Denon DP-300F, What a pleasant surprise! |

I purchased this unit for a beach home to avoid having to run from the comfort of my swing chair at the terrace to the living room every time an LP finished. I was pleasantly surprised to find this turntable delivers sound that is above its price point and with the convenience of automatic shut off. I replaced the factory cartridge with a Denon DL103R, replaced the rubber footers with adjustable bronze spikes and using an external phono preamplifier. The output from the preamp is connected to the auxiliary imput of a Zeppelin Air, which is also a great product, and there it is, a simple unobtrusive system for the second home that sounds and feels right. I am using and enjoying this setup more than a true HiFi system I originally had installed in the same area and worth nearly $9k. Not to say that this one is as accurate and true to the music as the other, but if I am not doing critical listenning, I don't miss the more expensive one. Anyway, at the end is about enjoying the music, and this system has done it for me. In addition, anyone can use it since there is significantly less money at risk and very simple to use.

I`m not going to sit here and slam it and call it cheap (cause it`s not unless you`re rich )or entry level. It`s just as good as the others in my opinion plus it`s fully automatic which sold me on it. All you need with this is a top notch cartridge, good audio system to play it through and some records. Great sound, tracks well from what I`ve noticed. It`s not by any means cheap like I`ve been reading. Anyway you don`t have to spend 1000`s on a turntable to get good audio quality.

I like this turntable, it's easy to setup and use right away. Very good Owner's Manual/Operating Instruction booklet is also included. I love that it is automatic, too! The cartridge that came with it is adequate, but I replaced it right away with a Grado Black and I find that to be better to my ears. Also, I already had a Shure stylus force gauge and that made it much easier to setup the arm with. The built-in EQ is very nice to have--a great feature. So far I'm enjoying it and couldn't be happier with the service from Crutchfield.

Nice record player, especially for its price. The auto-stop and tone arm return are very nice features.
Minus 1 star for having hard wired RCA cables rather than being able to use your own. The phono preamp works fine, but investing in a stand alone isn't a bad idea

I bought the 300F to replace the 37F which I bought back in the '80's for $400., which was a lot of money then. I was very happy with it, but it was time for a new one. However, I was not willing to spend a lot on its replacement. So far, I am pleased with the 300F. It delivers good quality sound and its operation is easy. The only suggestion I would make is that I like a tonearm clasp on my turntables, and this one doesn't have one. Also, I prefer direct drive, but again, didn't want to spend a lot of money.
