Pro-Ject Debut III Turntable In Red with Ortofon OM-5 Cartridge

Product Description

The Pro-Ject debut III is an excellent choice for the audiophile seeking a cost-effective vinyl playback solution. Pro-Ject has created something special with this turntable. The Pro-Ject Debut III uses an extremely quiet motor (decoupled from the plinth to reduce vibrations), a great tonearm with a silicone damped arm lift, and high purity copper from the headshell leads to the RCA ends. A felt-covered steel platter mates to a chrome plated stainless-steel axle running in a brass bearing housing for exceptional speed, stability and accuracy. The aluminum tonearm employs inverted hardened stainless-steel points for superior tracking with the supplied phono cartridge. The Debut III also includes a pre-installed Ortofon OM-5 MM cartridge, making this turntable a complete package. Everything is set-up for you at the factory, so once you bring one home you'll be spinning LPs within minutes. For less than you think, you can get those old LPs out of the closet, attic or basement and start having fun with analog again.


  • A silent running AC motor with two-step metal pulley drives the hub and platter via a flat-ground belt
  • The medium density fiber plinth uses four shock absorbing feet
  • Drive motor is decoupled from the plinth to reduce vibration transmission
  • The nearly three pound sheet-steel sandwiched platter provides excellent speed stability and protects records with a felt mat
  • An external power supply reduces the chance of electro-mechanical interference

5.0 out of 5 stars So worth it, May 25, 2010
This review is from: Pro-Ject Debut III Turntable In Red with Ortofon OM-5 Cartridge (Electronics)
This is hands down the best turntable I've ever heard. I haven't heard some of the pricier ones, but if you're considering upgrading from a more modestly priced ($100-$200) table, or just getting your first and want to experience vinyl in its full potential, I'd highly recommend the Pro-ject Debut III. I've been listening to vinyl for a few years, first with a standard Sony (belt-driven) and then with an Ion (direct drive), and have always secretly had a few qualms with the sound. High frequency sounds (like cymbals and S's) were consistently distorted (S's sounded more like Sh's), and occasionally with a single prolonged note the pitch would waver. But with the Debut III, the distortion has 99% disappeared, and those wavering notes (that I thought might've been issues with warped records) are in perfect tune. This, I'm sure, is helped by the fact that I also got Pro-Ject's Speedbox II, which is kind of steeply priced but regulates the speed perfectly and also lets you switch from 33... Read more
