Any of you guys have experience with this table? How does it compare with say, a Denon DP-59L or amy Sony PS-X65?
Kenwood KD-750

I've used the arm, which is a good sounding, easy to use medium mass arm which, depending on headshell, can be used with many excellent cartridges.
I don't have experience of any of the complete tables (I think), but it seems to me that the Kenwood is relatively simple electronically and the Denon and the Sony are more complex (and those Sony fluid filled feet are not long term stable), which means that, while they may offer more now, they may become headaches later. (I had a similar (or the same?) Denon for a short while, and it was divine, but I was always uneasy about everything going poof, so I moved it on. But it really was fine sounding.)
I tend to like simple devices, so the Kenwood would be my choice, but tastes differ.

Two early. He is looking for a TT, after that, he will know what, his tonearm, is capable to hold.
Thanks for the confidence anyway!!

@Andre Garcia I already have a table. Two actually. I saw a Kenwood KD 750 at a dealer close to me. Guy said that the table can take different arms if the owner so wishes.
It looked gorgeous. Gorgeous enough to make me want to trade one of my tables for seed money to get it.

This was a very good turntable as long as it was working.

The 750 is a nice table but his pecking order is wrong IMO, the 770D is definitely the better table, and the 500/600 with the right arm are also a better choice, again, arm dependent. Personally, as nice as it is it's the arm on the 750 holding it back just as with the 550/650 decks. This is not a knock on this deck, all of the upper tier Kennys are excellent tables and many would agree with his lineup.

It is indeed.
Install diferent Tonearm is posible but I am not sure if with diferent lengh. The stock are is greate anyway. Just test it before buy. Check for free play and smoothness movement when is in balance.

Thanks. I've read a bit about it and noted that some owners have issues with it maintaining speed. I am considering replacing my PS-X65 with it,but don't k ow if it is worth doing so.
