I have had a few expensive TT’s. Some with $3500 arms. I got out of vinyl only to then get back into it. I love the look of Denon’s you have mentioned, and always wanted one. There’s a guy on EBay who specializes in selling restored ones including Yamaha’s as well. I bough one of his Yamaha’s for $700 recapped and restored. I had him mount my a $1600 Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star cartridge on a Soundsmith wood head shell. The unit sounds incredible. You will need a good phono pre? Go for it! If not now, when?
If you had $1,400 , A TTable thing
My hometheater is 90% complete, the room acoustics are exactly where i wanted them due to diffusers, absorbers and corner traps.....
wts, im ready to delve back into 2ch analog ttable. I really wanna spin records again.
I have always wanted a Denon Dp59L, i use to own a 62L, On the used market shipped, they (59L) average $1000 to $1500......
Have at it, give your thought on alternatives, or a “Go for it” as to the Denon
