{"title":"Pro-ject Turntables","description":"\u003cp\u003eFounded in Austria in 1991, Pro-Ject Audio Systems has spent over three decades making the case that exceptional vinyl playback need not cost a fortune. Under the leadership of Heinz Lichtenegger, the company built its reputation on precision-engineered belt-drive turntables that prioritise analogue performance over unnecessary complexity a philosophy that has made Pro-Ject a defining force in the global vinyl resurgence. Their lineup spans the full spectrum of analogue listening: from the beginner-friendly E-Line and Debut series, through the mid-range X and Carbon families, to the high-mass Xtension and flagship Signature and RS lines. Many models incorporate features like built-in phono preamps, Bluetooth streaming, and electronic speed control for effortless setup, while the upper tiers including the RPM, Xtension, and Signature ranges offer audiophile-grade materials, proprietary tonearms, and true balanced phono outputs. At Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada, we carry Pro-Ject turntables across all price points, with expert advice on cartridge matching and phono stage pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"6-perspex-sb","title":"Pro-ject 6Perspex Turntable Balanced Super Pack (Pick It Mc 3)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject 6PerspeX Balanced is a magnetically suspended belt-drive turntable available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Pro-Ject dealer in Toronto, Canada. Its transparent acrylic plinth houses a floating Corian sub-chassis resting on opposing magnets — a design that eliminates the parasitic resonances of conventional spring suspensions while keeping the sub-chassis, platter, and tonearm precisely leveled via an included spirit level. Drive comes from a quiet-running AC motor with DC-driven motor control for electronic 33\/45rpm speed switching. The 6PerspeX Balanced offers two phono outputs — balanced mini XLR and RCA\/ground — and is available without a cartridge or as the Superpack bundle with a factory-aligned Pick it MC3 moving coil cartridge.

The sub-chassis — the structure that carries both the platter and the 9cc EVO tonearm — is machined from Corian and floats on opposing magnetic fields rather than springs. Magnetic suspension avoids the rocking modes and resonant peaks common to spring-suspended designs and maintains consistent decoupling without periodic re-tuning. The outboard motor is carried by the acrylic plinth, not the sub-chassis, so motor-born vibration does not reach the platter or tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMDF\/Vinyl Platter, Inverted Bearing, and 9cc EVO Tonearm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platter is a sandwich of precision-machined MDF coated in 4mm of flat-ground recycled vinyl. This construction damps platter resonance at the source; the vinyl surface also acts as an integral record mat. A threaded spindle and screw-down clamp couple the record firmly to the platter surface, improving high-frequency tracking and reducing inter-groove modulation from record warps. The bearing is an inverted design: a stainless steel spindle tipped with a ceramic ball rotates in an inverted bronze bushing embedded in the underside of the platter for smooth, low-noise operation. The 9cc EVO tonearm's headshell and conical armtube are formed from a single piece of carbon fiber, eliminating the standing-wave problems introduced by a separate headshell joint. Inverted tonearm bearings use four hardened stainless steel tips in ABEC 7 ball races.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual Phono Outputs and Balanced Operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most Pro-Ject turntables that use a single 5-pin DIN output, the 6PerspeX Balanced provides two simultaneous outputs: a balanced mini XLR and an unbalanced RCA\/ground. Balanced operation uses either a mini XLR to mini XLR cable or an RCA to mini XLR cable, connecting to the mini XLR inputs of compatible phono stages such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, or Tube Box DS3 B. In balanced mode, common-mode noise on the cable run is cancelled at the phono stage input, lowering the noise floor and improving channel separation. The table ships with a Connect it Phono E RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use; balanced cables are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

isolate the sub-chassis from the plinth via mechanical springs, which can introduce their own resonant frequencies and require periodic re-tuning as springs change over time. The 6PerspeX Balanced uses opposing neodymium magnets beneath the Corian sub-chassis instead: there are no contact points between sub-chassis and plinth, no spring resonance modes, and no maintenance. The magnetic field maintains consistent decoupling across a broader frequency range and remains stable over the life of the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between ordering the 6PerspeX Balanced without a cartridge versus the Superpack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6PerspeX Balanced Superpack includes the Pick it MC3 moving coil cartridge pre-mounted and factory-aligned on the 9cc EVO tonearm before shipment.

At 23kg with a 10.4kg TPE-damped platter running on a magnetically decoupled inverted ceramic bearing, the Signature 10 includes Pro-Ject's own 10-inch single-pivot tonearm, balanced 5-pin DIN phono output, and electronic speed change between 33 and 45rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMass Loading and Magnetic Suspension: Both, Not Either\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost high-end turntables choose one approach to vibration isolation: mass loading (heavy plinth, heavy platter, inertial stability) or suspension (sprung sub-chassis, compliant feet). The Signature 10 applies both. The main plinth is filled with steel pellets at its central gravity point — the same approach used in Pro-Ject's Xtension and RPM 9\/10 Carbon range — drawing resonance to a single node and dissipating it through the pellets' dispersion effect, without the single resonant frequency of a solid alloy insert. The plinth then sits on opposing-magnetic isolation feet that float the entire mass above whatever surface the table rests on. The aluminum sub-chassis is further decoupled from the plinth by TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) pillows, and the platter itself is magnetically decoupled from the main bearing. The result is a four-stage mechanical isolation system: plinth-to-surface, sub-chassis-to-plinth, bearing-to-sub-chassis, and platter-to-bearing, each addressed with a different engineering approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10.4kg Platter on Inverted Ceramic Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's platter is precision-machined from aluminium alloy and damped throughout with TPE, achieving near-zero resonance. At 10.4kg, its rotational inertia provides exceptional speed stability without any electronic assist beyond the precision generator motor control. The platter spins on an inverted ceramic ball-and-plate bearing that is also magnetically decoupled: the magnetic force reduces the effective weight bearing on the ceramic ball to near zero, eliminating friction-generated noise and bearing rumble at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10-Inch Single-Pivot Tonearm by Pro-Ject\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 tonearm is a genuine Pro-Ject design — not a re-badged third-party arm — featuring a 10-inch (254.8mm effective length) single-pivot geometry in an aluminium tube. Its 15.5g effective mass suits medium-to-high compliance MC cartridges, and the arm ships with an array of counterweights allowing virtually any cartridge weight to be accommodated. A 16mm overhang is set at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced Output for Reference Operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 ships with a standard DIN-to-RCA phono cable for immediate unbalanced use, but its 5-pin DIN output supports full balanced operation via optional DIN-to-XLR or DIN-to-mini-XLR cables and a balanced phono stage.

