Is the Denon 57m a 2 speed turntable?

By Eleanor Gray

Is the Denon 57m a 2 speed turntable?

Denon 57M is a 2 speed manual turntable; manual function makes it very reliable compared to the more complex automatic versions. Desirable S Shaped arm & original Denon detachable headshell. This is a very good sounding turntable that throws a big soundstage.

Why is my Denon dp-1200 turntable not working?

Turntables like this DP-1200 have often never been serviced. Dust and dirt tends to accumulate in the controls and switches. The volatile components in lubricants originally used in the switches and potentiometers evaporate over time. This causes intermittent control operation and even erratic platter speed.

Is the Denon sl-7d direct drive turntable good?

This lovely Denon SL-7D direct drive turntable needed a thorough service in order to play records nicely again. I figured it was a great opportunity to review this classic deck. I’ve written about the Denon SL-7D previously, they are good, honest turntables and I enjoy working on them.

How big is a Denon dp50l turntable platter?

Somewhere in the Denon turntable timeline, the products start to become a little more plasticky. The DP50L is from the era of 20mm MDF cabinets ( 60mm under the arm ), 1.2Kg platters, metal arms and quality engineering. Even the mat has its own laser holographic analysis:

Which is better the Denon dp-80 or the DP 75?

From my research and moving down the list, the DP-80 is advanced and pretty, but it runs on 100V and requires a step down transformer. The DP-75 doesn’t have that restriction best I can tell, and it appears to have better specs than the DP-80 oddly enough. But I think those are both just turntables.
