The Denon DP-30L is
an electronically controlled direct drive two speed record player complete with
integral base and dust cover. The pickup is provided by the user.
Overall performance
is exceptionally good; high performance pickups seem to deliver a "little
bit extra", and resistance to external shock and vibration is unusually
high, even at low tracking forces. No stylus overhang gauge is provided; the user
must make the adjustment using a ruler, which can lead to stylus damage. There
is really no good reason why a record player of this quality and price is not
provided with an overhang gauge, which costs a few pennies, at most.
There are controls
for main power, 33/start, 45/start, speed adjust (pitch) and stop. 33 and 45
full time illuminated strobes are provided. The tonearm is manually positioned
on the record. At the end of play an optical sensor causes the tonearm to lift and
motor to stop. Alternately, pressing stop during play will cause the tonearm to
lift and the motor to stop. Pressing a speed selector control restarts the
motor and lowers the tonearm. The tonearm has a micro-adjust counterweight that
also serves as an 0-3 gram VTF calibrated in 0,1 gram increments. There is a
calibrated antiskate. The pickuup mounts in a universal headshell.
