The Denon DP-3000NE blends vintage broadcast turntable heritage with modern engineering, offering precise speed control, advanced tonearm design, and exceptional resonance damping. Designed for both audiophiles and newcomers, it delivers rich, detailed, and fatigue-free analog playback that rivals higher-priced competitors.

It's truly a no-compromise turntable built for the discerning listener, thoughtfully engineered without gimmicks and purposefully reimagined for long-term analog performance with minimal maintenance. Nearly every vital calibration parameter is available (barring azimuth on the stock head-shell), making this deck a joy to fine-tune and tailor to your system’s strengths.

That looks to be a really nice, well thought out and built turntable. With the quality of the machining and overall build quality the price seems very much in line with that. I would suggest that most outfits would have priced it higher.

I think only someone like Denon (a mass producer of hifi gear) can produce a turntable of this calibre at $2,800. If even the popular brand such as Pro-Ject, price would have been at least twice as much.

AND even though they still offer some of their great moving coil cartridges, none of their integrated/preamps or AVRs have a MC preamp.
