performance upgrade for all Debut series turntables, official Pro-Ject part
👉 Swap out the plastic sub-platter which connects to the turntable belt beneath the platter. This upgrade improves sound quality by dampening resonance and improving speed accuracy + wow & flutter.
👉 Place on the spindle during playback. Reduces vibrations and creates a better a fit between the record + platter. Aluminum is heavy enough to be effective yet light enough to not cause any stress on the EVO's belt driven motor.
👉 Heavy turntable bases provide a stable platform to optimize record play. The Ground It E effectively adds mass + dissipates vibrations / resonance. The feet are also individually adjustable for surface leveling. Easy to add to most setups.