The Signature 10 represents a higher tier of isolation and platter mass than the Xtension Evolution range. Both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat cartridges are compatible with the Pro-Ject Signature 10 tonearm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 tonearm has a 15.5g effective mass, placing it in the medium-to-high mass category. It pairs optimally with MC cartridges of low-to-medium compliance (8–16µm\/mN), such as those from Ortofon, Lyra, Benz Micro, and similar brands. The included counterweight set accommodates virtually any cartridge weight in the standard range. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for specific cartridge pairing advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pro-Ject Signature 10 come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Signature 10 is sold without a cartridge. At this level, cartridge selection is a highly personal decision that depends on your phono stage, musical priorities, and budget. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for expert cartridge recommendations matched to the 10-inch arm's 15.5g effective mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does balanced operation work on the Pro-Ject Signature 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's 5-pin DIN output carries a fully balanced phono signal. To use it in balanced mode you need a DIN-to-XLR (or DIN-to-mini-XLR) phono cable, an MC cartridge, and a phono stage with balanced XLR inputs. In balanced mode, any noise introduced along the cable run appears equally on both conductors and is cancelled at the phono stage, lowering the noise floor and improving channel separation versus unbalanced RCA operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage should I pair with the Pro-Ject Signature 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's balanced 5-pin DIN output is best matched with a phono stage that accepts balanced XLR inputs to take full advantage of its low noise floor. At the Signature 10's performance level, phono stages from brands such as Pro-Ject's own Phono Box RS2, Manley Chinook, Lehmann Audio Black Cube Statement, or Pass Labs XP-17 are natural companions. For unbalanced setups, a high-quality RCA phono stage is sufficient but leaves the balanced output's potential unrealized.

Beyond medium-density fibre (MDF) construction — which absorbs resonance — the plinth contains a central gravity point filled with steel pellets. Resonance generated by the bearing, motor, and external environment is drawn toward this central point and dispersed by the pellets' distributed mass effect, where a solid alloy insert would instead create a single resonant frequency. This design also contributes meaningfully to the total mass of the table, reinforcing the inertial isolation of the platform as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrue Balanced Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Xtension 10 Evolution is configured for balanced phono operation via its 5-pin DIN output.

The primary difference is tonearm length: the Xtension 10 uses a 10-inch arm (254mm effective length) while the Xtension 12 uses a 12-inch arm (309.5mm effective length). The longer arm reduces inner-groove geometric distortion but requires more space. The Xtension 10 also supports 78rpm playback. Both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, with the Xtension 10 currently in limited inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pro-Ject Xtension 10 Evolution play 78rpm records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Xtension 10 Evolution supports 33, 45, and 78rpm via electronic speed change. To play 78rpm records you will also need a cartridge with a 78rpm stylus — standard LP styli will damage 78rpm shellac grooves.

Weighing 16kg (35 lbs), it combines two of the most effective approaches to vinyl playback — mass loading and suspended isolation — in a single chassis. Every Xtension 9 Evolution is handmade in Europe, ships with the EVO 9 CC 9\" carbon fiber tonearm, quartz-regulated electronic speed control, an 800g record puck, and a dust cover. \u003cem\u003eAnalog Planet\u003c\/em\u003e singled it out as a turntable that \"invites you to design your own\" — with nine finish options and a full tonearm, cartridge, and phono stage ecosystem available at Vinyl Sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel-Pellet MDF Plinth — Mass Loading Done Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Xtension 9 Evolution's plinth is CNC-machined from high-density MDF — a naturally resonance-absorbing material — and filled at its \u003cstrong\u003ecentral gravity point with steel pellets\u003c\/strong\u003e. Unlike a solid metal insert, which can develop its own resonances, loose steel pellets dissipate vibration energy through dispersion. This draws harmful resonance away from the bearing and tonearm, dramatically reducing the potential for plinth-borne noise to colour the signal. The resulting mass (16kg total) also provides the inertial stability that characterises the best high-end turntable designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOpposing-Magnetic Isolation Feet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main plinth sits on three \u003cstrong\u003eopposing-magnetic isolation feet\u003c\/strong\u003e that physically decouple it from whatever surface the turntable rests on. With opposing magnets in each foot, the entire 16kg plinth effectively floats — combining the noise-rejection of a suspension design with the inertial stability of mass loading. A reviewer who tested the table noted that knocking the support surface caused no stylus skip whatsoever, a direct result of this dual-principle isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTPE-Damped Platter on Inverted Ceramic Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePro-Ject's platter uses a precision aluminum alloy damped with a ring of \u003cstrong\u003ethermoplastic elastomer (TPE)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the underside, topped with a layer of recycled vinyl baked into the surface as an integrated mat. The entire sandwich is precision-balanced before installation. The platter spins on an \u003cstrong\u003einverted ceramic ball-and-plate bearing\u003c\/strong\u003e supported by an additional opposing-magnetic force — the magnetic assist reduces the effective weight on the bearing surface to near zero, eliminating bearing friction and rumble at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuartz-Regulated Electronic Speed Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed accuracy is handled by \u003cstrong\u003equartz-generated electronic regulation\u003c\/strong\u003e with microprocessor control — the same Speed Box technology Pro-Ject uses in their standalone speed control units. Clean, interference-free AC power is generated on-board and fed directly to the synchronous motor, decoupling it from mains noise. Speed variance is held to ±0.09% and wow and flutter to ±0.1%.

