Denon DP-3000NE
High-end turntables · 2023–present In production
$2,499 US reference price
Denon's premium 16-pole direct-drive deck reviving its DP heritage line: 33/45/78 RPM, high-inertia aluminum platter, S-shaped tonearm tuned with hologram vibration analysis, and a bypassable built-in phono equalizer. Weighs 40.8 lb; dark ebony wood-grain MDF plinth.
The serious Japanese direct-drive alternative to the Technics SL-1200G in US hi-fi stores.
Good to know
- Has a built-in phono stage, so it can feed a normal line input on an amplifier or powered speakers without a separate phono box.
- Sold without a cartridge fitted — budget for a compatible cartridge and setup before first use.
