Pro-Ject Debut USB Turntable
The Debut USB is the same as the Debut III except for its built-in phono preamp with USB and line-level analogue output. The Pro-Ject Debut III is our top-selling budget-friendly turntable. It's dedicated solely to optimizing the sonic reproduction of your records; no bells, no whistles. The sleek and simple design yields a classy appearance and hassle-free operation. Since it's so stripped down, there's very little that can go wrong with it. Another strength is its versatility. It sounds stunning right out of the box, but if you want to tweak it, Pro-Ject's Acryl-It platter and Speedbox MKII are simple, affordable, and effective upgrades. The Debut III can also be outfitted to accommodate 78rpm discs. All you need are a 33/78rpm motor pulley and a 78 stylus for the Ortofon OM5E. Additionally, the stylus can be upgraded in a snap. The Ortofon 20 (nude elliptical), 30 (nude Fineline), and 40 (Gyger line-contact) styli all fit the stock-cartridge. Considering the price, this package is quite possibly the best sonic performer in its class.

"... but the Debut is no slouch; it resolves ambient detail better than affordable CD players and recreates plenty of space and 'air' around cymbals and other high notes...All in all, this is a capable and entertaining deck which gives you more than you've a right to expect at the money. 4 Stars."
