    Denon DP-300F Cartridge Upgrade?

    Hey folks, just got my first turntable, a Denon DP-300F. I was super excited to finally play all the records I've been collecting but was very disappointed with the sound out of the box, everything felt constrained and compressed (using the built-in preamp into an Onkyo receiver and Polk tower...

    Denon DCD-1700 intermittent skipping

    Hi all, Picked up a nice player- the DCD-1700, for cheap. It's an 80's beaut: very nicely made, heavy, and sounds great. Problem is, over the first couple of tracks on any CD, it'll skip ahead. Track 1, it skips almost right away to the middle of the song. Track 2, pretty much the same. Things...

    Shall I upgrade from Thorens TD 105 mkII to 145?

    Hi I got a possibility to get a Thorens TD 145 for what I consider a bargain (SEK 1800 - approx 230$), it is worth taking it?

    DCD-1560 vs. DCD-1560?

    I have the DCD-1520 and I love it. Has anyone compared this to the DCD-1560? What, if anything is better about the 1560? They look almost the same on the outside. Thanks!

    Denon DP-80 blowing fuses

    Hey guys! I'm helping a friend repairing his beautiful Denon DP-80. About a week ago, he turned it on without using the step-down transformer; so our denon got a 220V charge instead of a 100V. The plate spinned a few seconds then stopped. The 1.6A 30mm fuse was blown, we tried to swap it with...

    Hi everybody, I just got a killer deal on a whole system of fairly decent older gear. The turntable is a Denon DP-47F. Tried it out and it works perfectly. The DP-47F is big & bulky and doesn’t pass the WAF. I’m not crazy about it’s looks either. I’m considering selling it and possibly...
