Pro-Ject’s Debut III S Audiophile looks a bit different

Introduced in the late 1990s, Pro-Ject’s Debut turntable has been going for nearly as long as Liam Gallagher’s swagger. And like the tambourine-whacking frontman’s barnet, it is forever evolving. The latest model, the Debut III S Audiophile is the first in its line to swap a straight tonearm for an S-shape arm. It looks great. That’s not it for the new additions, though. The turntable is the first to sport Pro-Ject’s exclusive new Ortofon cartridge, as well as brand new aluminum isolation feet and – the big one – the company’s boxfresh new “P” logo. Otherwise, you’ll no doubt recognise the tried and tested belt-drive motor, AC generator and 12” platter assembly, all of which appeared on the Debut Carbon. The III S Audiophile is available in either glossy black or white, and you can pick one up right now for £325.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
