Review on ๐ŸŽต Denon DP-300F Automatic Analog Turntable with Phono Equalizer, Innovative Tonearm, Hologram Vibration Analysis, and Sleek Slim Design by Vinay Souphaphong แ Œ

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality, not suitable for use.

In order. For a start, not bad. Appreciating it is clearly bullied, I took it for 14,000, they are already selling seisas for 17. For this money you can get something more impressive. Assembly - installation - nothing complicated, everything is written in the instructions. Compared to the old Soviet turntable (I had Radiotekhnika 301M) - yes, a thing. Automation works, it looks pleasant (do not climb inside for the faint of heart!), It plays much better. But if there is a desire to put a more serious cartridge, then problems begin. The standard head is small, most of the popular cartridges are higher, so the tonearm rises up (there is no height adjustment), the geometry leaves (there is no possibility of adjusting the azimuth) and, accordingly, the tonearm does not work correctly. We have to gaskets under the cartridge and look for a thin mat. The phono stage, even in the off state, contributes its weighty word, the HF cuts (the signal still goes through the entire board). The cord remarkably "catches the radio and mobile", to replace it - climb inside with a soldering iron. Over time, a backlash appears at the place where the shell is attached to the tonearm tube. Conclusion: you can take it in the following cases: 1. If no further upgrade is planned. 2. If for some reason you are not satisfied (or there is no opportunity to purchase) an alternative from Pro-Ject or Rega in the same price category.

Pros
  • Full automatic. Ready for use immediately (on board head, phono stage).
Cons
  • There is no possibility of adjustment (tonearm height, azimuth), the counterweight is lying, by 15-20 percent, anti-skating too. The phono stage cuts the treble.

as an entry-level turntable, itโ€™s even nothing, it works perfectly with light discs, there are problems with a heavy remake, it doesnโ€™t always transmit sound correctly, I think itโ€™s a phono stage. But in terms of price / quality ratio, a very worthy option.
