DENON DP-57L:A quality-made Japanese "Golden Era" direct driveItem DescriptionThe DENON DP-57L is a direct-drive turntable released in Japan in 1982, during the "Golden Era" of Japanese audiophile equipment. Although mostly limited to Japan, Denon turntables from this era have a phenomenal reputation worldwide for their high-quality playback performance, especially the stable rotation speed, high SNR, low motor noise, and low wow and flutter. The DP-57L was produced as an improvement to the DP-60, taking some ideas from the excellent DP-100M, such as a purely electronic arm-damping mechanism. Japanese critics have remarked on the stability and robustness of the DP-57L. The “L” signifies that this turntable is fully automatic, and equipped with an auto-lifting arm.This turntable is in Very Good condition, with some aging throughout (please see picture), including some scratches and scuffs.
