Pro-Ject Debut RecordMaster Turntable Project Debut RecordMaster in beautiful walnut finish in mint condition.The RecordMaster has a built in MM phono preamp / stage. It's ready to go plugged in into any line level inputs on your amp. Bought new and have used it very sparingly, avg. 1-2 hours per month for the last few years. Fastidiously maintained and regularly cleaned, adjusted and used with care throughout its short life.Ortofon 2M cartridge is installed. A significant upgrade from the stock OM series. I’ve enjoyed the 2M Red for the last few years and the stylus is now towards the end of
A$600 is a strong deal here: it sits below the A$581–A$1,017 middle band and comfortably under the A$858 median, so this is priced more like a bargain than a merely fair buy.
The DEBUT PRO is well regarded because it gives you a genuinely serious manual deck with good speed stability, solid build, and enough upgrade headroom to keep it interesting as your system improves. In like-new condition at this price, the appeal is the usual Pro-Ject value proposition: easy to live with, easy to place, and capable of sounding properly revealing with the right cartridge and phono stage. If it’s complete with dust cover, counterweight, and power supply, it looks like a very sensible buy.

Pro-Ject Audio Systems traces its roots to 1991 in Austria's Weinviertel region, north of Vienna, where founder Heinz Lichtenegger launched the brand amid the CD revolution. Kicked out of music school as a youth, Lichtenegger channeled his passion for analog sound into affordable, high-quality turntables at a time when vinyl seemed obsolete. His debut Pro-Ject 1, hand-assembled in the Czech Republic, earned rave reviews as a top high-end device, igniting a success story that relocated headquarters to Vienna before returning to Mistelbach in Lower Austria.
The brand excels in turntables, establishing itself as the world's largest and leading producer in that category, while expanding into a full spectrum of hi-fi components since 2000. Offerings include amplifiers, DACs, headphone amps, speakers, cables, and phono stages, all emphasizing essential sound reproduction with durable materials and minimalist design. Manufacturing remains European—primarily in Czechia, Slovakia, and Germany—prioritizing sustainability through local sourcing, short transport, and products built for longevity.
Pro-Ject holds a commanding niche as the go-to for mid-tier audiophiles seeking boutique European craftsmanship without extravagant pricing. Distributed in over 80 countries, it appeals to vinyl revivalists and discerning buyers who value analog purity, innovation, and value-driven performance over flashy excess, cementing its reputation as a pioneer in accessible high-fidelity.
