I purchased this to transfer some old albums I had sitting around onto my hard drive based music system and it certainly seems to do the job well. I read a lot of reviews before I purchased and could not decide between the Project III Usb or a separate turntable and pre amp. In the end I elected for this all in one solution which seemed to provide decent sound quality for a reasonable price.

It arrived in perfect condition from the supplier within three working days as promised.

I have no experience of setting up a turntable but with the aid of the instructions and a video on YouTube I managed to get the job done. Hooking it up to my PC was more complex that expected. I had the choice of either USB or phono cable into the sound card. I have no idea which will provide better sound quality but there is huge difference in input volume between the two on the Windows Sound mixer. I have elected to use the USB cable at the moment. What is very clear is that anyone else considering transferring a large number of albums should beware unless they have endless time to spare. Setting recording levels to avoid distortion, recording the albums in real time, splitting & tagging the songs and removing surface noise from the recording all takes time. I have used Audacity to record a few records and edited with a number of other programmes and the process just takes ages. Transferring should probably be done on the few cherished albums that cannot be purchased elsewhere on CD. As for the results, it really depends on a large number of factors. I have some ropey 80's album on seemingly very thin vinyl which sound OK. I have some 60's albums on much thicker vinyl which seem better quality and produce a much better recording.

Like the previous reviewer I bought this turntable (direct from the UK Pro-ject distributor) to copy a lot of vinyl LPs to digital format. Many of these are not available in CD format so I wanted to get a good quality turntable to do the job. Since I bought this one in spring 2009 I have transferred a good number of LPs - rediscovering my music of the 70s and 80s.

I'd looked at all the usual sub £150 suspects and found the reviews conflicting on many of them - some looked like they'd been designed for use on the Mars space mission. Whereas the Pro-Ject seemd to be designed by audiophiles for audiophiles!

The kit: Good solid turntable base, simple to set up (easy to follow instructions), once set up there's only the on/off switch! (unless you need to change from 33.3 to 45 rpm - which involves the belt). This is not a turntable for people who like lots of buttons and controls.

The turntable comes supplied with a good variety of high quality gold plated connectors allowing connections to an audio system as well as the USB port on your computer. Just now I have it playing an LP through my media system whilst recording onto my laptop (I use Acoustica's excellent "Spin it again" software to record and extract the tracks).

In short: If you're more interested in getting quality in your music (whether you're playing it direct or copying your LP collection) than impressing your X-Factor obsessed friends then the Debut III is worth serious consideration.

Pleased In Every Way 20 Jan. 2011

As an audiophile I was somewhat apprehensive that this $500 table for the bedroom/computer would be somewhat compromised in quality or sonics. Not at all! I'm amazed to report that the sonics come quite close to my "big boy" VPI table in the living room. Easy to set up with the included arm and cartridge. Preamp easily kicks up the output to line level. Haven't recorded to my computer yet, but the USB input makes that process a no brainer. Pro-ject makes some excellent gear and this table is no exception. Highly recommended.

I like this turntable quite a bit. I havent used the USB feature but having that feature, it allowes for no additional amp so I like it. Sound is great

Should have bought regular Debut III 4 Dec. 2013

mediocre preamp performance - inability to bypass built-in preamp. I was able to modify the wiring in the unit to use external phono preamp.

Avoid like the plague wrapped in Ebola 4 Dec. 2012
By ceteris paribus - Published on Amazon.com
What a horrible experience. If you want to convert your vinyl to digital there are a variety of $200 systems out there that will do the deal and sound like a $200 system. No need to spend $500 for a $100 turntable. A rip-off at half the price.

Sterile, one dimensional sound. No warmth. Cheap components. Didn't even come with the correct manual, had to download that from the mfg. web site. I have read that you can upgrade the platter. My advice would be to buy a better TT to begin with. You can't polish a turd.

I read some reviews on this and it is a love/hate experience. One reviewer said it blows away a cheap CD player (there's a clue!); I don't know if I would be that generous. The sound is a return to the old 3-in-1 stereo days.

As advertised: built in preamp so you can run directly into any line input saving yourself from buying a phono stage and trying to find an amp/receiver with a phono jack. The USB feature allows direct hookup to a computer and transfer to digital is seamless with the right software. RCA output connects so you can upgrade w/o any hassle. Quiet operation.

I let my emotions get the better of me and bought it. As with the vast majority of decisions made on that basis it was a mistake. Run away.
