This unit seemed relatively solidly constructed, and had a handsome appearance. I was a bit put off at the prospect of spending $500-$1000 on a new turntable and wasn't sure if all that fuss was really necessary. The turntable only takes a few minutes to set up, and comes with a mediocre pre-mounted moving magnet cartridge. After set up, I switched on the built in phono amp and connected the unit directly to my receiver. The sound was not bad, but was also not exactly what I had expected. Surface noise was relatively high, bass and low mids were muddy and broke up a bit, and highs sounded a bit rolled off. I then hooked the turntable up to my backup 20-year old Onkyo receiver in my office with a built in phono preamp, and I noticed an improvement in sound quality. However, I was still not happy with the overall sound of the unit, it was lacking in overall detail. I thought that...

The internal phono preamp means it can be connected to any available line input on a receiver. The preamp can be switched off if your receiver has a Phono input. I upgraded the phono cartridge to a Shure M97XE and did not bother to even listen to the Denon factory installed cartridge. A small needle nose pliers (not supplied) and lots of patience is a must. The user manual is well written and comprehensive. BUT do not plug the turntable in until all the adjustments have been made. (I had to learn the hard way.) I didn't expect audiophile sound here. Listening to Pop or Classical at medium-low volume is satisfactory. But there is no isolation from external sounds or vibrations. If you like Rock or music of any genre played loud, feedback can set in and sound terrible not to mention the possibility of damaging your speakers or amp. 23 of 27 people found the following review helpful:  Quality product at a low end price, By This review is from: Denon DP-300F Fully Automatic Analog Turntable (Electronics) I used to use a very old pioneer belt drive full automatic. After using it for about 10 years (after my father has used it 20 years) I switched to a Thorens' low end model - TD-158. It had nice tone arm, smooth operation, and delivered a quality sound when combined with a good cartridge like shure V-15 type III. But sometimes I fall asleep when I listen to music and when I wake up I find it hung at the end of the record (because it does not have auto-return) wasting my needle and making noise. Now it serves my father, and I had to find a new one - affordable without sacrificing quality. I tried several things in the meanwhile. I tried $70 turntable with a cartridge fixed to tone arm - I liked its compact size and operations but it did not isolate vibration from speaker and did not allow me to change the cartridge. I tried two times from eBay - one at $40 including shipping and the other t $45. Both were high quality product, but they were all damaged through the shipping. The... Read more |
