The new Evolution features an improved motor suspension system that uses a steel plate and TPE decoupling.

For the first time, a Debut turntable allows you to switch between 33 and 45 RPM without removing the platter and adjusting the belt, by flipping the power switch to the left (for 33) or the right (for 45).
