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

I second the Technics SL1200GR.  You can start off with an Ortofon Red cartridge.  About 1800 with a cartridge & brand new.

I still use my DP-62L over everything else. Hard to beat even when I’ve spent a lot more than the $800-$900 it would cost to replace it. That’s in the US anyway.

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?

The 62L was my first analog Love, sold it back in the mid 90’s :0(

i could easily Live with the 62L, but the 59L would be a BucketList Table, im gonna finish up the last 10% of the TheaterRoom, and begin squirreling away some cash.

then of course there’s cartridge/preamp to be used.
