  • Highly accurate, versatile turntable with great speed control and automatic arm lift
Color: White Style: DP450 Pattern Name: Turntable
I had been looking at getting a new turntable for a while, and was debating used vs. new when I happened upon a description of the DP-400 and DP450USB. They both checked all the boxes for me, in that they have (1) 3 speeds (33 1/3, 45, and 78), which cover all the records in my collection (I have a few vintage 78s), (2) a standard headshell, making the mounting of a new cartridge, or replacement of broken cartridge leads, very easy (it's especially nice for me since the 78s need a special mono cartridge), (3) a speed sensor that regulates the platter's rotation, holding it to the exact speed selected, (4) a sensor that lifts the arm at the end of a record side and turns off the platter motor automatically (nice for those of us older folk who sometimes doze off while listening), and (5) a low-profile dust cover that allows the turntable (which is relatively small and light) to fit nicely in the shelf space I have for a turntable. Both turntables have a switchable built-in phono preamp for high-output phono cartridges, although I have no need for that (I have a separate phono preamp -- I also use mostly moving coil low-output cartridges, for which the built-in preamp is not compatible and must be switched out). Both tables also come with a mounted Denon high-output moving magnet cartridge (more on that later). The only difference between the two turntables seems to be the addition in the 450USB of a port for insertion of a USB drive and the ability to convert a vinyl record into a digital file (either MP3 or WAV) for inclusion in a digital music collection (after editing the file using either the free Denon software or another program, like Audacity). I have done some conversions in the past, and the Denon set up is far easier to use than others, virtually all of which require the turntable to be connected directly to a computer. So I decided to purchase the 450USB, just to have the versatility. I haven't tried the USB conversion process yet. The table comes in gloss black or gloss white. I chose white, both because it looked good on line and I figured it would show fingerprints far less. I was right -- it looks great, and unlike gloss black (I have had a gloss black table before, and regretted it), fingerprints and dust do not stand out. The dust cover is a love-it-or-hate-it affair -- the cover has a stand it sits in when not on the turntable, and is not hinged, and it does not cover the entire table -- just the platter and arm. But it it low-profile when sitting on the turntable, and does keep dust off the platter and arm when the turntable is not in use -- which is the primary purpose of a dust cover. Personally, I love it. It is far less likely to end up scratched and cloudy, which happens to most hinged dustcovers, although I do worry I will drop it and it will crack (if Denon sold extras, I'd buy a couple just to have on hand). Set up was straightforward -- the guide in the box is well-written and I had no trouble assembling the turntable (although I may not be the best judge -- I have a lot of experience with turntable set up). The cartridge is pre-mounted in the headshell and is easily installed in the tonearm. I followed the directions to set the tonearm weight at two grams, using the "eyeball" process Denon describes in the guide, and then checked it against an electronic wieght scale -- just using the eyeball method, I was able to set the weight at 1.95 grams, which is well within acceptable tolerances. Using the scale, I was easily able to set the final weight at exactly two grams, even though it wasn't really necessary to do so. Setting the anti-skate at two grams was accomplished just with the twist of a knob, and seemed to work flawlessly. Using a strobe measurement wheel and strobe light, I confirmed that the speed control worked perfectly -- both 33 and 1/3 and 45 speeds were rock solid, dead accurate with absolutely NO drift. Wow. This is not that common, and the single most important attribute of a turntable -- if the turntable does not deliver accurate and consistent rotation speed, nothing else matters. The Denon produces absolutely zero "rumble" through the cartridge -- and if the turntable itself produces any meaningful noise when turning the platter, I can't hear it. The end-of-side shut off and arm lift also work perfectly, although it often takes six or seven rotations of the record after the end of the music for the arm to lift. This isn't really any kind of problem, and the fact that the arm lift is based on a sensor, instead of a mechanical switch or gear, means there is no mechanical interference with the arm's movement while playing, and no plastic gear to break (both of which are problems with a lot of semi-automatic turntables). Although the turntable is not a heavyweight, which is often helpful in preventing vibration from transmitting through the record to the cartridge and causing noise, I detected no vibration issues when walking across the floor or playing music at high volumes -- the turntable seems well-damped. And a lighter turntable is easier to place and move. The plinth is also a little more compact than a lot of turntables, although the platter is full-size. This also assists with placement. The only downside is the included cartridge. It is inexpensive, and sounds it -- not bad, just not great. Like stereo speakers, phono cartridges are a component where you really do, within limits, get what you pay for. I recommend upgrading the cartridge at the first opportunity, perhaps to a Denon DL-103 or equivalent (assuming you have a phono preamp that will handle low-output moving coil cartridges). Even after upgrading, for roughly $1000 all in, you can have a turntable and cartridge of superb quality, versatility, convenience and performance that rivals other turntable/cartridge combinations that cost two to three times as much. Skip the USB option, and you can have the same performance for about $800.00 with the DP-400. Either way, this is a great turntable. ... show more