Contact Vinyl Sound Toronto for cartridge pairing recommendations matched to the EVO 9 CC tonearm's 8.5g effective mass — moving coil cartridges of low-to-medium compliance are ideal, and balanced operation requires an MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the advantage of the steel-pellet-filled plinth over a solid metal chassis?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid metal insert can develop its own resonant frequency and ring. Loose steel pellets, by contrast, dissipate vibrational energy through movement and friction between individual pellets — a dispersion effect that converts mechanical energy to heat rather than allowing it to resonate. Pro-Ject uses this same approach across their RPM 9, RPM 10, and Signature series plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does balanced operation improve sound on the Xtension 9 Evolution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn balanced mode, the phono signal travels from the tonearm through the cable as a differential pair. Any noise picked up along the cable length is common to both conductors and cancelled at the balanced input of the phono stage — a process called common-mode rejection. The result is a lower noise floor, improved channel separation, and greater dynamic range. You need an MC cartridge, a balanced DIN cable, and a phono stage with balanced inputs to use this feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the tonearm on the Xtension 9 Evolution be upgraded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Xtension 9 Evolution accepts drop-in tonearm upgrades with no soldering required. Options include the EVO 9 CA Premium (carbon\/aluminum armtube, silver tonearm wire, upgraded bearings, TPE-damped counterweight), and the EVO AS and EVO AS Premium curved arms with replaceable headshells — ideal for cartridge collectors. Contact Vinyl Sound Toronto for upgrade pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage is recommended for the Xtension 9 Evolution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor unbalanced use, any quality MM\/MC phono stage is compatible. To take full advantage of the balanced 5-pin DIN output, you need a phono stage with balanced XLR phono inputs — such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box RS or RS2.

Applying mass loading and magnetic suspension simultaneously — a combination rarely found outside cost-no-object analog design — the Xtension 12 Evolution combines a 25 kg metal-granulate-filled plinth, height-adjustable magnetic isolation feet, Sorbothane-damped sandwich platter, and magnetically supported inverted bearing with an interchangeable Sorbothane-isolated armboard.

The Xtension 12 Evolution applies both. The plinth is filled with metal granulate that draws resonance energy away from the surface and disperses it, providing the inertial stability of a mass-loaded design without a single concentrated resonant frequency. The plinth then sits on height-adjustable magnetic isolation feet that float the entire 25 kg structure above the surface, mechanically decoupling it from floor and rack vibration. The tonearm base is further isolated from the main plinth board by a Sorbothane sheet, and is interchangeable to accept third-party 9 to 12-inch tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e12-Inch Tonearm on a Sandwich Platter and Inverted Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platter is machined from a special aluminum alloy, damped on the inner face with Sorbothane, and bonded to a top layer of recycled vinyl records. This sandwich assembly is baked and then precision-balanced, yielding a heavy, resonance-free platter with virtually no inherent ring. The platter spins on an inverted Type Block 1 bearing with a ceramic thrust-pad and magnetic support, which reduces the effective weight load on the ceramic ball and eliminates bearing-contact noise. The included 12cc EVO tonearm features a 12-inch carbon-fiber and aluminum tube: the longer geometry reduces inner-groove tracking error compared to 9-inch arms, which benefits complex orchestral and jazz recordings where geometric distortion accumulates toward the center.

The difference is tonearm length: the Xtension 12 ships with a 12-inch arm (309.5mm effective length) versus the 10cc EVO's 10-inch arm. The longer arm reduces inner-groove tracking error and can be an advantage with certain low-compliance MC cartridges, but requires a larger footprint. The Xtension 10 is more accommodating for tight shelf or rack spaces.

The Debut Carbon EVO refines every element of the original Debut Carbon: a new motor suspension design using TPE damping borrowed from higher-tier Pro-Ject tables, three height-adjustable heavy-duty aluminum feet replacing the fixed rubber feet, a 1.7kg steel platter with an internal TPE damping ring that eliminates metal-platter ringing and adds rotational stability via the flywheel effect, and electronic speed change covering 33, 45, and 78rpm via a rocker switch on the underside of the plinth. The proven 8.6-inch one-piece carbon fiber tonearm — the component that gave the Debut Carbon its name — ships with the Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet cartridge factory-aligned and ready to play.

