Denon DP-47F
Vintage & classic turntables · 1985–? Discontinued
$300–$600 typical US used price
A fully automatic quartz direct-drive whose servo-controlled arm electronically damps resonance and can locate tracks, without the sonic penalties of older mechanical automation. Compact, quick and very capable.
One of the few fully automatic decks audiophiles genuinely respect.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- Fully automatic: the arm cues itself and returns at the end of the side.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history, especially the belt, bearing and stylus.
