FULL STORY ======================================================================

Having seemingly taken reference from Jony Ives design look book,Pro-Ject has unveiled an all-white limited-edition version of its mid-range Debut PRO turntable.

The Austrian companys original version of the Debut Pro was released last
year as a successor to their audiophile-friendly Pro-ject Debut Carbon Evo .

As with the original, the limited-edition Debut PRO boastsa precision aluminium platter complete with TPE damping andheight-adjustable metal feet.

Aside from the clean-as-a-whistle finish, the only major difference in spec
to the satin black original model is a pre-installed Ortofons 2M White cartridge in place of the 2M Red.

As well as preinstalling the cartridge, Pro-Ject also bundles in a dust cover and a Pro-Ject Connect-IT E phono cable.

The limited-edition Pro-Ject Debut PRO goes on sale later this month and is set to cost 699 in the UK and 799 in Europe.The original cost $999 in the US, so we'd expect the same for this version. (Image credit: Pro-Ject) Opinion: Debut Pro is all white with its retro Apple feels

While Pro-ject may be celebrating its 90s formation with this limited-run wheels of steel, theres definitely a touch of 00s tech chic with that finish.

The minimalist design has us tempted to pair it up with the ill-fated AppleiPod Hi-Fi , but lets be honest this turntable deserves better than being rigged up to that boomy mess.

The original Debut Pro is a superb piece of kit, deliveringa stable and controlled sound, and this fresh new look certainly gets our aesthetic seal
of approval. It's one thing for the best turntables to go for a bold color look it's a totally different matter for one to be literally all that color, tonearm and all. We'd happily have this around just a tech objet d'art, but that would be wasting its music potential.
