Customer Ratings & Reviews

This turntable is a beast. It is very heavy and well made. It performs well with my Ortofon 2M Red phono cartridge. There are numerous ways to tweak its sound too. One can adjust the tracking angle with ease and tonearm height. Connecting the turntable is very easy. The AC power cable, ground cable and tonearm cable is very easy. They are not recessed where they are hard to reach like my Technics turntable. The ebony finish is first rate. Overall this is the best turntable I’ve ever had.

I demo’d this, the SL-1200gr2 and the SL-1200G all with the same AT-OC9SL cartridge. The Denon sounds better than the GR2, but the G sounds a bit better to me than Denon, but at $2k more its not that much better. Denon FTW!

Turntable is solidly built with a nice heavy platter. Comes up to speed very quickly when turned on. Stops nearly instantly when turned off. Paired with a Denon DL-103R cartridge, the sound is very pleasing. I had forgotten how good vinyl can sound. It is a bit of a ritual to clean the record and manually start and stop playback, but that somehow adds to the listening pleasure.

Exceeds my expectations, the SOUND is truly just Amazing !!!

I had purchased a Technics SL1300G that I was not satisfied with and returned. My advisor suggested the Denon DP-3000NE. What a beast! Completely happy with this table. Packing was better. Construction better. Set-up much easier and saved $1000 to.
