DP-3000NE Fully Automatic Analog Turntable & Vinyl Record Player with Built-in Phono Equalizer | Turntables for Vinyl Records | Unique S-Shaped Tonearm Design | Hologram Vibration Analysis

This turntable looks way better in real life than in photos. Real ebony wood veneer with fingerprint resistance matte finish is exquisite. Sound quality is superb with a smooth three dimensional life like quality. A direct drive motor lends to accuracy and clarity of musical detail. Craftsmanship is apparent with its hefty 40 lbs. of weight. This piece of hi-fi gear represents a great value for the money based on the excellent build quality alone and will likely last for many years of use. Push button controls, instant start and stop, swappable headshell, and on the fly VTA adjustments has shifted my own listening preferences to now mostly vinyl as opposed to CD, SACD, DVD-Audio, Dolby Atmos Music and HiRes Streaming. Denon DP-3000NE comes with a very easy to use overhang gauge for mounting cartridges. I found that having a variety of phono cartridges pre-mounted on headshells adds to the fun in being able to so easily change the sound of records. I've particularly enjoyed listening to Denon DL-103R, AT 33ptg/ii, AT VM95SH, Ortofon Super OM30, Grado Platinum 3 and Hana ML phono cartridges mounted on this turntable. Since owning this turntable I have discovered more nuances, textures and complexities in my vinyl collection. These details I have previously never heard before makes listening to music even more enjoyable.

I’ve had this turntable for 8 months, replaced the needle with an upgraded elliptical for better sound. I’ve had no problems, the speed is accurate with an app.This turntable can have the needle changed or the entire cartridge so you can add a new type of stylus. The belt can be changed and upgraded as well. It will give you many years of play and use.The automatic start and stop are easy to use, the set up is also easy, just look up YouTube video to watch if you are unfamiliar with balancing an arm and setting up the antiskate.It looks good, slim black, when I was on sale it was the best turntable for the money making it a great value .The record player is reliable and plays 45 and 33 rpm with ease.I highly recommend this turntable to anyone who wants a quality record player with years of enjoyment and growth.

The perfect turntable for those of us who like fully automatic ease. Push a button and the turntable automatically starts and the arm eases down on the record. It also has a manual lever to lift and set down the arm. The cartridge is replaceable with any that you prefer, but for me, the included cartridge and needle sounded fantastic. It is a belt drive and it doesn't have some of the frills like strobes and all, but if you want a great turntable that is easy to use, has a built-in pre-amp for receivers without a phono input, then you can't go wrong with this turntable.

I purchased my first ever Denon product, the DP-300F automatic turntable to replace my ancient Technics SL-1600 direct drive. As much as I tried to keep the old boy alive, it was time to dump it.I am extremely happy with the Denon DP-300F. It functions exactly as promised and I can again enjoy the pure delight of vinyl ( scratches and all ! ) that MP3's can't possible offer. Crisp highs, thunderous rumbling lows and a warm mid range that I've missed listening to IPOD's. I'm SOO glad I kept all my vinyl. This requires minor assembly but the instructions are clear and so easy, a chimp can do it. You will find it comes with everything needed to start listening as soon as you hook up to your receiver. The included cartridge is as good or better than the Ortofon cartridges I've used in the past. Although this is a belt drive, I can't tell the difference. WOW and Flutter is non existent but don't place the turntable too close to your speakers if you intend to crank them up.The look of this turntable is sleek and it's very easy to operate. It won't accommodate 78's, but my 45's and the 33 LP's sound great.I'm so happy to get great sound without having to spend hundreds more. This is a great value for entry level vinyl lovers as well as more critical ears. Keep in mind that your home system is only as strong as your weakest component. I use Klipsch towers and a powerful Onkyo Receiver to drive my sound.I LOVE IT ! Thank you Denon. Delivery was extremely quick and packaging was superb for a delicate item as this.
