While many audio enthusiasts insist on this digital vs analog debate, one thing remains true.... vinyl is still alive!
Denon knows this and that's why they launched the DP-300F Fully Automatic Analog Turntable which is their entry-level offering. According to Denon, this unit has been designed with heavier base construction for reduced vibration and improved performance.
The new tonearm with removable headshell makes cartridge replacement simple.
The DP-300F has an automatic start-up feature that allows the turntable to begin play with the touch of a single button. It also has a manual lifter mechanism that allows you to place the needle on the record wherever you want. I don't have a turntable in my current setup and the DP-300F is starting to make me want one.
Some of its features:
- Excellent listening turntable at entry-level price, easily upgrades, solid build / heavy.
- Automatic operation - turntable plays at the touch of a button + tone arm returns to armrest when done.
- Built-in phono pre-amp (for amplifiers that do not have phono inputs), switchable (on-off switch is under the platter).
- Removable and upgradable cartridge pre-mounted on removable headshell, Denon MM Cartridge included.
- Rigid die-cast aluminum base to reduce vibration and improve performance. Refined gloss finish.
- Belt drive
- 33 / 45 RPM button.
- Manual arm lifter (for optional manual operation)
