Audiograde - Best Value Turntable 2024
“Frankly, the Evo 2 is one of the most competitively priced HiFi turntable packages I can find on sale right now...With the widest choice of colour options and finishes available from any turntable maker, the new Debut Evo 2 is one of most attractive and best value turntable packages you can buy right now”.
Debut EVO 2 Turntable
At the core of the Colourful Audio System 2 is the Debut EVO 2, a turntable designed for audiophile-level vinyl playback. Built with precision in Europe, it comes factory-fitted with the Pick It MM EVO Cartridge on an 8.6-inch one-piece carbon tonearm, ensuring accurate tracking and minimal resonance. Designed for ease-of-use, it’s ready to play with minimal setup. The heavy, die-cast aluminium platter is TPE-damped for stable rotation, minimising wow and flutter, while electronic speed control ensures precise playback at 33 and 45 RPM. Available in a range of stunning satin colours, the Debut EVO 2 is as visually striking as it is sonically refined.
MaiA S3 Integrated Amplifier
Compact yet powerful, the MaiA S3 serves as the control hub of the system, offering analogue and digital versatility. With eight inputs, including a dedicated phono stage, coaxial and optical digital inputs, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, this amplifier is ready for turntables, CD players, TVs, and wireless streaming. The Texas Instruments power amplifier delivers detailed and dynamic audio, while the built-in Cirrus Logic DAC ensures high-resolution playback up to 24-bit/192kHz. A 6.3mm headphone output lets you enjoy private listening, while the subwoofer output provides an easy path for future system expansion and lets you fill the room with sound.
Speaker Box 5 S2 Bookshelf Speakers
To complete the system, Pro-Ject includes the Speaker Box 5 S2, delivering dynamic sound in a compact design. A 25mm silk-dome tweeter ensures detailed highs, while a 130mm fibreglass woofer produces full-bodied mids and good bass for their size. To further enhance performance, Pro-Ject includes these essential accessories: a pair of three-metre Connect-it LS E Speaker Cables for out-of-the-box setup, Damp-it Isolation Feet to minimise unwanted resonance, and acoustically transparent grilles that protect the drivers without radically diminishing sound quality. Designed and handmade in Europe, these speakers deliver a polished look and quality performance.
