Overview

Pro-Ject Audio Systems have more to add to the Debut series – in fact, let’s call it a ‘statement’, a massive upgrade from the first Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. The relatively recent release of Debut Carbon EVO was beyond successful, but Heinz Lichtenegger’s 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.
The High Notes
A Complete Audiophile-level Table

A Complete Audiophile-level Table

The Debut Pro is for serious vinyl enthusiasts who do not want to break the bank. Every aspect of the Debut Pro is all about performance from the cartridge all the way down to the special isolation feet. Hear things in your vinyl collection you never knew were in the grooves with the Debut Pro.
The Best Tonearm on a Debut Yet

The Best Tonearm on a Debut Yet

We are super impressed with this tonearm. The bearings are first class and the arm itself is a sandwich layer of aluminum and carbon fiber. We love the fact it is the first Debut arm to have adjustable VTA and Azimuth to allow you to mount any cartridge on it.
Great Upgrade Path

Great Upgrade Path

By itself, the Debut Pro is a great table, but you have several possible upgrades to push it even further from isolation platforms, record clamps, inner platter bearings, and more. It’s fun to hear these improvements as you add them one by one.

You’ve probably seen Pro-Ject turntables in the past, as they have been around for decades. Their turntables are all made and assembled at their plants around Europe. The original Debut Carbon went on to become one of the very best-selling turntables of all time. Pro-Ject developed the Debut Carbon EVO as a full upgrade to the Debut Carbon, which is what we feel is one of the best turntable bargains out there. The Pro-Ject Debut Pro takes the basic EVO chassis and has many big upgrades for better performance.

The EVO and Pro share the same great isolation feet, speed control, motor mount, and plinth, and both come with the Sumiko Rainier phono cartridge with its great upgrade path by simply changing the stylus. The differences lie in two of the most important aspects of a turntable: the platter and the tonearm. The EVO has a 4-pound steel platter with TPE damping, and the Pro gets a one-piece aluminum platter with the same damping but even more weight around the perimeter for a better flywheel effect which gives you a more consistent speed. But the big deal is the tonearm. You can spend thousands of dollars alone on a tonearm for its precision-made bearings. Pro-Ject uses its own CNC machines to manufacture the bearing assembly from a single block of aluminum for extreme tolerances. The fully adjustable arm is aluminum wrapped in carbon fiber.

The Pro is a turntable you can grow with for decades as its tonearm will support cartridges that cost more than the table itself. And as much as we liked the EVO, the Pro surpasses it in all spectrums because of the superior tonearm and better platter.
