Denon DP-300F Fully Automatic Analog Turntable
The Denon DP-300F Fully Automatic Analog Turntable has a number of features to recommend it. Let's review the main ones. Fully Automatic is one of them. Automatic startup allows play to begin with the touch of a button. The tone arm automatically returns to the rest position once play has stopped, saving your records and the needle. Sporting a heavier base construction makes for reduced vibration and better performance. Cartridge replacement is a snap with the DP-300F's new removeable headshell. The rigid diecast aluminun platter makes for smooth uniform rotation and low flutter. Cueing is a snap using the manual lifter mechanism. A built in preamp makes an outboard audio tuner unnessessary, although you may certainly use one if you choose. A DC servo motor capable of playback at 33 1/3, 45, or 78 rpms powers the unit.
User Reviews
Here's what one user has to say:
I am a professional musician, I hadn't planned on actually listening to my LP's when I purchased this turntable, I only wanted a quality turntable to allow me to transfer my old LP's to disc. I still cannot believe my ears when playing my 20+ year old LP's on this turntable. For small group jazz, the sound is better than the CD's I have of the same material. I have never belived that LP's could ever sound better than a CD, now I do...This turntable tracks perfectly and is easy to balance the tonearm. Highly recommended. W. Lucas
