Denon DP-29FA Turntable | Fully-Automatic | Selectable ON/OFF Phono Pre-Amp | Simple Set-up | Aluminium Platter & Chassis | Black
Local stock. All time low according to Camels, but was apparently cheaper ($183) during the Prime Day.

Note for millennials and younger folk: this machine allows you to play musical recordings off a 12 or 7 inch vinyl discs, where the frequency and amplitude of audio signal is mechanically encoded (etched) into the groove on the surface of the disc. This primitive technology all but disappeared by the early 90s, with the advent of digital audio recording and distribution i.e. Compact Disc (you'll just have to Google what that is). However, vinyl records did continue to be used extensively by DJs throughout the 90s until the advent of digital DJ technologies (e.g. CDJs, Serrato, Traktor etc). Since then, vinyl recordings have had numerous resurgences, probably for sentimental reasons by aging boomers and older gen X-ers. Sentimentality can be the only explanation for this strange phenomenon, because it certainly cannot be for the sound quality unless pops, crackles and non-linear EQ curves are considered the epitome of sound quality.

    This looks really cheap. Is it still the quality of denon?

      It's been around for a long time and is a very cheap, plastic plinth automatic. Not a patch on the DP-300F which is a much nicer TT overall.

    I had got mine for $183 during prime day so not ATL but still good deal

    Might be worth spelling out what this actually is, as most people under 40 will likely have never seen one before.

    This looks exactly like the Audio Technica LP60x and it probably is. A lot of these cheaper electronics (yes, this is considered cheap for a turntable) are the same underneath.

    I had an LP60x as my first table, went to a Telefunken CS-10 with an Ortofon Blue and finally a SL1200 Mk5 with the same Blue stylus.

    It's definitely a good point to get into it if you're wanting to play around with it and see if you like the hobby / collecting. It won't damage your albums (something to consider with cheaper tables) and its passable in terms of sound quality.

    The stylus is cheap and easy to replace if you do manage to mess it up as well, as is the belt. It's also got a phono pre amp built in, which means you won't need a phono box or a amplifier if you don't want to.

    If you keep your expectations of this unit to what you'd expect from a lower end turntable it's a solid unit and a decent deal. I did notice a significant difference in going from the inbuilt phono stage to using an old amplifier with inbuilt phono though.

      For better or for worse with the old amp?

    My ancient Sony also looks the same.
    Can't change the needle though it seems?
    My needle has worn out
