Debut Carbon EVO

The Debut Carbon EVO focuses on the core aspects that make a turntable sound great. Technically correct design - expert craftsmanship - handmade in the EU. This turntable is built to last you a lifetime!

Additional features that might negatively impact the overall audio performance or longevity are left out. At that level of sonic performance, it is always better to opt for a separate phono stage. That‘s why Pro-Ject included the integrated amplifier MaiA S3 in this set.

The heavy and solid MDF plinth with new 8x hand-painted finishes look and feel better than ever before. They have been carefully chosen to reflect current trends and customer fashions.

The new platter, motor-suspension, speed control and height-adjustable feet are small details when taken individually but as a whole they add up and result in a new Debut that does not only sound better than before, but also looks and feels better and more impressive than any Debut ever has, by a long shot.

Maia S3

The MaiA (My Audio Integrated Amplifier) S3 is the all in one solution for your hifi system. With its 8 inputs you are ready for any kind of source device.

It offers a phono RCA input for MM, MI or high output MC cartridges as well as three line RCA inputs for e.g. the CD Box S3. You can also connect digital sources like your TV or a CD transport via the coax or optical S/PDIF inputs and use the MaiA S3 DAC with a quality up to 24bit and 192kHz. If you want to stream your music from your mobile phone, tablet or pc you can simply connect to the high definition AptX HD capable Bluetooth 5.0 input with a sound quality up to 24-bit & 48kHz which is better than the standard CD quality.

Speaker Box 5 S2

The Speaker Box 5 S2 is characterised by its spacious and detailed sound. A 25 mm silk dome tweeter delivers crystal clear highs, the 130 mm fibreglass cone gives full-bodied and lush mids as well as punchy and tight bass. The Speaker Box 5 S2 is manufactured with only the highest quality materials and all, 100% in Europe. The high quality materials used when the Speaker Box 5 S2 are created are restistant and ecofriendly. Special glue has been used to hold the cabinet together and to avoid any leakage.

Connect IT LS S2 and Damp IT

Connect it LS S2 is a high quality speaker cable, consisting of four 0.96mm2 Solid Core conductors with circular array geometry. Each of the four conductors are created with high-purity oxygen free copper (HP-OFC).

Damp it are particularly suitable for bookshelf speakers & prevent the transmission of structure-borne sound from subsonics up to 500 Hz. The effect is similar to electronic subsonic filters, but without their sonic disadvantages.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

Guy H.

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
