ESPRIT SB UPGRADES
includes built-in Speed Box, which allows you to switch speed between 33/45rpm by pushing button located on top surface of turntable (standard Debut Carbon models require manual belt shift to change speed)

ORTOFON 2M BLUE vs 2M RED
The 2M Red features a diamond tipped stylus – meaning a diamond cap is fused to a metal shank which is connected to stylus cantilever. The 2M Blue forgoes the shank and the diamond connects directly with the cantilever. Listeners will hear clearer extension of high frequencies with less sibilance and better retrieval of subtle details. The reason for this is that the nude diamond weighs significantly less than a bonded-type, so the grooves of the record will move the diamond more easily.
