Upgrade Your Debut Turntable

Most Debut owners are already aware of Acryl it – a stylish acrylic record platter that elevates the performance of all Debut variants via resonance control. Now you can further upgrade the platter assembly with Pro-Ject’s Debut Alu Sub-Platter – a higher-precision design that adds mass to the drive system, thus delivering improved speed stability and even more resonance control than Acryl it alone. Whether you own the new Debut Carbon EVO, Debut Carbon DC, Esprit, RecordMaster, or even the older Debut III (among others!), your analog system stands to benefit from the Debut Alu Sub-Platter.

Considerations for 78rpm Records

Debut III Phono SB ships with 2 different belts. The flat belt is for 33 & 45rpm discs and is installed on the top/smaller diameter of the motor pulley. The round one is for 78rpm records only. It is designed for use with the larger/bottom pulley diameter with the differently shaped slot. Installing the 78rpm belt incorrectly compromises its integrity and may lead to breakage.

Additionally, please note that it’s also not advisable to play 78rpm records with the 5e stylus. Being an elliptical diamond meant to track the ‘microgrooves’ of 33s & 45s, it will sound poor and cause undue harm to disc (and potentially the cartridge!). Ortofon offers their 78 stylus for this purpose. The stylus will track the grooves properly and reduce the risk of harm to your collection. Keep in mind that OM5e is a stereo MM phono cartridge setup, meaning that its normal job is to unveil 2 channels (left and right) of musical information. When using the 78 styli, what you’ll hear is the one channel of musical information (mono) of the 78 in both stereo channels.
