As Denon's newest fully-automatic turntable, the DP-300F gives you solid, stable performance at a reasonable price. Get out those LPs now because the DP-300F is ready to go right out of the box.

Black Finish; Aluminum Platter

Don't Toss Your Albums—Invest In A Better Turntable

The DP-300F has been designed with a heavier base construction to decrease vibration for superior performance. The turntable sheet is 5mm thick and uses hologram vibration analysis to improve its ability to hold a record. The turntable is also made of rigid diecast aluminum to achieve high inertial mass for stable rotation. In English? The platter rotates uniformly for smooth, flutter-free operation.

What Could Be More Graceful Than Robby The Robot You Ask?

The DP-300F's all-new tone arm. Tone arm action starts and stops automatically using gentle lifting and lowering motions to protect your vinyl investments. You, or your robot, can lift the tone arm manually too, but not with the grace and style the DP-300F provides automatically.

Magnetic Attraction

The DP-300P moving-magnet (MM) cartridge headshell is removable, making cartridge replacement quick and painless. The standard-mount headshell allows for any standard-mount cartridge between 5-10 grams to be mounted and balanced, and since fine adjustments can also be made for anti-skating and zero balance, near-perfect playing conditions can be achieved. Plus, the straight tone arm brings out the maximum performance of cartridges with its superior tracing capabilities. How could you resist?

Lacking Input?

Have no fear if your receiver lacks a phono input. The DP-300F includes a built-in phono equalizer.

Ready-To-Wear

The DP-300F's 4mm-thick cabinet wall offers both strength and high density and is beautifully finished with a gloss coating that would compliment any disco ball. The tone arm and turntable have been formed in a slim, textually attractive design. With a body width of 434mm, it goes very elegantly with contemporary, full-size stereo components.

I am a professional musician, I hadn't planned on actually listening to my LPs when I purchased this turntable, I only wanted a quality turntable to allow me to transfer my old LPs to disc. I still cannot believe my ears when playing my 20 year old LPs on this turntable. For small group jazz, the sound is better than the CDs I have of the same material. I have never belived that LPs could ever sound better than a CD, now I do, although when it comes to orchestral music, I still think CDs still sound better due to lack of compression. My music studio has 10 speakers, 2 amps and all kinds of effects processors to make digital music come alive. I never would have believed a turntable and 2 speakers could produce nearly the same effect. Sure, there are pops and hisses on occasion, but the warmth and size of the sound stage is well worth it. This turntable tracks perfectly and is easy to balance the tonearm. Highly recommended.

Elegant design, easy to set up, brilliant sound. A quality turntable by a quality company. Fully automatic means not having to worry about the platter continuously spinning and the needle being damaged at the end of record. At the higher end of budget turntables but worth every penny. Thank you Vanns!

The Denon DP300F offers very good performance for the price. The automatic operation is smooth, quiet, and dependable. I am using this turntable to convert a large collection of vinyl LP records to MP3 files. Although there is no strobe light to monitor turntable rotational speed, I know from my recording software track timing that the actual speed is very accurate. I was initally concerned about the absence of a dedicated ground wire, but have had no electrical hum problems. Using the same electrical circuit for both my computer and turntable may have helped me avoid AC hum. My only complaint about the DP300F design is the difficulty I had in accurately calibrating the tone arm tracking weight. This is because the calibration ring and the counterweight are adjacent to each other but not connected, so one can be accidently rotated independent of the other. However, they must be rotated together to accurately set the tracking force. I advise the purchase of a separate gauge to measure tracking force.
