum armtube. This heightens rigidity and mass allowing it to more effectively control more massive phono cartridges at this effective arm length. The composite carbon-fiber tonearm is also more effective at damping armtube resonance allowing the signal to pass through unencumbered. PRO features a sophisticated tonearm bearing block made of nickel-plated aluminum. Here again we see an exercise in rigidity while maintaining the ultra-smooth lateral motion of this high-end tonearm. The icing is the tonearm collar yielding the first Debut model to offer adjustment of vertical tracking angle. Azimuth is also readily adjustable. Listeners can fine-tune the full range of cartridge adjustment parameters to optimize the sound quality of almost any phono