First, the motor suspension: the EVO uses a new TPE-based motor mount that reduces motor-born vibration reaching the platter and tonearm more effectively than the spring-based suspensions of earlier models. Second, the feet: three height-adjustable aluminum feet replace fixed non-adjustable rubber feet, allowing the platter to be leveled precisely on any surface — a critical factor for tonearm geometry and anti-skating accuracy. Third, the platter: the 1.7kg steel platter now includes a TPE ring on the inner underside rim, damping the steel resonance that was audible on the original Debut Carbon's uncoated platter. The speed control rocker switch has been moved to the underside of the plinth for a clean, button-free top surface. The 8.6-inch carbon fiber armtube remains unchanged — the same design that made the original Debut Carbon a benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":561,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":561}'\u003e8.6-Inch Carbon Fiber Tonearm and Ortofon 2M Red\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":601,\"w\":560,\"h\":176,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":601}'\u003eThe Debut Carbon EVO's one-piece carbon fiber armtube integrates the headshell and armtube as a single component, eliminating the resonance introduced at a separate headshell joint. Carbon fiber is significantly stiffer and lighter than aluminum at equivalent wall thickness, allowing the arm to track the record groove with lower inertia and greater responsiveness to stylus micro-movements. The Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet cartridge is factory pre-aligned with the correct overhang and tracking force set for immediate use. Gold-plated RCA output sockets allow the phono cable to be upgraded independently from the turntable.

On top of omitting Op-Amps, the selected polystyrene capacitors (known among audiophiles as the ‘holy grail’ for phono preamplifiers) significantly contribute to the clean, clear, detail-oriented sonics that S2 Ultra delivers.

We’ve packed this tiny chassis to the brim with high-end features. One of those is our new True Balanced Connection. At Pro-Ject, balanced connections were exclusive to our RS range of products until now. The Phono Box S3 B brings those features to an incredible new entry level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrue High-End For the New Entry-Level\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Phono Box S3 B comes in complete new casework. The bigger size enabled us to bring a completely new feature set that was never seen before in this price range. The new steel \u0026amp; aluminium case also offers very high rigidity and isolation against outside interferences, which is essential for the new technology inside. Connect up to two turntables simultaneously – all parameters for each input get stored in the memory. You can perfectly match the Phono Box S3 B to a wide variety of cartridges. Use the gain setting to accurately match the output to other sources like CD players or streaming devices. Ultra-low values like 50 pF or 10 ohms allow you to account for all situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced By Nature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartridges are balanced signal transducers by nature!

Together with our new True Balanced Connection cables you'll be able to access high-end features that were previously only available on the most expensive of phono stages.

A discrete circuit is composed of disparate electronic components, and individual devices. The amplifier section is built of single parts and doesn‘t use any integrated circuits! That makes for an extended and more costly design process but results in the best sound quality. The fully symmetrical gain stage can optimize the signal-to-noise ratios, feeding the semi-passive, RIAA equalisation stage with a clean signal to work on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold mb-4 text-xl\"\u003eTRUE BALANCED CONNECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-medium\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symmetrical design is the fundamental standout feature!

These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. Countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid. Standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, but discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended and more costly design process, but results in the best sound for your money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box RS2 employs a true fully balanced design principle. Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +\/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission. In a true, fully balanced amplifier, like the Phono Box RS2, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSplit passive EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box RS2 uses split passive equalization for both of its RIAA and DECA curves.

The s-shaped geometry accommodates heavier cartridges that a straight arm at the same effective mass may struggle with. The SME-type headshell connection allows cartridge and headshell to be swapped without tools or re-alignment: remove the integrated Pick it S2 C assembly, install an alternative, and adjust tracking force. VTA is adjustable via two grub screws at the rear of the armboard; azimuth via a single grub screw at the gimbal bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced Mini XLR Output and 300mm Aluminum Platter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the standard RCA\/ground output, the Debut PRO S adds a mini XLR balanced output that enables common-mode noise cancellation when paired with a balanced phono stage — the same signal advantage used in professional recording.

The table ships with a premium semi-symmetrical RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use.

B: a 10-inch s-shaped tonearm (vs 8.6-inch on the PRO B) and a balanced mini XLR output in addition to the standard RCA connection. The PRO S also ships with the Pick it S2 C integrated cartridge-and-headshell rather than the Pick it PRO Balanced. Both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the SME-type headshell connection on the Debut PRO S useful?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SME-type headshell allows the entire cartridge-and-headshell assembly to be removed and replaced without tools or re-alignment. This makes experimenting with alternative cartridges faster and easier than on tonearms with standard half-inch mount connections requiring individual cartridge installation and alignment. The Pick it S2 C ships pre-mounted and factory-aligned for immediate use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I look for when choosing a mid-range Pro-Ject turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Debut PRO S level, the key differentiators versus lower-tier models are tonearm length and construction (10\" vs 8.6\"), platter material and mass (1.7kg aluminum with TPE damping), balanced output availability, and whether the cartridge is factory-aligned for plug-and-play use. The Debut PRO S delivers all of these in a single package. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for help comparing the PRO S against adjacent models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich accessories would enhance listening on the Pro-Ject Debut PRO S?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRO S ships with the Pick it S2 C, semi-symmetrical RCA cable, dustcover, 78rpm belt, and 7-inch adapter. The most impactful upgrades are: (1) a balanced mini XLR cable and compatible phono stage for balanced operation; (2) a higher-performance replacement cartridge via the SME headshell connection; and (3) a record cleaning kit to protect the elliptical stylus. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for a system-matched recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage should I pair with the Pro-Ject Debut PRO S?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pick it S2 C requires a standard MM phono stage (47kΩ, 200–600pF). To use balanced operation, pair the mini XLR output with the Phono Box S3 B, DS3 B, Tube Box DS3 B, or RS2.

