Denon DP-29F

Always wanted to own a record player ?? Now everyone can own one because of this entry level, Denon DP-29F which have good functions and it is available at a good price. I bought mine for 100 Singapore Dollars on the online Carousell platform. When I bought it, I was very excited to see the performance of this modern record player which I have spent most of my time researching about it.



This player comes with a hydraulic arm that lifts up and down the tone arm. For modern record players, there isn't any counterweight or weight for balancing the tone arm. This record player is design specially for records with a common thickness. The playable speed of this record player is 33.33 rpm and 45 rpm. One interesting thing about this turntable is that, it is super light in weight at 3.5 kilograms only !!!



Besides that, this record player have an auto player function which includes the auto return function where the tone arm will arrive back at it's rest place after finishing playing the record. Auto return function are good as it will reduce spoilage of the stylus that have being continuously playing on the same spot at the end of the vinyl.

The sound quality of the record player is excellent and there is very low distortion. It also comes with it's original Denon diamond stylus which is very long lasting. Diamond stylus can last close to 700 hours of playing based on my experience.

One thing bad about this record player is that, the stylus is very hard to change. The location of the screw for the cartridge is located at the bottom, which means you have to turn the whole entire record player upside down just to change the stylus. Another disadvantage, its belt drive and not direct drive. Belt drive turntable will require changing of the belt after a few years of using especially in hot condition weather in Southeast Asia countries.

Overall, I am very impressed about this wonderful modern record player that I have here.
