The Debut Line are entry-level to mid-range turntables designed for vinyl enthusiasts. These turntables are known for their high-quality sound, affordability, and ease of use. They come in a variety of colors and feature a belt-driven design, which helps reduce noise and vibrations that can impact sound quality. Some models come with built-in phono preamps, which allow them to be connected directly to powered speakers or other amplifiers without the need for a separate phono preamp.