The CNC-machined plinth (available in gloss black, satin white, or satin walnut laminates) uses no plastic and is engineered to eliminate resonant hollow spaces that degrade sound quality. The heavy 8mm blasted-glass platter resists resonance far more effectively than plastic or thin-steel alternatives, while purpose-selected isolation feet decouple the turntable from ambient vibrations. Unlike the T1 Evo Phono, the T1 Evo does not include a built-in preamp, delivering a pure phono-level signal to a dedicated MM phono stage or a receiver with a phono input. The Pro-Ject T1 Evo is available at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pro-ject\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":166,\"w\":556,\"h\":38,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":428}'\u003eVinyl Sound\u003c\/a\u003e, an authorized Pro-Ject dealer in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":221,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":483}'\u003eAudiophile Engineering at an Entry Price\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":261,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":523}'\u003eThe T1 Evo's motor drives a belt attached to a Debut-sized sub-platter, which rotates in a bearing assembly machined to tolerances within 0.001mm using a stainless steel spindle in a brass bushing. This drive system delivers stable, accurate platter speeds with non-resonant behavior, giving the tonearm and cartridge the best possible foundation at this price point. The 8.6\" one-piece aluminum tonearm integrates headshell and armtube for rigidity and resonance control, with high-quality bearings enabling silent, frictionless arm motion. The pre-installed Ortofon OM10 cartridge arrives factory-aligned, with tracking force set at 1.75g and anti-skating built-in, minimizing setup requirements out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":434,\"w\":560,\"h\":58,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":696}'\u003ePure Phono Output and the External Phono Stage Advantage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":503,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":765}'\u003eThe T1 Evo outputs a standard phono-level signal, which requires amplification by a dedicated MM phono stage or by a receiver or integrated amplifier with a built-in phono input. For users who already own a phono-capable amplifier, or who prefer to invest in a quality standalone phono stage, the T1 Evo's signal path contains no onboard preamp circuitry. Entry-level options such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box E pair naturally with the OM10, while stepping up to the Phono Box S3 or DS2 reveals more of what the glass platter and 8.6\" aluminum tonearm can deliver.

The CNC-machined plinth (available in gloss black, satin white, or satin walnut laminates) uses no plastic and is engineered to eliminate resonant hollow spaces that degrade sound quality. The heavy 8mm blasted-glass platter resists resonance far more effectively than plastic or thin-steel alternatives, while purpose-selected isolation feet decouple the turntable from ambient vibrations. A built-in switchable MM phono preamp means the T1 Evo Phono plugs directly into any receiver or integrated amplifier's AUX or line-level input, with the option to bypass the preamp when a dedicated external phono stage is preferred.

This drive system ensures stable, accurate platter speeds with non-resonant behavior, giving the tonearm and cartridge the best possible foundation at this price point. The 8.6\" one-piece aluminum tonearm integrates headshell and armtube for rigidity and resonance control, with high-quality bearings enabling silent, frictionless arm motion. The pre-installed Ortofon OM10 cartridge features an elliptical diamond stylus and arrives factory-aligned, with tracking force set at 1.75g and anti-skating built-in.

For users who wish to upgrade to a dedicated external phono stage later, the built-in preamp can be switched off, converting the output to standard phono level.

For users who plan to upgrade to an external phono stage as a next step, the T2 Rainier provides the more flexible path: the T2 Super Phono's built-in preamp must be bypassed for external stage use, whereas the T2 Rainier connects to any external phono stage directly with no switching required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-aligned Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge (included, $149 value)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnlarged CNC-machined plinth — no plastic, no resonant hollow spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10mm, 1.7 kg zero-resonance tempered glass platter with felt mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel spindle in bronze bushing (0.001mm tolerance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-inch one-piece aluminum tonearm with integrated headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring-based anti-skating — fast setup, no hanging weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel-plated counterweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically regulated AC motor — 33\/45rpm speed change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced-capable RCA\/ground output (semi-symmetrical wiring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-symmetrical phono cable with gold-plated connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration-absorbing isolation feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrylic dustcover with adjustable hinges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in gloss black, satin white, or walnut laminate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 \/ 45 rpm (electronic speed change)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt drive, sub-platter design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed variance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6% (33rpm);

It adds a high-quality internal phono stage to the T2 platform — the same circuit design first introduced in the T2 W — allowing the table to connect directly to any amplifier line input without an external phono stage. The factory-aligned Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge is included ($149 value), making this a complete plug-and-play analog playback system.

The enlarged plinth compared to the T1 provides space for the higher-quality circuit components, resulting in measurably lower noise and better RIAA equalization accuracy than cheaper integrated preamp designs. The circuit is engaged by default but disengages with the push of a button when an external phono stage is preferred. This future-proofs the T2 Super Phono: as the user upgrades to a better external preamp or an MC cartridge, the internal stage can be bypassed without any modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e9-Inch Tonearm, Glass Platter, and Sumiko Rainier Cartridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9-inch one-piece aluminum tonearm features an improved low-friction bearing calibrated for the longer 9-inch geometry, with an integrated headshell that minimizes armtube resonance at the headshell joint.

