Electrically restored DP80 in a slate plinth is in the same ballpark with an electrically restored Technics SP10 Mk2 in a slate plinth, and the Denon is much less expensive for some mysterious reason. I own both. Electrical work on Denon includes replace all electrolytic caps, upgrade some transistors (there are modern equivalents with better performance and reliability), evaluate function of the one IC in the circuit. If IC is bad, replacement part is available. All of that work was done for me by a pro for less than $300. DP75 mentioned by T is pretty much the same animal as DP80. I also added damping material to the underside of the decorative ring that surrounds the platter. Otherwise, the ring rings.
What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl
I am FINALLY about to pick up a Denon AVR-5803A and match it to a DVD-5910. I am looking for the best Denon turntable to accompany this pair. I am wanting a attainable one (not one that I will never find and when I do it is $2k). I am needing the toner arm and cartridge match information as well. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks guys

http://www.hifido.co.jp/KW/G0301/P0/A10/E/30-10/S0 I was surfing Hifido, when I found the above item. Great turntable and tonearm with decent plinth for less than $1K. Hifido will ship internationally. |
I have a DP-62 and it is quite a good large heavy TT. But with the Denons that have interchangeable arms, be sure to try to get the accessories. Mine has a straight arm, an S arm, and several interchangeable counter-weights. Wrong weight might make it impossible to balance the cart you have. The S arm has interchangeable headshell capability, so if you want to swap carts it saves alot of pain. The straight arm is nice but you gotta remount each cart on it. Very nice quiet TT with perfecto speed consistency. |
