Mike ..I got it hooked up this morning to the 250Ti's (with 375wpc available)Originally Posted by MikeBrewster77
but, where I am coming from ?? : started out with Garrard TT..then into Dual's for a while ...Pioneers and Technics ...back to a Dual 701 (great TT) until CD came in .....dusted it off a couple of years back and it immediately blew a transformer (replacement unavailable) ...snagged the V-15T3 off it and sold to a national Dual repair shop....since then its been back to Thorens, Pioneers , Technics, Duals , B&O's and the like...even a SL1200 mk2...
2 months ago I picked up a Denon DP-45F (full auto) with a Denon DL-160 cart ....I have really enjoyed it and the little guy will be around here a long time. Have been buying a lot of vinyl the last 3 years and was delighted to discover record shows.
So I am invested in LP playback and decided that instead of periodic turntable replacement , that I would just drop a little extra and go for a keeper.
This Denon DP-60L was in fab condition with both arms . all the accessories , and box with manual ...I wish it had a better cart ..looks like a barely used Grado blue ....I'll either put the V-15 on it or go for another Denon DL-103 ....even with a middling cart it sounds better than most anything I've ever heard ....it produces no mechanical noise at all ...at 30 pounds, it aint gonna fly away either ..the manual says that the straight arm sounds better than the S arm thats currently in use .....its a tweekers delight ..almost everything is adjustable ....unless it dies on me next week , I would surely give it a high buy recommendation .
its not completely manual , but you place the cart at your starting point..hit "START" and the platter starts and the stylus cues...at lead out it picks up stylus and stops platter rotation ...there is an electronic button for cue up & down....speeds rock solid...there is an indicator light that comes on when it thinks you are on lead out ...everything adjustable.
another benefit...the Ol doesn't give a NanoCrap about stereo gear ...cant tell a CD player from a sub-woofer...even she walked by and said "wow that's beautiful" ."just buy it ??" .I nodded .."$100 ?" ...I just nodded again...
One more thing ..it is dual voltage , so the thumbs up is good for you guys on 220v too.