Both share the same 9-inch tonearm, glass platter, Sumiko Rainier cartridge, and electronics. The T2 Super Phono is the right choice if your amplifier lacks a phono input; the T2 Rainier is the right choice if you plan to use a dedicated external phono stage. Both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the T2 Super Phono without an external phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The built-in dual-stage split-passive MM phono preamplifier allows the T2 Super Phono to connect directly to any amplifier line input (AUX, CD, Tape, etc.) without an external phono stage. The internal preamp can be bypassed when upgrading to an external phono stage or an MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I look for when buying a Pro-Ject turntable on a budget?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the T2 Super Phono's level, the key features are motor regulation (electronically controlled AC motor vs unregulated DC), platter quality (tempered glass vs plastic), tonearm length (9-inch provides lower tracking error), and whether a quality cartridge is included. The T2 Super Phono adds an audiophile-grade built-in phono stage, eliminating a separate purchase. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for help comparing T2 Super Phono against the T2 Rainier and T1 Evo range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Sumiko Rainier stylus on the T2 Super Phono be upgraded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Sumiko Rainier cartridge body accepts stylus upgrades to the Olympia, Moonstone, or Wellfleet levels — a simple drop-in swap that meaningfully improves resolution without purchasing a new cartridge. Contact Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada for Sumiko stylus upgrade availability and recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich accessories would enhance listening on the T2 Super Phono?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T2 Super Phono ships complete with the Sumiko Rainier, semi-symmetrical RCA cable, acrylic dustcover, felt mat, and 45rpm adapter. The most impactful upgrades are a Sumiko stylus upgrade (Olympia or Moonstone) and a record cleaning kit.

It updates the Debut Carbon EVO with three platform improvements: a 1.7kg CNC-machined aluminum platter with TPE damping ring (eliminating the magnetic interaction risk of the previous steel platter with MC cartridges), a heavier nickel-plated aluminum tonearm bearing block borrowed from the Debut PRO B, and a TPE-damped counterweight. The included Pick it MM EVO is a new moving magnet cartridge developed in collaboration with Ortofon, optimized for the Debut EVO 2's specific platter and arm combination. Electronic speed change covers 33 and 45rpm; the balanced-capable RCA outputs can be run in balanced mode with an RCA-to-mini-XLR cable and a compatible phono stage.

The 1.7kg aluminum platter is CNC-machined and precision-balanced with a TPE ring machined into the underside rim, which both damps metal-platter resonance and increases rotational stability via the flywheel effect. The new bearing block — the same design as used on the Debut PRO B — adds mass that pulls unwanted resonance away from the armtube and provides a more stable tonearm pivot. A TPE-damped counterweight further reduces armtube resonance at the stub interface. Adaptive anti-skating adjusts automatically as groove conditions change from outer to inner groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":541,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":618,\"abs_y\":802}'\u003ePick it MM EVO Cartridge and Balanced-Capable Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":581,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":618,\"abs_y\":842}'\u003eThe Pick it MM EVO is a moving magnet cartridge developed specifically for the Debut EVO 2's sonic signature, voiced in collaboration with Ortofon for immediacy and dynamic impact.

It brings the Pick it PRO Balanced — the first balanced-capable moving magnet cartridge — together with a balanced mini XLR output and an 8.6-inch one-piece carbon\/aluminum armtube on the Debut PRO platform. An internal DC\/AC generator powers the AC motor via a regenerated sine wave for stable electronic 33\/45rpm speed change, with 78rpm available via the included round belt. The 1.7kg die-cast aluminum platter with TPE damping ring provides high rotational mass and eliminates metal-platter resonance. An 8-coat satin black hand-painted MDF chassis with nickel-plated aluminum components gives the PRO B a minimalist, tool-free aesthetic.

The nickel-plated aluminum bearing block adds mass that draws resonance away from the armtube and provides a more stable pivot anchor than lighter bearing assemblies. Both VTA and azimuth are adjustable: tonearm height via two grub screws at the rear collar, azimuth via a single grub screw at the gimbal. The Pick it PRO Balanced MM cartridge is pre-adjusted at the factory; its re-routed grounding produces a symmetrical signal that enables common-mode noise cancellation when the mini XLR output is connected to a compatible balanced phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":502,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":502}'\u003eBalanced Mini XLR Output and DC\/AC Generator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":542,\"w\":560,\"h\":156,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":542}'\u003eThe Debut PRO B provides a balanced mini XLR output alongside the standard RCA\/ground connection.

The table ships with a Connect it Phono E RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use; balanced cables are sold separately.

Developed in collaboration with AC\/DC, the turntable takes its visual identity directly from the band's lightning bolt logo — a design that inspired both the plinth artwork and a completely new tonearm geometry unique to this edition. The heavy glass platter sits on a precision acrylic sub-platter with red LED illumination that glows beneath the record surface, while the AC motor drives the platter via a flat silicon belt.

The MDF plinth is finished with the band's iconic lightning bolt artwork, and the acrylic sub-platter is fitted with red LED lighting that illuminates the platter bearing assembly from below — a reference to the band's electrified stage presence that also serves as a functional indicator of the turntable's power state.

The sub-platter's acrylic construction is visible through the glass platter, lit from below by the red LED array.

A balanced 5-pin DIN output connects to compatible phono stages via DIN-to-mini-XLR or DIN-to-XLR cables.

