Where to get the best Denon turntable parts?

Denon Turntable Parts found here at the best price. In today’s economy it’s vital to get the most you’ll be able to for your purchasing dollar when searching for what you need.

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.

How are record clamps used on a turntable?

Record clamps are designed differently to record weights, and as they apply force to the disc and spindle, they needn’t be heavy nor apply additional weight to the platter. The Michell Engineering clamp requires you to place a felt washer around your spindle and placing the record on top, before securing the clamp.

What kind of Cap does a Denon 103 use?

The Cap is a simple aluminum shell from Canada that fits over the body of a stock Denon 103 and adds considerable weight to the lowest frequencies, and it tightens up imaging as well.

When did the Denon dp50l turntable come out?

The model list is missing the DP50M and DP50L from 1978. I own the DP50L, which I bought used for $50 – including a DL103. I bought a second one for less, to use as parts if necessary. But so far, no issues other than the damped arm lift requiring a little cleaning and light oiling.

What kind of tonearm does a Denon turntable use?

I have owned two Denons; a couple decades ago a DP-1200, and more recently a DP-80 which I mounted into a Denon DK110 plinth and added a Reed tonearm. Any of the quartz lock models especially will make a fine addition to a 2 channel system.

What to do with a broken Denon turntable holder?

If the holder is broken off you can make something trick with a wooden dowel glued to the plinth as a base for the above-if your 1200 is natural (light finish) the dowel will look right at home. Don’t knock a DP35F until you see and hear one in the flesh.
