A nice vintage piece from Japan’s golden audiophile era, this setup features the Denon DP-6000 direct-drive motor/turntable unit, manufactured 1976 to 1982, built into the matching DK-200 heavy plinth, paired with the Denon DA-50 precision tonearm.
The DP-6000 boasts quartz-phase locked servo control for extremely stable rotational speed and a high-mass platter base built to extract maximal detail and pitch accuracy. The DK-200 plinth provides a dedicated chassis designed specifically for this motor unit. This heavy weight plinth was designed to reduce vibration and support the precision turntable motor. The tonearm, the DA-50 with an effective length of ~244 mm and a spindle-to-pivot mounting distance around 230 mm, offers a medium-mass platform (~15 g effective mass) well suited to a wide range of cartridges.
Together this combination delivers a rich, analogue character that vintage Denon models of this era are known for. The heavyweight build, precision motor control and high‐quality tonearm make this a highly desirable setup for the discerning vinyl enthusiast.
