I've had my Denon DP-300f for over a decade and I love it! The price hasn't even gone up which is really amazing! I have tried a couple other tables costing as much as $1500 but I still prefer the Denon. I have no desire to upgrade until I can afford to buy something in the $20 000+ range.
The included cartridge is garbage. Don't even bother installing it. I recommend the Denon DL-110 which unfortunately has skyrocketed in price... The built in phono stage is okay but the phono stage in my McIntosh C40 preamp is far superior. I also agree with others here regarding the entry level Rega turntable... I wouldn't bother with a Rega unless you get at least the RP6 model. |

Well, Rega clearly listens to their "VOC": Voice of the Customer.

FYI: the "RP-series" has been superceded with the current "Planar series"

Don't mind Dave. Like all of us, he is wrong on occasion. And this is one of them. He might not start today, but that has nothing to do with your doing so. Besides, as he said....... he's an old fart. The Rega is a very good place to start. Record cleanliness is next godliness, for sure. So budget for at least a Spin-Clean LP cleaning system. Gave my grand-daughter a nice, refurb'd Dual 721 a couple of years back and it is still providing excellent sound. When she graduates from college in a few years I'll likely up-grade her to something better. In the meantime, she, like you (and most of us) can obtain great enjoyment from a $500 vinyl TT/TA.

Exactly. This is where we are are. Borrowed our youngest daughter's TT to see if we would enjoy spinning vinyl. Had a local shop clean our massive collection of 18 (yes, eighteen) LP's. More enjoyable and engaging than we expected and sound wasn't bad at all, but not the point. So, added a few carefully selected LPs and a Spin Clean from the same shop and we will see where we go.

To the Op, I am not trying to rain on your parade, rather just making you aware of what lies ahead. You're obviously young (lucky bastard) and with all the buzz(forums, print, etc) on the vinyl resurgence it's got you thinking. One other thing, when Glenn and I(along with a lot of the other 'old farts') started out analog / vinyl was main stream and the primary medium to which we listened. |

Spin Clean.Use distilled water.I pour cleaner on pads, add the water ,spin 5-10 times each way then dry with cloths but now have a record vac.Then I dump water after washing 5-10 records, refill water run through again as a rinse.The cleaner/soap was building up on stylus and hard to get off hence the rinse.
