“Inspired by Denon’s legendary DP series direct drive turntables, the newly-designed DP-3000NE (introduced in late 2023) serves as the brand’s flagship model. It’s easy to see all the custom development that went into this model – the fully articulated tonearm, the beefy platter design, custom feet and all the way down to the custom record stabilizer. Underneath it all, the algorithmically controlled motor has been reviewed as one of the most stable and responsive on the market. Lastly, the build quality is impressive with a mass of 41 lbs.” – TTL
