Our goals

THE DEBUT SIGNATURE SERIES:AN 18 YEAR LEGACY OF PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY

Isolating the turntable from the listening environment is crucial foryou to really hear the music on the record. Any less than totalisolation reduces your turntable to an expensive tone control, withthe sound becoming colored by feedback.

The Debut corner assembly is far more than a beautiful accentpiece. Inside, it houses the ultimate turntable suspension . Thishydraulically damped system gives the Debut the utmost isolation,and is totally maintenance-free . The results: a deep, “blackbackground” and true tonality, the hallmarks of great analogsound.

We all know the need for thick, heavy records: they resonate lessduring play, giving you far better sound . The Basis SignatureVacuum System allows you to forget all about 200 gramrecords.Who Cares? Your Debut Vacuum turns every record intoa ten thousand gram record! The vacuum system fully coupleseach record to the dead-flat, massive platter, eliminating theproblem of record resonance.

Dynamics, imaging, musicality, bass power, and tracking abilityare all improved over the proven levels of the standard Debut.
