Offered is „DP-400 mit Goldring E3 Tonabnehmer“ by Denon as second-hand device from the category „Record Player complete“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 832347346 ends on 04.01.2027 at 16:12 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market: €350 is fair, but not a standout bargain. It sits above the recent comparable median of €311 and just above the €331 75th percentile, so the seller is testing the upper end of the market. For a clean, complete example, that premium is defensible; otherwise, a little negotiation would be sensible.
The DP-400 is an easygoing, capable deck with stable belt-drive speed, three-speed playback, a pre-fitted MM cartridge, switchable phono stage, and useful end-of-record auto-lift. It is especially appealing for a straightforward system where plug-and-play convenience matters, while the detachable headshell leaves room for cartridge upgrades. At this price, confirm the cartridge stylus, belt, hinges, dust cover, platter speed, and included accessories; if all are sound, it remains a solid buy rather than an overreach.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