  • Best Turntable on the Market!
Color: Black Style: DP-400 Pattern Name: Turntable
Of all the turntables I tested, the Denon DP-400 offered the best combination of sound quality, ease of use, and convenient features—including a built-in phono preamp, a speed control dial, a cue lever, and automatic platter stopping with tonearm lift. Plus, it’s easy to upgrade the cartridge to get even better performance. The DP-400’s sound quality is very good. Background noise ranged from very quiet to almost inaudible, and this model did a good job suppressing pops and other issues in records that some turntables had problems with. As much as I enjoy listening to vinyl, hearing fewer pops and crackles is always a good thing. Some of the other turntables offered slightly better bass detail, but that was due to the cartridge that came preinstalled. When I replaced the Denon DP-400’s stock cartridge with an Ortofon Red or Blue, it sounded as good as or better than any of the other turntables I tested.

Photo: Rozette Rago 1 of 4 Measuring the performance using the Platter Speed app, I found the belt-drive Denon DP-400 to be the most speed-accurate of all the turntables we tested at both 33 rpm and 45 rpm speeds. In tests, it had a bit more wow and flutter than some competitors, but that’s not something that I heard when listening. Aside from the fully automatic turntables we tested, the Denon DP-400 was the easiest to use. Balancing the tonearm is simple, and speed selection is done with a dial, so playing back 33, 45, or even 78 rpm records doesn’t require lifting up the platter (as you must on some of the other turntables we tested). The included auto-stop function stops your record when you get to the end of a side and lifts up the turntable arm. This saves wear and tear on your stylus needle, which might only be rated for 300 to 400 hours of use, and lets you enjoy playing a record while you do other things without worrying that you aren’t there to stop it. The integrated phono preamp performed well and is easy to disable if you’d prefer to use an external phono preamp. Unlike some of the other turntables we looked at, the Denon uses standard RCA phono jacks instead of an integrated cable, so you can select a cable of the appropriate length. Using an external phono preamp worked well, and this turntable includes a grounding wire connection that some others lacked to help eliminate any ground hum that could occur. A side view of the denon record player showign the phono out and other ports.

Finished in a gloss black, it lacks the cheaper, plastic feel of some other models, and it includes a stylish cover that does double-duty as a record presentation stand. It’s easy to upgrade the DP-400 to a higher-quality cartridge down the road. With some of the turntables we tested, you are limited to using the company’s own cartridges. Others lack a counterweight that you can adjust to account for a new cartridge. The Denon accepts a standard SH-4 headshell, so it’s simple to install a pre-mounted Ortofon Red or Blue cartridge with no tiny screws. I upgraded to an Ortofon Blue, and the resulting sound was so good that I see no reason to ever upgrade past that. If you want to digitize your record collection to save to a computer or hard drive, Denon offers the DP-450USB, which is otherwise identical to the DP-400 but adds a USB output for an additional $100. This is an easy way to make digital copies of your favorite albums but not as easy as just streaming those titles from a music service (although the sound quality may not be the same and certain records might not be available to stream). ... show more
