Just got mine! I am beyond happy with this TT, man - it’s so smooth and easy. It sounds great with my other components and it looks beautiful!!! Yesss!!!!!
I saw this turntable when I was in Japan at Audio union, and I was instantly enamored with its beautiful looks. I thought it was gonna be a Japan only release, I was so happy to see it released worldwide. I just recently purchased one and got it all set up couple days ago. I am so so happy with this turntable. It’s absolutely gorgeous and it sounds great with my system.
Hello again Earthless, according to Emmanuel, they initially thought it might be a Japan release only, but quickly realized this 'table was too good to restrict it. At Gramophone we are sure glad they made that decision
The motor assembly is exactly the same as the old Technics SL range of Turntables. Technics addressed this with their new range of SL turntables by designing a completely different motor with zero cogging technology. Personally, I find it very hard to hear cogging and by the time you hear it, you've missed the music. This Denon is half the price of the Technics SL-1200G yet twice the price of the SL-1500 (which uses a basic new motor assembly) I'm thinking the Denon is a middle range alternative that looks audiophile rather than DJ orientated. Of course the phono preamp and cartridge chosen will determine its overall sound.
It's a completely different approach to the engine with different boards and power supplies without the problem you say. But that's the Technics marketing you can't hear.
@@makis-musiclover5315 Being a collector of Technics turntables and parts, I recognised the main motor assembly. Its that part that apparently causes the mentioned issues, not any motor controlling electronics. But like I said, you need "Golden Ears" or very special measuring equipment to register cogging. I like the Denon very much, and just might add it to my collection. I will say though that the SL-1200G is a sound improvement over older SL models. This could be down to build or even improvement in motor technology.
@@ProjectOverseer Thanks for pointing it out, I couldn't see the cogging on the Denon but I couldn't hear it on the Denon either, the motor has completely different specifications than the SL, even the magnet has a distance from the plater.I would prefer a G with a Denon arm with Denon plinth and Denon isolation to be 100% Audiophile.Don't forget that denon also made great Turntables like the DP 💯.You should go listen to the dp 3000ne 😉
Hello Jose, as much as we like the older Micro Seiki units, the technology that keeps this Denon 'table running at rock-stable speeds simply did not exist until recently. Folks have been extremely happy with the DP 3000NE we've sold - we recommend it without hesitation
