Denon TTs and 12" tonearms

[releone71]

Hello guys, I would like to have an opinion regarding a Denon motor/plinth combination sold separately in a Japanese on line shop: a DP-3000 motor and a DK-2300 base.

The plinth is milled, as far as I can see from the pictures, for two arms and I would like to arrange a Micro Seiki MA-202L (10") and a SME 3012 which I own.

Basing yourself upon your experience, is there surface enough to properly install those arms over the 2300 plinth? Any issue with that motor/plinth assembly?

Any other option/suggestion is welcome.

Thanks for your support.

You will likely have to replinth the Denon to do this.

Thanks Kent. No need to replinth the Denon until there is enough surface on top. I'm able to enlarge the pillar housings under the covers if necessary, as I have the equipment to properly work the wood.

In the meanwhile I've found a beautiful DP-6000 on DK-2000G (double housing as the 2300) for a few bucks more and I think I will go for it. Any opinion on this combination?

Nice turntable in my opinion. Appears to have room for a 12" tonearm, dustcover clearance may be a issue. In good order, a very nice performer in my opinion and a worthy choice.

Oh well...no dustcover in the unit I've found (un)fortunately...
