  • 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

  • A major improvement over the 300f, and the speed sensor works!
Color: Black Style: DP-400 Pattern Name: Turntable
The media could not be loaded. First, this is not a “fully automatic” turntable. I know that on Amazon it's not listed as one, but I have seen it called that elsewhere. The tone arm has a selectable auto-lift function, but placing the stylus onto the disc is still a manual process similar to most other TTs. I’ve put it through about 40 hours of listening over the past few weeks. Mostly it’s been classic jazz along with miscellaneous rock thrown into the mix. So far it’s held up pretty well. It took about 10-12 hours for the cartridge to loosen up, but after that everything sounded great. If I notice any issues down the road I’ll update this review. Perhaps my absolute favorite thing about it is the fully removable, low profile dust cover that doubles as an album sleeve display. It’s an ingenious concept. It’s 1.) sturdy and 2.) allows me to squeeze the turntable into a shelf as shown in the attached photo. That is, I don’t have to fret over needing enough room to flip up an attached dust cover. My first impression is that Denon designed this to smooth out the wrinkles in the DP-300f, which really wasn’t a bad TT to begin with. The 300f was plagued by rumors of speed / motor deficiencies, and the permanently affixed power and signal cables along with the absence of a ground point made it a non-starter for more finnicky consumers. With the DP-400, the power and signal connections are open and thus upgradeable, and there is a ground point. The speed monitoring function appears to work extremely well. The lines on the strobe disc that I use for speed checking are totally and completely static. They don’t move the slightest bit. The knobs are in a different ballpark compared to lower priced counterparts from Denon, which have buttons instead of knobs anyway. They are big, beefy, and they feel solid. The power on /off knob that is also the speed selector feels very durable. Same goes for the anti-skating dial. The counterweight is also a very heavy and solid upgrade to the counterweight for the 300f. No comparison. When I wanted to set the tracking force at 2.0 grams, I was able to get the gauge to 2.01 grams. Absolutely precise micro-adjustments are possible with this counterweight / tone arm combo. A complaint that 300f owners had was the so-called tone arm clamp that was really a twist tie. This time Denon included a fully functional clamp integrated into the tone arm rest. So that’s another item checked off the list. A big thank you to Denon for doing that. Also, it’s an S-shaped tonearm, which looks classy. Advertised signal-to-noise improved slightly over the 300f maybe because of the external power supply. It went from 60 to 62, the latter being similar to that of the highest quality tape decks of yore. I did not detect audible noise while playing 180g LPs through quality speakers powered by a flagship Denon AVR. Consider that this S/N rating factors the stock cartridge and "equalizer" into the equation. Both are low-output as far as voltages go. The manual --which is also a lot more detailed btw--says that total voltage output with EQ and cart is 150 mV. Compare that to the 500mV that an $80 after-market pre-amp like a Pro Ject Phono Box produces. Here's my only real complaint: the cartridge. It is the same DSN-85 stylus / cartridge combo that is found in the 300f. I’m confused about that. The 200f has the DSN-84. So if the 300f has the 85, then shouldn’t the 400 have like an 86 or something? Denon couldn’t have just slightly changed the 85 to give us consumers peace of mind? I guess they figured if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it. But even the Marantz TT42 stock cartridge, the 251 S, is a better cartridge. Marantz and Denon both share the same ownership. Couldn't Denon have just adopted the 251 S for this turntable? On the same token, enthusiast-grade turntables aren't expected to include a cartridge anyway. The idea is that the money the manufacturer could've put into a cartridge went into the TT instead. That seems to be the case with the DP-400 ---that Denon included a giveaway quality cartridge so that a better product overall could be produced. An after-market cartridge costing as little as $40 will be a noticeable improvement, as the DSN-85 is a low output 2.5mV cartridge. Consider that the $40 AT95e has 3.5mV of output, which is still on the low end. A $100 Ortofon Red has 5.5mV of output, more than doubling that of the DSN-85. Spend just $100 on a Pro-Ject Phono Box pre-amp which Denon recommends on their website and there is yet another improvement. That is when the real potential of this turntable has been unlocked. A $59 Phono Box E would also work. For $500 we expect a TT that will outperform tables like the Orbit Special and Debut Carbon, both dominating the sub-$500 market right now. Yamaha's new turntable line just hit virtual shopping shelves as well. With the Orbit Special’s hardwood plinth, Ortofon cartridge, and acrylic platter, it’s hard to say that this DP-400 will be giving its competitors a run for their money. Then again, the Orbit has a straight tonearm and no on-the-fly speed selector. Nor does it have a ground point. But how much that actually matters is really debatable. It all depends. Also, neither the Orbit nor the Debut Carbon has a built-in EQ for <$500 if you need one. You might say the wow & flutter of .10% is where this Denon leads in its price group. It's difficult to find one spec'd lower than .2%. Consider that W&F of .3% is generally unacceptable. So, that did have some bearing on my decision. For the Debut Carbon to get anywhere near those specs, a $100 accessory, the Speed Box, is required. I guess the pros and cons could go on forever. The innovative dust cover is a major selling point for me, and if the speed monitor works perfectly for years and years then I am very satisfied. Ultimately, I gave it 5 stars because it clearly provides a better value than the 300f in many ways, and so far my favorite LPs sound terrific. For this table to sound its best, a cart and pre-amp upgrade is critical. But the same can be said about most TTs in this price range. Even if neither was included, it would still be worth it for its build quality alone. Also, kudos to World Wide Stereo for A+ cust service. ... show more
