Pro-Ject Debut Pro Turntable Unboxed | The Listening Post | TLPCHC TLPWLG

#ProJect #DebutPro Turntable #Unboxed After the Debut Carbon EVO revolutionized the Debut series in 2020, the Debut PRO raises the bar even higher. We designed not only a new turntable but also a completely new cartridge. Now, for the 30th anniversary, we are again going back to Pro-Ject's roots.
The Debut PRO brings an absolutely new design to Pro-Ject turntables. The audiophile turntable is convincing in all respects - not only visually, but more importantly also in terms of sound. The precision CNC milled parts are optically perfectly coordinated and lead the Debut PRO to its modern simple, elegant and unprecedented design. The nickel finish of all these aluminium components result in a hard, resistant surface. This process enables us to produce very high-quality and sustainable components and avoid plastics and similar materials that continue to age over time and would more importantly also degrade sound quality.
Features...

Pick it PRO Cartridge
Nickel Coated Components
Hybrid Carbon Aluminium Sandwich Tonearm
Fully adjustable VTA & Azimuth
33/45/78 RPM
New Bearing block
Special TPE damped & anti magnetic Platter
Damped & height adjustable Metal Feet
Pick it PRO
Pro-Ject's new Pick it PRO delivers a more lively and robust sound and convinces with its big dynamic range. The perfect combination of components is the key to achieve the great charismatic sound of the Pick it PRO.
Tonearm Bearing
The tonearm bearing is a completely new design. Precision CNC'd out of a single block of aluminium, you can see all the production stages above. The last step is putting a nickel finish on it. This will increase the rigidity of the bearing, ensuring free and fluid movement of the tonearm and precise tracking without material degration in looks or function.
Deeply driven
The electronically regulated synchronous motor drives the platter and guarantees the most accurate and stable speeds. Change between them easily with the toggle switch. With the supplied round belt for 78 rpm you can also listen to yPro-Ject's shellac records.
A new platter - a deeper dish
The new Debut PRO platter is a first on any Pro-Ject turntable. It features a notch for the record label and together with Pro-Ject's Record Puck PRO (available separately) the puck's weight will press it tightly into the platter. The die-cast aluminum platter is reworked and precision balanced in an extra step to obtain an evenly spinning platter. It is anti-magnetic, allowing MC cartridges to work properly. Delve deep into the vast upgrade path the Debut PRO has to offer!
The anti-magnetic heavy aluminum platter has a ring made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on the inside that helps to dampen all resonances and minimizes wow and flutter. Pro-Ject's seperately available Record Puck PRO provides an extra level of damping and stability, so it is the perfect add-on for the Debut PRO.
Hybrid Tonearm
The new Debut PRO features a one-piece carbon-aluminium sandwich tonearm. The carbon layer gives the tonearm a high degree of rigidity, while the inner aluminium tube takes over the damping of the tonearm. This makes the tonearm perfect to be upgraded with higher-end MC cartridges!
Azimuth & VTA Adjustment
The newly designed tonearm base allows you to adjust both the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle (VTA). The tonearm height can be continuously adjusted by loosening the two grub screws. These settings give you the option of adapting the tonearm to height changes allowing the use of different turntable mats or other cartridges to always achieve the best sound quality. Setting and experimenting with the VTA & Azimuth is crucial in extracting every last bit of performance out of yPro-Ject's cartridges.

I’m sure it would track beautifully. If the stylus would get anywhere near the record, which mine, after being set up perfectly, by the guide, is not.

[@TLPCHC]

Check you are using the raiser / lower arm correctly. There is also a small screw in the raiser that can addjust height.

Nice review mate. As well as a nice mess on the floor

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you Draw4Reel

[@jacklawer6389]

Nice review, thanks
Are the feet adjustable on these tables..?

[@TLPCHC]

Yes, they are threded and you can adjust them

[@EddieJazzFan]

Does anyone know the reason that different countries get different cartridges with this turntable? In my country you get the Sumiko Rainier with this. Is the Pickit Pro better?

[@TLPCHC]

In the US, Sumiko distributes Pro-Ject turntables

[@cpa889900]

Enjoyable as always

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you cpa

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you Mark H

[@theredon2]

Hi, Do you think this turntable will benefit if you use the acrylic platter and also the new subplatter?
Thanks!

[@TLPCHC]

Yes - But the puck first

[@gerardfletcher1203]

[@TLPCHC]

Thanks Gerard

[@stefanonacci6249]

sorry but for 100 $ more I prefer Pro-Ject X1

[@TLPCHC]

I don't disagree

[@Mementobass]

Sorry it's not a High End turntable for € 20K, but just like you treat the work of others, you're just someone who doesn't value the work of others.

[@TLPCHC]

I don't understand the question

[@mrk8212]

Its not you.. that was a word salad
