Denon - DP-300F Fully Automatic Analog Turntable with Built-In Phono Equalizer, Unique Tonearm Design, Slim Design - Black

I researched alot of record players before settling on this one. I wanted a record player that was more rated as higher then beginner level, but still had an auto start and stop. This one fit the bill. I can even do upgrades on the cartridge later. I was nervous about what the set up would entail, but as long as you follow the directions, it is easy to set up. I really enjoy the sound quality, as it sounds very full and warm. I love that it is automatic, so I can press a button for it to start the record and it will automatically lift the arm and stop the record when it is over. This is great for me as I may be doing other things in another room and will not bet able to get to it in time.

The assembly for the turntable is easy, you just have to follow the simple instructions and it’s ready to go. This is my second record player but my first one over $100. The design is simple, yet sleek and sturdy. It has some weight to it, which is good. This definitely has more to it than my previous one. I still need to read all the instructions to get the best sound and use but overall I am loving this turntable.

Exactly as advertised, excellent sound and easy to use. Very simple, crisp clear sound. Materials are of very good quality, like that of turntables much more costly. Only watch out, really read the instructions carefully. There is some assembly required, look at the diagrams and the arrows very close.

The Denon 300F is a fantastic fully automatic turntable that delivers hours of listening enjoyment without the work of a manual turntable. I purchased this turntable several years ago for my wife who needed an automatic to replace her manual Pro-Ject in her home office. The turntable has not had any issues and has worked flawlessly since purchasing, which prompted me to purchase this second one to add to our receiver downstairs. Setup is very easy out of the box and only requires a few minutes to set up and balance the tonearm, especially if you have a turntable stylus force scale. For vinyl collectors, there are good turntables and there are great turntables and this falls under the latter. As with anything, quality does cost, and this turntable was luckily on sale at the time from Best Buy at a great price. If you are interested in purchasing a fully automatic turntable that delivers, then consider the Denon 300F from someone that has purchased 2 and has not been disappointed with either purchase.

This turntable works like a champ (at this price point). As my first turntable it is easy to set up and I love the auto off feature it offers. The only inconvenience part is the length of the phono cable. I definitely recommend it if you look for a solid turntable at a affordable price range.