The XA-B uses an acoustically inert transparent acrylic chassis as the main structure, resting on three height-adjustable TPE-damped metal feet. Three feet rather than four allows precise leveling on uneven surfaces — a critical parameter for tonearm geometry and cartridge tracking. The power circuit goes further than a standard outboard supply: DC from the wall adapter is fed to an internal DC\/AC generator, which creates an entirely new clean sine wave to drive the AC motor. This regenerated waveform eliminates the noise and voltage fluctuation of mains AC, providing consistently stable motor drive. An optional Power Box S3 Phono can supply both the turntable (15V) and a Pro-Ject phono stage (18V) simultaneously from a single unit with enhanced DC filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":473,\"w\":603,\"h\":58,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":473}'\u003e10-Inch Aluminum Tonearm and Pick it PRO Balanced Cartridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":542,\"w\":603,\"h\":235,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":542}'\u003eThe XA-B's tonearm is a 10-inch one-piece aluminum tube — longer than the 9-inch arms used on the X1 B and X2 B, reducing tracing error across the record surface. Aluminum is specified over carbon fiber specifically for its resonance pairing with the acrylic plinth: critical listening and measurement showed that acrylic can over-damp sonics when combined with a carbon armtube; aluminum provides a livelier, more dynamically present result. The cardanic bearing uses four stainless steel pinpoint contacts in an ultra-low-friction assembly, ensuring the tonearm moves without play or resistance. Adaptive anti-skating adjusts automatically as groove conditions change across a record side. A TPE-damped counterweight reduces armtube resonance at the counterweight-to-stub interface. Full VTA, azimuth, tracking force, and anti-skating adjustment are available. The Pick it PRO Balanced is a re-engineered version of the Pick it PRO MM cartridge with a re-routed ground that creates a symmetrical differential signal — enabling +6dB noise cancellation gain when used with a balanced phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":793,\"w\":603,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":793}'\u003eBalanced 5-Pin DIN Output and 1.7kg Aluminum Platter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":833,\"w\":603,\"h\":215,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":833}'\u003eThe XA-B's 5-pin DIN balanced output connects to phono stages with mini XLR or XLR balanced inputs via the appropriate cable (sold separately). Compatible Pro-Ject phono stages include the Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, Tube Box DS3 B, and Phono Box RS2. In balanced mode the common-mode noise on both phono cable conductors is cancelled at the phono stage input, producing a substantially lower noise floor and better channel separation than unbalanced operation — a particularly meaningful improvement at low cartridge output levels. The table ships with a Connect it Phono E 5P-to-RCA cable for immediate unbalanced use. The 1.7kg die-cast aluminum platter is precision-balanced after casting and fitted with a TPE damping ring on the underside, which mutes metal-platter resonance and increases rotational inertia for the flywheel effect.

internal grounding is re-routed to generate a symmetrical differential signal — the same principle used in balanced microphone wiring. Standard MM cartridges send an unbalanced signal; the Pick it PRO Balanced sends opposite-polarity signals on each conductor so that when they arrive at a balanced phono stage, any noise accumulated on the cable is cancelled. The practical result is approximately +6dB of usable gain with a substantially lower noise floor versus unbalanced operation with an equivalent MM cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":2274,\"w\":603,\"h\":45,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":2274}'\u003eWhich phono stages are compatible with the Pro-Ject XA-B's balanced output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":2331,\"w\":603,\"h\":117,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":2331}'\u003eThe XA-B's balanced 5-pin DIN output requires a DIN-to-mini-XLR or DIN-to-XLR cable and a phono stage with balanced mini XLR or XLR inputs.

The XA-B's internal DC\/AC generator converts the DC input from the outboard supply into a newly generated AC sine wave before it reaches the motor. This regenerated waveform is completely decoupled from mains noise and voltage variation, providing consistent motor speed regardless of what is happening on the electrical circuit. The result is more stable platter speed and lower background noise, particularly audible on sustained piano notes and orchestral strings.

Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced gain stage can now extract the final musical information out of the +\/- signals and subtract the hum and noise picked up during the transmission. This is the same concept used with every microphone in every professional recording studio worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiscrete Circuitry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box DS3 B uses fully discrete audio circuitry composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices (also called discrete components). Countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be as neutral, natural, dynamic nor vivid as we’d prefer. This discrete circuitry is designed in a full dual mono configuration for optimal channel separation and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePassive EQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter treating the balanced signals they are added back together and processed by the fully passive and discrete RIAA equalization stage. By keeping the gain stage fully symmetrical we can optimize the signal to noise ratio, giving the EQ section the best source to work its magic on. Fully split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal RIAA curve. For the balanced XLR outputs, a discrete balancing stage generates a symmetrical signal, so you benefit from balanced signal transmissions again. The single ended RCA outputs run their own fully discrete output stage, served directly by the RIAA EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCartridge Loading Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can connect two turntables at the same time, one balanced, one single ended.

The outer carbon layer provides maximum rigidity and keeps the arm light, while the inner aluminium tube actively dissipates resonances before they can reach the cartridge. This construction results in higher tracking accuracy, reduced inner-groove distortion, and improved overall clarity compared to shorter or single-material arms. The arm sits in a zero-tolerance bearing block machined from solid aluminium with a TPE-damped counterweight, high-purity internal wiring, and an adaptive anti-skating mechanism. Both azimuth and vertical tracking angle (VTA) are fully adjustable by loosening two grub screws, allowing precise alignment for any cartridge or platter mat combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Debut Reference 10 ships pre-fitted with the Pick it PRO Balanced moving-magnet cartridge, a redesigned version of the Pick it PRO with a dedicated True Balanced signal circuit.

Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 is a premium belt-drive turntable from Pro-Ject Audio Systems of Vienna, Austria, and is the flagship model of the long-running Debut series. It features a 10-inch hybrid carbon-aluminium tonearm, a 300mm acrylic platter, electronic speed control for 33 and 45 RPM, and a factory-fitted Pick it PRO Balanced moving-magnet cartridge with True Balanced mini-XLR output. Handmade in Europe, it is designed to deliver fully audiophile vinyl replay without the complexity or footprint of much larger turntable designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Debut Reference 10 compare to the Rega Planar 3 or Technics SL-1500C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 occupies a similar performance tier to the Rega Planar 3 and Technics SL-1500C but offers several differentiating advantages. Unlike the Rega Planar 3, the Debut Reference 10 includes a longer 10-inch tonearm, which reduces inner-groove distortion and tracking error across the record surface. Unlike the Technics SL-1500C's direct-drive motor, the Debut Reference 10 uses a fully decoupled belt-drive with a clean-sine-wave DC\/AC power generator for quieter mechanical operation. It also uniquely provides a True Balanced mini-XLR output alongside the standard RCA phono connection, a feature found on very few turntables at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Debut Reference 10 play 78 RPM records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Debut Reference 10 supports 78 RPM playback. The deck comes with a separate round belt that replaces the standard flat belt. Fitting the round belt to the motor pulley engages the higher speed needed for 78 RPM records. A suitable 78 RPM stylus or cartridge is recommended for best results with shellac records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is True Balanced connection and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue Balanced connection is a signal transmission method where the audio signal travels on two conductors in opposite polarity, with any noise or interference picked up along the cable cancelled out when the signal is recombined at the preamplifier. The Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge in the Debut Reference 10 is specifically designed to generate a balanced output from the stylus, allowing the signal to be carried through a mini-XLR cable to a compatible balanced phono preamplifier such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B. The result is a noticeably quieter noise floor and greater dynamic range, especially in systems with longer cable runs or other sources of electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Pro-Ject Audio Systems dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound serves customers across Canada and offers expert guidance on turntable setup, cartridge alignment, and system matching for the Debut Reference 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono preamplifier should I pair with the Debut Reference 10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo take full advantage of the True Balanced mini-XLR output, the Debut Reference 10 should be paired with a balanced-compatible phono preamplifier such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box S3 B, Phono Box DS3 B, or Tube Box DS3 B. These preamplifiers are designed to accept the balanced signal from the Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge and reject common-mode noise throughout the signal chain. For standard RCA connection, any quality phono preamplifier with a moving-magnet input will work with the turntable's second RCA output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Debut Reference 10 suitable for beginners or is it aimed at experienced audiophiles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro-Ject Debut Reference 10 is best suited to listeners who are ready to move into serious vinyl replay and want a turntable that can grow with their system. It arrives with the cartridge pre-installed and aligned, making initial setup straightforward, but its adjustable VTA, azimuth, and anti-skating controls offer the level of fine-tuning that more experienced audiophiles expect. It bridges the gap between accessible hi-fi and high-end analogue performance, and the availability of expert support at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, makes setup assistance easy to access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I upgrade the cartridge on the Debut Reference 10 in the future?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Debut Reference 10 is designed to accept cartridge upgrades. The 10-inch carbon-aluminium tonearm has an effective mass of 16.6g, which is well suited to a wide range of moving-magnet and low-compliance moving-coil cartridges. The adjustable VTA and azimuth allow precise alignment when fitting a new cartridge, and the tonearm's high-purity internal wiring and adaptive anti-skating mechanism ensure optimal performance across a broad range of cartridge options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49040108749052,"sku":"PJ37902389","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/Pro-JectDebutReference10_PickItPROB_-SatinBlack.png?v=1777518110"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-debut-reference-12-turntable","title":"Pro-Ject Debut Reference 12 Turntable","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePro-Ject Debut Reference 12 Turntable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebut Reference 12 is the flagship of Pro-Ject's Debut series, hand-built in Europe with a 12\" one-piece carbon-aluminium hybrid tonearm and a pre-adjusted Pick it PRO Balanced cartridge for True Balanced signal transmission via a Mini-XLR phono output.

Each platter is reworked and precision-balanced in an extra step for even, stable rotation. The added mass maintains consistent speed and minimises unwanted vibration and resonance, letting the stylus track with greater accuracy for improved rotational stability and acoustic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium pre-fitted Pick it MM E cartridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge is one of the most sonically critical parts of a turntable, turning the record's grooves into an electrical signal. The pre-fitted Pick it MM E uses a low-mass system built around a miniature neodymium generator magnet; the lower inertia clearly improves tracking accuracy. Its conical diamond tip delivers a warm, smooth sound with low background noise, and the highly damped ABS body reduces vibration-induced colouration to a vanishing level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecision tonearm and craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm is expertly adjusted at the factory and ready to play with no tools or guesswork. A heavy-mass gimbal design with a zero-play precision bearing system gives solid tracking and smooth, stable movement, while a carbon-reinforced, super-stiff headshell reduces vibration and an oversized-diameter counterweight placed closer to the moving parts improves balance, detail, and bass. The plinth is CNC-machined from rigid composite fibre with no hollow spaces inside for a solid, resonance-resistant foundation, finished in high-gloss black or walnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt-drive turntable with pre-fitted cartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePro-Ject Pick it MM E (moving magnet, conical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 \/ 45 RPM (electronic speed change)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt drive with electronic speed control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e730g die-cast aluminium, precision-balanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatter bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel axle in bronze bushing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTonearm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.6 in aluminium, effective length 218.5 mm \/ mass 7.0 g, carbon-reinforced headshell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverhang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWow and flutter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33: +\/-0.23%; 45: +\/-0.21%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal to noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamped DC motor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15V DC 0.8A power supply, acrylic dust cover, 7-inch single adapter, phono cables (1.23 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e420 x 112 x 330 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-gloss black, walnut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years (Pro-Ject, managed by Gentec in Canada)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEurope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Pro-Ject E1.2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pro-Ject E1.2 is a hand-made-in-Europe belt-drive turntable and the next generation of the E-Line.
