It’s a musically convincing presentation, one where each instrument dovetails beautifully to add to the experience. The accompanying piano is rendered with precision and a lovely sense of ebb and flow that simply carries us away with the music. On the opening track – Into My Arms – it captures the song’s melancholy mood superbly, delivering Cave’s rich and gritty tones with an enviable degree of finesse. We start off with The Boatman’s Call from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and the Debut Pro reproduces the album with considerable skill. Once up and running it delivers an impressively crisp and detailed sound for the money. Regardless, the Debut Pro performs superbly. We use the deck in a range of systems from our reference set-up of Cyrus Phono Signature/PSX-R 2 phono stage, Burmester 088/911 Mk III amplifier and ATC SCM 50 speakers to a more modest pairing of Naim SuperNait 3 and the LS50 Meta speakers from KEF. If you have suspended wooden floors, as many have in the UK, it’s certainly worth thinking about having a dedicated wall shelf. Make sure you replace the standard flat rubber belt with the supplied round-section one if you do this.Īs with most turntables at this level there isn’t much in the way of suspension, so placing the Debut Pro on a level, rigid and low resonance support is important to get the best results. There’s the standard choice of 33⅓ or 45 RPM at the flick of a nice toggle switch on the front of the deck, and if you fit a supplied adaptor, it’ll even play 78 RPM records. It feels so much slicker to change speed this way rather than having to manually move the drive belt from one step on the motor pulley to the next. We welcome the Debut Pro’s electronic speed change.
