Denon DP-1800 Audiophile Direct Drive Turntable Record Player Marble Top - 100V
The Denon DP-1800, introduced in 1976 during Japan's "Golden Era" of audiophile equipment, is a distinguished direct-drive turntable renowned for its unique design and high-fidelity performance. Its most striking feature is the solid natural marble plinth, which not only provides a visually distinctive appearance but also contributes to vibration damping, enhancing sound quality. The turntable employs an AC servo motor with a magnetic recording/reproducing system that detects rotational speed via 1000 pulses recorded on the turntable rim, ensuring precise speed control. Although not widely known outside Japan, the DP-1800 has garnered acclaim among audiophiles for its robust construction and superior sound reproduction.
